WEBVTT - ERIC BANA | The Most Iconic CHOPPER Line Isn't Even His

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, Joe's The Dry was the second highest grossing film

0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty one in Australia, took over twenty million

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>dollars at the local box office to become one of

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the highest grossing Aussie films of all time.

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And now as a follow.

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Up, Yeah, and the star of it is just a

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 3>young up and comer called Eric Banner and he joins

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>us now. Of that twenty million dollars, Eric, how much

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 3>of that did you pocket?

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen point eight eight? I think.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>That makes sense.

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 3>When they came out, when they came out here to

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 3>do the second version, second installment, all about it? Did

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 3>you jump at it?

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 5>Well, it was interesting because we didn't really discuss it

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 5>while we're making the first one. We were just so

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 5>thrilled to be making The Dry and kind of scared

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 5>of Jane Harper's fans because you know, they love that

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 5>book so much, and we were just trying to do

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 5>the best possible version, So we didn't really think about

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 5>the second one whilst we're making the first one.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 4>And then Yeah, it turned.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Into this this huge hit, which just gave us the

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 5>opportunity to consider it. And then I was really excited

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 5>because sequels and five in Australia just don't happen like rarely,

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 5>and I've never done one in my career. So getting

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 5>to do it with my dear mate Rob who's our

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 5>writer director, was Yeah, it was awesome.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>And starring in this one alongside you is deb relief.

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>And now she seems like a right cow. How did

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I ow on earth? Did you put up with her?

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 3>She seems awful?

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, DEVI and I have known each other for nearly

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 5>thirty years and was suggested by our Cassie agent who's

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 5>Robbed Connolly's wife, Jane, and when she suggests it dead

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 5>we were.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Like, oh, of course she'd be bloody perfect, is Jill.

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 4>But I was also spearing that it wasn't my idea.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, And so you guys have had a friendship

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 3>for a very long time ages Yeah.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, My wife and her are very close friends from

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 5>way back, so you have known her forever.

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Force of nature to the drive to it's out this week,

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>coming out on the eighth Mate. In terms of I mean,

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you've done so many things and gone in so many

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>different directions, is.

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>This the place that you're really proud of?

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Look, you always you treat them all kind of similar,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 5>I guess, but there's no doubt that, you know, when

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 5>an Australian film kind of punches above its weight and

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 5>then and then travels like The Dry did really well internationally,

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 5>and that's pretty exciting because you know, we don't we

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 5>don't see Australians on cinema overseas, like, yeah, you see

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 5>us as actors, but you don't hear Australian actors and

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 5>world cinema, you don't hear our accent anywhere. So when

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 5>Australian films travel, it's really important and it puts us

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 5>on the map a little bit more, and especially when

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 5>they're seeing Australia how it really is not not some

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 5>kind of like generalization of an Australian country town or something, you.

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Know, Australian series at the moment, it just feels like

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 3>a real purple patch. Like we've all watched Boy Swallow's

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Universe prosper just there is so much acting talent and

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it feels like you've front and center. Now, does it

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 3>feel like that as an actor that this is your time?

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 2>No? Not really.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Good question, Joon's.

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 5>No, No, yeah, it's you know, I never really have

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 5>a sense of that that sort of stuff. You sort

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 5>of go from one project to another. But it's awesome

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 5>that that the three things are happening at the same time.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 5>I haven't seen Boy Swallow Universe verse yet. I read

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 5>the book and really loved it, so it's it's fantastic

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 5>And I understand that's doing really well overseas as well,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 5>is it.

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, so awesome.

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 3>Everyone everyone on the planet has a favorite Eric Baner quote.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure you get shouted out down the street,

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 3>but we just thought we'd chuck a couple at you.

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 3>This is mine from Chopper.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 4>A nev Oh, you want to give me a bit

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 4>of money? Would you do that?

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Mate? It's just the mail. I can collect it now

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>if you like.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>I think someone's pulling your leg, mate, someone's pulling your leg, Neville.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Someone will pull your other leg in a minute. Now,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 4>how much you want to give me?

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Eric? Can we ask you this? Has anyone ever in

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>your life quoted a tropic quote back to you? I

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>just can't imagine that.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Well, I love the fact that that Joe did

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 5>the up and then actually played a clip of me talking,

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 5>because usually when people want to use Chopper quotes, they

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 5>go straight to the cash.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, no cash live in my line.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Y Vince's I'll never forget.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 4>I'll never forget that night.

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we were just absolutely pissing ourselves that it

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 5>just took so much to get through that, through that scene.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 4>I can't I can't even tell you.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 3>It must have been taken so much to get through

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>that film because it's so funny, but you have to

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>deliver it like this guy's hardcore is serious.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know how you.

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Got through the whole thing.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there were some days where we really really had

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 5>a laugh, but a lot of it was deadly, deadly serious,

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 5>as you can well imagine. But yeah, in particular, that

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 5>night was probably the funniest night in the whole shoot.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to take you right back to the Castle

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Dows because maybe my mate still sometimes quote the Great

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>con Patropolis.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 5>There were so many stories, and the hotel Trace and

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I were staying in they had this one channel kickboxing

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 5>twenty four hours.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>A d Every times of my lif I've used that,

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly in twenty four hours Hard Day.

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 5>It's all in the emphasis. It's all in the emphasis.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 5>We put the emphasis. There's a little lesson.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>We came in the other day, we're talking about a

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 3>kickboxer from Maths who's a new contestant. I don't know,

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>if you follow Maths religiously.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 4>You're going to be shocked.

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 3>We came in and Hazy was like kickboxing all day, Like, oh,

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 3>that's just a channel bit of cony before we let

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 3>you go, mate, your big Saints fan?

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Is that right?

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes? I am?

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes. Thoughts this year?

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 5>Oh, very excited? Yeah, very excited. I love the fact

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 5>we've gone on the draft the last few years and

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 5>now our group of young players is emerging, getting stronger

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 5>and pretty exciting, and we've got Ross back there and

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 5>the off field stuff is incredible and we've been building

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 5>for quite some time. So I'm really I'm really excited

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 5>about about this year. I was excited last year as well,

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 5>but the end of year is going to be amazing.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you guess, but Hazy used to

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 3>work on se N, which is a sports channel. Mate,

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>this is not the platform.

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>This is Eric.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Internationals exactly right mate. Lastly, as well, the Grammy is

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>happening as we speak. You would have been to the

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>oscars and all sorts of things several times.

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>What actually goes on what's it like. Is it a

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>big oldest.

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm not great at this because I've only ever

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 5>been once the year that Munich was nominated, and I've

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 5>never had anything to do with it aside from that

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 5>from that one year, and it was I was just

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 5>trying to observe it all and there was a lot

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 5>of kind of it was just the era unfortunately, where

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 5>the swag started to drop off, so you know, they

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 5>used to give actors all this free stuff to be

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 5>to be part of these award shows and then and

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 5>then it was my mind.

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Like where's all the free stuff? But it was pretty

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 4>it was pretty insane, but it was. It was. Yeah,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.559
<v Speaker 4>it was very bizarre as well.

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 3>Walking a red carpet. I can imagine you just want

0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 3>to get it over with, wouldn't you.

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's not my favorite day of the year, there's

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 5>no doubt, but you just you just got to get

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 5>yourself up for it, don't you.

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 3>Just.

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I love that you've got that attitude as well.

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>It's it's probably more it feels like it's more of

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>an Australian way to not be right into the glitz

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and glamor of it all instead just prefer to behind

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the scenes make really good movies.

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 4>Well yeah, and the reality is, thankfully it is for me.

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 5>It's like at the most, like one one day at

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>a three hundred and sixty five.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, it always looks the other way around.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 5>When you're seeing you know, images of actors on red

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 5>carpets everywhere, and you think it's a big part of

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 5>the job, but it's actually such a thankfully, such a

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 5>really really tiny part of the job.

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I just love that you'd be halfway down a red

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>carpet thinking about sitting on the couch having a beer

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>watching the Saints.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, No, there'd be no way I'd be

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 5>going down a red carpet if it was a final on.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Chance, no chance whatsoever, and there's a big actually, even

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 4>a home and away game would be a bit of

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 4>a stretch.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Just why where? Yeah?

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Why is Eric watching ko on the record?

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Watching on your phone?

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>It's possible. Force of nature the drive too. As we
