1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Court premieres on stand tomorrow. This looks like being the

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: show of the year. One of its stars, Benner tools

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: with a snow in the morning.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Ben dude, morning, how are we very well?

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: This looks absolutely awesome.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I've watched the trailer about nine times.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: Is it not just for li in communists? You know

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: where I'm going? Thank you? Is it even possible to

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: give us a quick synopsis?

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I could do my bear. It's basically a

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 4: story of four mercenary soldiers and head off to the

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 4: fictional island of Hardy Prinsloo on a secret mission and

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: everything goes askew and they end up working with their

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: captors to make the greatest hostage tapes ever and go

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 4: viral because famous freedom.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's best that that is all we need

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: to know. That The four Aussie prisoners are played by yourself,

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Kick Curry, Lincoln Unice and Alexander England.

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: You were all in Barons.

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: Together, which I also loved, and we were evidently you all.

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: Lived together in la back in twenty sixteen.

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: So that's right, Yeah, we all we all have the

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 5: same agent, and yeah, Kick at the house over there,

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 5: and you know, it's sort of like a boarding lodge

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 5: for actors, kind of going over there to try their luck,

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 5: but the four of us became really sick of Steeves

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: over there, and this is what's.

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Come out of it, cowarding house for actors. I bet

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: that's a really safe way to explain what.

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: Walk.

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you mentioned kick, you know, first time directing,

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 6: it's like the old football thing of captain coach made.

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: How'd you go? And how was it? Doing that alongside him?

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: It was amazing. He him and like you know, we've

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: done a lot of auditions together, so it's he I'm

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: and he's a terrific communicator. He's a great storyteller, but

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: he even set himself. One of the benefits of basically

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: hiring his mates is he would just point the camera

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: and sort of sit back and laugh as much as

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: everybody else. Sorry. I've done a couple of short films

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: with him and like you said, working in working on barons,

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: and he's always had a mind for it and an

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: eye for it, and so I'm really proud of him

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: as one of my best mates. It's a natural progression.

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: He was really in his element. He's where he belongs.

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cast is really next level as well as

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: the four of you that we've mentioned.

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: There's Brian Brown, Eric Thompson.

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: A face or Barzi, there's Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon.

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: How did you get the likes of Penn and Sarandon.

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: Well, again, it's it's a combination of kicks script and

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: also kicks relationships. Kicks known Sean and Susan over the

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: years through his prime in America and stuff like. And

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: it was it was kind of a man as soon

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: with like Matthew Fox, you know, it was it was

56
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: just an ask because the worst they can do is

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: say no. But everybody read it and we shot in

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: at the end of twenty nineteen. We shot like a

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: proof of concept yep. First sort of seeing if we

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: could get anybody interested to make it with us. And

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: that was as well what we started sending around to

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 4: the likes of Sean and Matthew and Susan and everybody

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: jump on board. Everybody was like, yeah, I'd love to

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: be a part of that. So we're kind of still

65
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: pinching it.

66
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: How wonderful when that happens.

67
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: But look, it's said in the fictional country, the war

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: torn country of Bahati, Prince Loo. Now that is actually

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the name of Maroon five leads. See Adam, what's gone

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: his wife?

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: What's going on there?

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: I look, I mean I think it was a really

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: funny idea that just never went away. Yes enough, it's

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: like we'll get to that one day and all of

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: a sudden, you know, the show is finished.

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: Things coming out. Yeah.

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: Fortunately I did a job with a friend of Baharti's

00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: that had caught window there, and there is no there's

79
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: no bad blood there Bahard. He did have a chuckle

80
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: a compliment.

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Surely it is.

00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: Ye, Well we'll see Holly she did so, and and

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,480

Speaker 2: I saw him on the on the trailer too.

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: I know the role he's been. He was born to

00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: going to see you in is Boys Swallow's Universe, which,

101
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not alone, is at the very top

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite books of the last five years list,

103
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Trent Dalton's Boy Smallers Universe.

104
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: How is that has that made? Is it in the bag?

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: Is it halfway through?

106
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 5: Is it?

107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 3: What's going on there?

108
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? That is that is They're still in post for it,

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: so they're still sort of crossing the t's and got

110
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 4: in the eyes with everything there. But but yeah, I

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: mean there's there's still no release date for that just yet,

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: but it will be next year sometimes. But that was

113
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: I agree. That was I've read that book and then

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, getting the opportunity to be a part of it,

115
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: it was like, what do I have to do or

116
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: do anything the book?

117
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: How amazing is it that we've especially in recent years,

118
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: we've got these incredible authors pumping out these amazing books

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: that I imagine you would all want to you know.

120
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: But do you know, what is that thing where you're

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: doing when you're in the movies and you.

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Want to get the right get the right to it.

123
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure there was a fancy word for it, but.

124
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: There's so much choice telling great Australian stories.

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: It is. It's it's interesting too because everybody's so interested

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: with existing intellectual property, you know, behind the scenes. It's

127
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: kind of got a guaranteed audience, which is kind of

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 4: where something like Court is very unique in that it's

129
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: it's not based off anything apart from you know, Kick's

130
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: wild mind.

131
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: That's enough.

132
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: Sure, that's a wild mine.

133
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, having lived with it, the we're just scratching the

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: surface with Court.

135
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 6: By the way, yeah okay, I like, well mate, you

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 6: probably reminisced just a little because it's one of those

137
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 6: thirty four degree Perth days today and there's a whopper grad.

138
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: You'll know all about beautiful Perth. He down the beach

139
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: and all the rest of it.

140
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: That is beautiful.

141
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

142
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: I love that. I loved heading out of the beach.

143
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: We go to I mean Sydney at the moment we

144
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 4: call it Koujie, but over there it's Cougie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

145
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: I remember we go there and it was amazing. I

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: remember the first time I got there and watched the

147
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: sun set over the water and I was like, how

148
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: going to hear?

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty special.

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I grew up in Brisbane, the nearest sun, right,

151
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: you're the nearest actually, but it was the nearest swimming

152
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: the beach was so far away. Yeah, so being in Perth,

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: like you know, about twenty thirty minutes to the beach,

154
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: which just fantastic. I loved it.

155
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: Well, you're welcome back anytime. Come visit us.

156
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,720

157
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,800

00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: just looks bonkers, and we love bonkers.

159
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,760
