It’s a whole different way of doing a movie, which I thought was really interesting. It was fun, got to play a singing cowboy, me and John C. Reilly. And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.

America’s most celebrated radio show broadcasts its last program as their regular performers hold court in the studio. Co-starring Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson.

It was amazing. I would look at the call sheet and I would just see these actors that I didn’t believe were coming onto the set every day. It was a wonderful experience and good experience for me as my first independent film. It was nice to be able to sing live, and it’s just one of those movies where it’s always nice to have to look back on. It’s an amazing, monumental film—and cast—in its own way.

Reilly plays Lefty, a singing cowboy, in this musical drama directed by Robert Altman. America’s most celebrated radio show broadcasts its last program as their regular performers hold court in the studio. Co-starring Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan and Woody Harrelson.

I have to say, given the two old men of the sea … I think with age there comes a certain amount of, I don’t know, you’re used to being the center of your universe. It tends to inflate your ego, but I was amazed at how easily they ceded territory to each other. Bob, for the most part, because of the physical part of the production, was out in the audience most of the time, unless we were (filming) backstage. And Garrison, for the most part, was sitting up there on the stage with us the way he does on the real radio show.

I didn’t prepare too much. We just had like three days to get ready and I like to sing. It’s just really fun to sing and I don’t get to much. And at my house I’m not allowed to because your children can’t stand it when you sing. … It’s been hard to wait until everybody’s out of the house because there are a lot of them, and sing. Anyway, I was really glad to be able to do it. It was so much fun, so much fun. Pure joy.

The set was awesome. In fact, the set almost takes on a life of its own. The environment and the mood it creates almost become their own character. They become such an ingrained part of the movie

James the director gave me the graphic novel when he offered me the role so I read it immediately. It was such a great resource to have. It’s almost like a storyboard for the movie.

Running Scared

Walker stars in Running Scared as Joey Gazelle, a low-level mafioso for the Mafia member Tommy Perello. When a drug deal goes wrong, Joey is given the gun that killed several crooked cops and told to dispose of it.

I was going home with this character every day. A girlfriend of mine came out to spend two weeks with me. She left four days into it. I was all like, ‘What?’ And she goes, ‘I see you on set, you come home. You can’t relax. You’re all twitchy and jacked up on adrenaline.’ There’s no other way to do it.

Eight Below

Walker plays as Jerry Shepard in Disney’s Eight Below. The film is an adventure drama set in Antarctica, where brutal cold forces two explorers to leave their team of sled dogs behind as they fend for survival. Shepard vows to return to rescue them.

I spent almost a month, eight to ten hours a day, just working with the dogs, prior to jumping on the principal photography bandwagon…you have to earn their respect, much like you would with riding a horse. It was important that I had a relationship with each and every one of those dogs.

Capote

Keener plays Harper Lee in this biographical crime drama directed by Bennett Miller. In 1959, Capote learns of the murder of a Kansas family and decides the case will be the basis for his next, and what turns out to be last, book. He goes to Kansas to research In Cold Blood, and forms a relationship with Perry Smith, one of the killers, now on death row.

She’s a very private person, and you know, I did as much as I could in terms of reading anything I could find on her, including re-reading her book and watching the film again. I did find some essays that she wrote for I believe like McCall’s and some other magazines, ladies’ magazines which illuminated some things, for me anyway, in terms of what things she cared about in her life.

Hoffman plays Truman Capote in this biographical crime drama directed by Bennett Miller. In 1959, Capote learns of the murder of a Kansas family and decides the case will be the basis for his next, and what turns out to be last, book. He goes to Kansas to research In Cold Blood, and forms a relationship with Perry Smith, one of the killers, now on death row.

We knew that the story wasn’t going to shine him in the best of lights. But it’s a tragedy and there wouldn’t be tragedy if you didn’t see the self-awareness happen, which is not a pleasant one. That happens to him and it begins this downfall, so that’s the story. That’s the story, it wasn’t like a judgment that we made, that’s the story. This guy died at age 59 alone, of alcoholism, without writing another book. That’s the story.
