X
now your in a new film called how do you know, it's not out until December, why promote it so early
JACK
well we figured that because it's out in December and we want it to be a christmas blockbuster which isn't easy to do, so we're trying to get it to peoples attention early so that it get's in there head so they can spread the word, prepare for it because the longer we get this film to stay in there head before it is actually released, the more the people will see it hopefully.
X

JACK
yeah we're all doing different things to get the audience to see this picture

tells him whats going to happen to him in some parts of the movie and trys to cheer him up cause he does do some stupid things
X
ha ha. it's a romance comedy it also stars owen wilson and reese witherspoon, tell me more about who they play
JACK
well to begin with there together in the movie, Owen plays a major league baseball player and Reese plays a softball player
X
alright that's partly why there together
JACK
yeah thats the main thing they have in common and later on they break up due to the one of the stupid things that in the movie my son does, is he meets a girlfriend of his which he hasn't met in a long time, there suprised to see each other and she invites him back to her apartment, then while they're there manny walks in
X
is that who owen wilson plays
JACK
yeah and he's not happy when he sees another guy in his apartment and that's when they break up
X
OK sounds good, it's a romance comedy
JACK
yeah
X
is it fun doing comedy
JACK
it is I find it's a good genre to do at my age cause there's only certain roles I can play now
X
it's quite a relaxed role in this
JACK
it is, I enjoy it though because it suits to the fact that I'm slowing down
X
would you like to do one a romcom again
JACK
I don't know, havent really thought about it. I'll wait and see what comes my way
X
well good luck in the movie, all the best and we'll look forward to seeing you in it
