Fighting Movie Premiere Female: Can you give us a ten seconds scoop as to why we should tune in to this movie? Channing Tatum: I think it’s a perfect date movie to be totally honest I mean. I know it says fighting but it’s a really movie about relationships. Terrence Howard: And the time and when it gets real vicious—this is when a girl will hide on here into her boyfriend. So any guy that is trying to get his girl to drop call and close to him, this is the movie you take. Brian White: You can smell New York off the screen. You can get inside the heads of each one of these characters, good and bad. I’m the bad guy and Channing Tatum is a good guy. You know he’s both by end of this movie. You know there’s romance, there’s drama and all man is action. Zulay Henao: Why you should go and see the movie because one, it’s highly entertaining. There’s a lot of good fighting in it, you have Channing and Terrence and there’s a love story. Who doesn’t love a love story? Is that ten seconds? Dito Montiel: Oh, you know, it’s fun and it’s a crazy movie and I don’t know. I enjoyed it and I really love making it and they get to roam in with a lot of friends around New York after hours and film some madness. Flaco Navaja: It’s a cool film shot completely in New York. And it features Terrence Howard and Channing Tatum and Flaco Navaja and Michael Rivera. Female: Pretty good reason. Flaco Navaja: That’s all enough. That’s enough for you to see it. Michael Rivera: It’s great. It’s got Channing Tatum, he’s a rising star. Terrence Howard is one of the best actors out there. I’m in it, I’m up and coming and I feel pretty good about myself and it’s a great movie. Great actors, sequences, we got one of coolest directors around Dito Montiel and he’s edgy. Female: You’re going over. Michael Rivera: Yeah, I got—there’s so many reason. Ten seconds is not enough. Female: So what lessons can we take from this movie in putting to our lives? Brian White That we can and find redemption, you know, I mean it’s about coming out. It’s about resurrecting yourself, finding yourself again when you’ve been beaten down all your life. I think Channing says the best in the trail isn’t never been nothing but by the end of the movie is. And the messages—you know, no matter how dark it gets, we can always find the light. You know, we who really believe in ourselves. And I think in this movie, Channing is the only one that really believes in himself all the way through and that self belief propels in the success and that’s message. Don’t ever give up on yourself. Michael Rivera: I mean people are going to come to this movie expecting it to be solely about fighting and a lot of it is about physical fighting but I think the movie also shows the side—or depicts a side of fighting that we all go through a fight with life. We’re fighting to get by. We’re fighting to get the things that we need or accomplish things that we want to accomplish, so I think it’s going to show the struggle because we as a country as a universe right now struggling, so I think it’s going to depict that and just believe in your dreams and keep going forward and only good things can happen when you do that. Zulay Henao: I think the biggest lesson and I think that the underlying lesson here is that—you know, we’ve all made mistakes and we’ve all been in very low places but it’s never too late to get right back up in that moment that you’re in and just start all over again. It’s never too late for that. At any age regardless of the mistakes you’ve made and where you maybe it’s always a perfect time to start all over again and just do things with conviction and just follow your dreams and follow your heart. Flaco Navaja: Don’t get into fist fights of big dudes. It might hurt. Female: You’re tackling here is some dreams that worth to fight, you have a dream that you feel is worth to fight? Flaco Navaja: I’m fighting for it right now. Female: And what is that? Flaco Navaja: It’s to be a successful artist and to be respective from my work. Zulay Henao: You know what; I’m living my dreams honestly. I’m living my dreams then I think just live life with conviction and live my life to my fullest potential and that’s all I can really hope and endure for and I’m going to do that.
