Hit and Run - Q&A with director/screenwriter/actor Dax Shepard & actor Kristen Bell at Bonnaroo 2012

Quote:

The film (Brother’s Justice)seems to cover a period of about 2006-2009; I’m curious, why doesn’t Kristen [Bell] make an appearance?
We had shot the first and second act prior to Kristen being in my life, so by the time we shot the third act there was really no place for her. But she is the star of the movie I’m directing in June.

Can you tell me more about that project?
It’s currently called Outrun, I don’t know if that will stay; it’s like a Sundance version of Smokey and the Bandit, a car chase movie. A low-budget car chase movie. All my friends are in it, all of the same group of guys who were in Brother’s Justice are in it.

Quote:

“In real life I race cars. I race off road and I race motorcycles, so there is a part of me that fully believes that I should be in a car chase movie – which is why I'm directing one in June," he reveals. "It's called 'Outrun' and it's a car chase movie with Kristen Bell and I as the leads, and then Tom and Bradley and Dave Koechner are coming back. We have an amazing cast of people that have agreed to come be a part of it again, shockingly. This one is fully scripted and is, at the end of the day, an action movie.”

Shepard says his next film is an expression of his love of rubber-burning 70s flicks. “I just love Hal Needham, who did 'Hooper' and the 'Cannonball Runs' and 'Smokey and the Bandit,'” he says, “and there's a hillbilly in me that wants to move quick, take risks and do cool *****. Half the cars in the movie I own. I have a 1967 Lincoln Continental, but it has a 700 horsepower 514 in it. It's got coil over suspension and huge disc brakes – basically a racecar Lincoln, and that'll be in the movie a lot. Then I also have a Class One off-road racecar that'll also be in the movie.”

He’s also thrilled to co-starring alongside his off-screen fiancé Bell. “It's wonderful – we love being together and we love acting together and I'm really excited that we're going to do a movie playing a couple, and I think we'll get to do ***** that two strangers can't do. We'll have a level of intimacy that will hopefully be palpable. She just said we're like Ron and Sheila from 'Waiting For Guffman'.”

“What's more fun than acting with KB is writing for her because you can't imagine how much freedom you can have as a writer,” he says. “You can write her a scene out of 'Sophie's Choice' and she can do it. Then you can write her a scene with a lot of comedic heavy lifting and she can do it. That's crazy liberating as a writer. I can't even write for myself that way – I have to know my own limitations.”

cannot wait for moer stuff!

yes, me too. i think the red band trailer will be awesome when it arrives.

i'm quite intrigued by the negative skewed (or indifferent) responses by lots of the sites and the comments i've been reading on them. sure not everybody has to like it - that would be crazy, but the amount of haters has surprised me. meh - oh well.

maybe i'm just too positively biased - but i really thought it was pretty funny.

here's some of the more positive skewed ones:

yeah, a lot of people seem to have taken offense to the prison joke. i can understand where they are coming from, but i am also of the belief that a lot of people are becoming too serious about everything. there's always something to complain about.

**Mason30** · 05-16-2012, 01:29 AM

yup. that does seem to have been quite the talking point.
(for me though, i thought it was more of a shout out to 'let's go to prison' then anything else - although not many people watched that - and to be honest deservedly so.)

also, lots have said that the trailer is all over the place - what the hell are you wanting people? nobody (pretty much but us) knew this movie existed until 5 minutes ago, they need to show you a bit of everything otherwise how will you know what it's about?

i agree with you on the seriousness stuff, that's actually been my opinion for a while now too.

it just feels like people no longer think it's acceptable to have a bit of fun, or certainly not without there being some intellectual property behind it.
i say, just sit back and enjoy the ride for god's sakes - you'll be happier. sigh.

Summer movies tend to fall into two categories: tent pole franchise blockbusters and wishful thinking rom-coms. Every year there is that surprise sleeper hit that audiences fall in love with and if the trailer is any indication of the possibility in store, then year’s winner could be Hit and Run. Directed by David Palmer, Run stars Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper, Kristin Chenoweth, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville), Beau Bridges, Joy Bryant (Parenthood), and Tom Arnold.
