00:00Congratulations on this movie!

00:02What was it about this movie where you were like, I have to make this?

00:06And what about Kurosawa inspired you?

00:08Well, I became a student of Kurosawa while I was an NYU graduate film school.

00:13That's why I saw Raj Shimon.

00:15That's why I saw many of those samurai films.

00:18That's why I saw High and Low.

00:20So Denzel was the one.

00:23He had gotten the property and he sent it to me.

00:27He said, Spike, read the script, if you like it, let's go.

00:30I read it right away, called him up, I think the next day he said, let's go.

00:35It happened like that.

00:36You said that this is your last possible team up with Denzel, why is that?

00:41I said that before but I got my mind right.

00:45I'm open to work with Denzel Washington and this not be the last film of a dynamic duo,

00:53D and Lee.

00:54Well, this was a 19 year hiatus.

00:56So what was this reunion like?

00:59I did not know it was 19 years.

01:02The journalists told me.

01:03I did not know it was 19 years.

01:06It's been that long.

01:07What was this homecoming like?

01:09It's been great.

01:11And Friday the world gets to see it.

01:14Finally, the tagline of this movie is, all money ain't good money.

01:18What would be an example of that, or bad money, quote unquote?

01:25Take it away.

01:26Take it away.

01:27Take it away.

01:28I do not have to tell the audience what the tagline, which is the tagline, all money ain't good money.

01:38We know what that is, and we know that sometimes in life we have to make that choice, and hopefully

01:45we make the right choice.

01:46We know that it is so important.

01:48You're right.

01:49You're right.

01:50I'm sorry.

01:51You're right.

01:52You're right.

01:53You're right.
