00:00Congratulations on this movie! What was it about this movie where you were like...
00:05I have to make this? And what about Kurosawa inspired you?
00:08Well, I became a...
00:10A student of Kurosawa was an NYU grad of film school. That's why I saw Raj Sharma...
00:15That's why I saw many of the samurai films. That's why it's so high and low.
00:20So Denzel was the one. He had...
00:25He got in the property and he sent it to me. He said,
00:27Flake, read the script. If you like it, let's go.
00:30I read it right away, called him up. I think the next day I said, let's go.
00:35It happened like that.
00:36You said that this is your last possible team up with Denzel.
00:40Why 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...
00:50Film of a dynamic duo, D and Lee.
00:54Well, this was a...
00:55A 19-year hiatus. So what was this reunion like?
00:58I don't know.
01:00I did not know it was 19 years. Journalists told me. I did not know it was...
01:05It's been that long. What was his homecoming like?
01:10It's been great. And Friday the world gets to see it.
01:15The tagline of this movie is, all money ain't good money. What would be an example of that?
01:20Bad money.
01:21Quote, unquote.
01:25Take it away. Take it away.
01:26I do not have to tell the audience what the tagline is.
01:30The tagline. Which is...
01:35The tagline, all money ain't good money.
01:38We know what that is.
01:40And we know that sometimes in life we have to make that choice.
01:45And hopefully we make the right choice.
