00:00Now it's a sit down with Scott Eastwood.
00:01Hi, Scott.
00:02Your new movie, Lucky Strike, hits theaters
00:05everywhere tomorrow.
00:06On a scale of 1 to 10, how nervous are you
00:08when a project is being released and you're the star?
00:11I'm not really nervous, but I'm like, you know,
00:14you kind of hope it does, like, well.
00:16Now, there's so many elements, right?
00:18What's happening in the world, what time it is,
00:21what other movies it's going up against.
00:23Like, is it getting a ton of money by a studio?
00:26You know, there's, like, so many elements to make
00:29something become successful.
00:31You just kind of got to let the universe do what it does.
00:36This film takes place during World War II,
00:38so walk us through your research process.
00:40What makes it click the most for you
00:41when you need to feel that personal connection
00:43to a character or a time period?
00:45This movie in particular is different in the sense that,
00:49one, it's a true story.
00:51Two, I had also done, in Flags Our Fathers, I had done
00:55Fury with Brad Pitt and David Ayer.
00:58Now I've done Lucky Strike.
01:01So I was, I'm very well versed in the world,
01:06the time, the research.
01:08And this character wasn't, he wasn't a rookie.
01:11You know, he was, he had been there, done that.
01:13He had done other tours.
01:15So it was kind of like I had just carried
01:18those lived experiences, making those other movies,
01:20into this movie.
01:22Colin Hanks is also in this movie.
01:24So we got to ask, did any famous dads visit set?
01:27There were none.
01:29None.
01:31Imagine they were probably shooting their own movies.
01:33It's better that way.
01:34I don't want that.
01:35I don't want Tom Hanks showing up.
01:38I don't want that kind of pressure.
01:40That's my mission.
01:41You know, the business in itself, I think, is kind of,
01:45it's sort of, it doesn't matter really who you are.
01:47It just matters, can you do the job to people like you,
01:50to people like working with you.
01:52And then there's a certain amount of luck and like sort
01:54of lightening your writing to get from job to job, really.
02:01You've been acting for two decades now.
02:03I'm so curious what your perspective was like back then
02:06compared to now.
02:07The way I look at the business now, I mean,
02:09I'm much more pragmatic.
02:11I think when I was younger, I used to think, you know,
02:14you had to endure more pain to get a performance across.
02:18And now I just think you just, you know,
02:20you just do the work and prep it as best you can.
02:23Then you go out and have fun and you try to enjoy these
02:27experiences you have.
02:28And hopefully at the same time, you try to, you know,
02:31make sure everybody else on set's having a good time as well.
02:34To wrap up, we're going to put 10 seconds on the clock.
02:37Tell everyone why they should check out Lucky Strike.
02:39Ready? Go.
02:40You got to see this one in theaters.
02:43World War II, how many more are we going to make?
