For an actor, there can be few things more tedious than the obligatory promotional tour to promote a movie, which is presumably why when Eckhart, Bassett, Gerard Butler , and director Antoine Fuqua gave interviews in Washington yesterday, they spent more time discussing the oddities of filmmaking than they did the movie (it's hard not to imagine they've already given the same answers several hundred times already). For example: Morgan Freeman sings old-school top-40 hits between takes.
Eckhart wants a role where he can be “in the gutter with a prostitute.”
Butler was sweating so much during filming in the 115-degree weather in Shreveport, Louisiana, Fuqua said, it looked like he'd taken a shower fully clothed.
Butler's firsthand experience with Washington is mostly limited to 2009, when he overslept (“which is not unusual for me”) and missed his access to the VIP seats for Obama's inauguration, ending up watching the event by the Washington Monument with three or four people behind him and several million blocking his view of the President.
Butler, resplendent in an angora-soft dark blue sweater, flitted back and forth between Celtic charmer (at one point, he actually pouted) and maniacal film fanatic (don't forget he was one of the producers on Olympus ).
Fuqua (Training Day, Brooklyn’s Finest) hopes it pays homage to his and Butler’s shared favorite film: Apocalypse Now. “That film is inspirational because it has no CGI,” he said. “It’s so beautiful—it’s the Heart of Darkness, it’s Joseph Campbell. It’s the hero going up the river and finding that place, and then having to return, only he’s changed. [Gerard’s] character is very similar. He has to go through hellfire, back into the belly of the beast. It’s the classic hero’s journey.”

As for the almost-identical movie coming out in July, White House Down? Bassett and Eckhart were noncommittal. “When does that come out?” Bassett asked. “Who’s in it?” When told the answer is Channing Tatum, she looked nonplussed. “Is it a comedy?”
“Whoa,” said Eckhart in mock horror. “I’m not here, okay?” But he did have some insight to offer into why so many similarly themed movies come out in pairs. “It’s the collective unconscious. It’s the penguins across the ocean who have the same thoughts as the other penguins.
We’re all penguins in Hollywood.”
