WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THIS.
I THINK WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED
ABOUT OUR NEXT GUEST HERE,
JOINING ME ON SET.
YOU MAY RECALL, A TERRORIST --
A TRAINED AMERICAN HEROES IN
2018.
THREE MEN, ORIGINALLY FROM THE
SACRAMENTO AREA, PUT THEIR
LIVES ON THE LINE AND THWARTED
AN ATTEMPTED TERROR ATTACK ON A
PARIS-BOUND TRAIN.
NOW, THEY'RE WAITING TO
PREMIERE, THE CLINT EASTWOOD-
DIRECTED FILM, BASED ON THEIR
STORY.
IT'S CALLED THE 1517 TO PARIS.
JOINING US NOW TO TALK ABOUT IT
ARE THE HEROES THEMSELVES,
ANTHONY SADLER, ALEX SCARLOTOS
AND SPENCER STONE.
GENTLEMEN, WHAT'S UP.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
FANTASTIC.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE
LONDON FOG TRENCHCOAT?
2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WE TWEET ALL THE TIME.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME, GETTING
TO CHANCE TO SPENCER AND ALEX,
THOUGH.
HE TOLD YOU HOW FUN IT IS,
RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ]
HE WAS BACK ON YOU GUYS.
NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE MILITARY MEN.
I SPENT A COUPLE OF YEARS IN
THE ARMY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED
SERVICE AS WELL.
ALEC, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M GOOD.
I ACTUALLY GOT OUT IN NOVEMBER.
SO I'M ENJOYING MY FREEDOM.
AND DOING A WHOLE LOT OF THIS.
ARE YOU STILL DANCING.
I AM RETIRED FROM THAT.
THEY'RE IN A DISPLAY CASE, WITH
THE SHOES I WAS WEARING ON THE
TRAIN.
AND THE KOBES WE GOT.
YEAH.
AND NOW YOU GUYS HAVE ADDED TO
YOUR RESUME: ACTOR.
I THINK IT WAS YOU THAT SAID,
WHAT DO YOU DO?
AND YOU SAID, ACTOR, QUESTION
MARK?
[ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH.
I MEAN, WOW.
SO THE CLINT EASTWOOD MOVIE.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING
YOURSELVES.
ARE YOU STILL PINCHING
YOURSELVES THAT YOU WERE IN A
MOVIE, DIRECTED BY CLINT
EASTWOOD, BY YOURSELVES?
YEAH.
IT'S STILL NOT REAL.
WE SHOT IT AND HAVE SEEN IT.
BUT I KNOW FOR ALL THREE OF US,
THIS IS UNREAL.
IT'S LIKE YOU SAY IT, AND
WE'VE SEEN IT AND WE LIVED IT.
BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF IT,
WE'RE LIKE, NAH, WE MUST HAVE
DIED ON THE TRAIN TWO YEARS
AGO.
RIGHT?
THIS IS WHAT HEAVEN IS LIKE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I WANT TO GET INTO THE
PROCESS.
I HEARD THAT CLINT EASTWOOD'S
PROCESS IS VERY, VERY
INTERESTING.
I MUST IMAGINE IT MUST HAVE
BEEN INTIMIDATING FOR YOU GUYS,
WITH NO DISRESPECT, -- TO BE ON
THE SET WITH REAL ACTORS WHO
HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG
TIME.
CLINT EASTWOOD HAS BEEN DOING
THIS LONGER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN
ALIVE.
HE'S AN ICON FOR SURE.
IT WAS NERVE-RACKING FOR ME, MY
FIRST SCENE.
BUT HE HONESTLY CREATES A VERY
CHILL, RELAXED ENVIRONMENT.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
WORKING FOR HIM, HAVE BEEN
WORKING FOR HIM FOR 20-PLUS
YEARS.
SO EVERYONE IS A PROFESSIONAL.
EVERYONE IS ON POINT AND KNOWS
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THEY'RE JOKING WITH YOU.
SO IT'S NOT A TENSE
ENVIRONMENT.
SO I THINK ALL OF US WERE
PRETTY NERVOUS FOR OUR FIRST
SCENES.
BUT ONCE THINGS GOT GOING, WE
ALL GOT COMFORTABLE PRETTY
FAST.
MOST DEFINITELY.
IT'S AN INTIMIDATING PROCESS,
WORKING WITH CLINT EASTWOOD.
BUT ONCE YOU GET ON SET AND
FIND OUT, LIKE HOW DOWN-TO-
EARTH HE IS.
HE MAKES IT A CHILL ENVIRONMENT
FOR SURE.
I SAW A PIECE OF VIDEO FROM
BEHIND THE SCENES, WHERE HE
KEPT SAYING, HE WAS LOOKING AT
WHO HE WAS GOING TO CAST TO
PLAY YOU.
AND HE SAID, HE KEPT GOING BACK
TO THEM.
AND HE SAID, WHO IS GOING TO
PLAY THEM BETTER?
AND HE SAID, THEY HAVE A GIFT.
YOU WERE COMPLIMENTED BY HIM.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
I'M CURIOUS.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU TO GO
BACK AND GO THROUGH ALL OF
THIS?
YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LOT OF
FUN, HONESTLY.
REALLY?
YEAH.
PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, DOES
IT BRING UP BAD MEMORIES?
FOR ALL OF US, IT'S A GOOD
MEMORY.
AND THANKFULLY, NO ONE DIED
THAT DAY.
AND SO WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT
TELLING THE STORY.
AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S A
POSITIVE STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE
TOLD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
EVENTS THAT ARE GOING ON NOW.
AND SO -- BUT I MEAN, THERE WAS
TIMES WHERE WE WOULD GO BACK.
BECAUSE THEY WOULD MAKE THINGS
SO REAL AND AUTHENTIC TO HOW IT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
AND WE WOULD HAVE LITTLE
MOMENTS OF JUST LIKE DEJA VU.
WERE THERE MOMENTS, ALEC,
WHEN YOU GUYS WERE LIKE, NO,
NO, NO, CLINT.
THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED?
I DID THIS.
YOU WOULD HAVE LICENSE TO DO
THAT.
BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR STORY.
ACTUALLY, THOUGH, THEY
DIDN'T EVEN REALLY HAVE -- WE
DIDN'T EVEN REALLY HAVE TO.
BECAUSE THEY INVOLVED US FROM
DAY 1 WITH THE SCRIPT.
SO WE MADE CORRECTIONS.
SO BY THE TIME WE GOT ON SET
AND WERE FILMING, THEY HAD
EVERYTHING DOWN SO WELL.
BUT IF THERE WAS EVER
SOMETHING, ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS
DROP A LITTLE HINT TO CLINT AND
HE'D BE LIKE, ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL JUST DO IT HOW YOU DID
IT.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID ALL THE
TIME.
SO THAT'S HOW WE DID IT.
YEAH.
WE HAD FULL REIGN.
IF NOTHING ELSE, IT WILL BE
ACCURATE.
RIGHT?
EXACTLY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO YOU GUYS ARE BACK IN
TOWN.
GOING OVER THERE TO HOPEFULLY
CATCH THE HOLY SPIRIT, SHILOH
BAPTIST, RIGHT?
SPECIALOUT -- SHOUTOUT.
WITH YOUR FATHER.
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PLACES YOU
GUYS WENT WHEN YOU CAME BACK
HOME, RIGHT?
YEAH.
I HAD INITIALLY GONE BACK
THERE.
AND IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
TIMES THAT SACRAMENTO WAS ABLE
TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF US.
IT WAS JUST A GOOD PLACE TO
KIND OF WIND DOWN ASK GET OUR
HOMETOWN SPIRITS BACK.
SO HOPEFULLY, BEFORE WE EMBARK
ON THIS JOURNEY, WILL HAVE A
GOOD SERVICE SUNDAY.
ABSOLUTELY.
ST. LOUIS.
DO YOU HAVE -- ABSOLUTELY.
DO YOU HAVE THE ACTING BUG
AFTER THIS.
I THINK WE DO.
WE'RE TAKING ACTING CLASSES.
HOPEFULLY IT ALL WORKS OUT.
WE'RE GOING FULL HOLLYWOOD.
FULL FULL HOLLYWOOD, DANGA.
WE WATCH MOVIES, RIGHT?
BUT WAS THERE ANYTHING THAT
SURPRISED YOU, FROM BEING IN IT
AND IN THE HOLLYWOOD SCENE?
YEAH.
HONESTLY, JUST HOW MUCH WORK
GOES INTO IT.
LIKE THE SMALLEST DETAILS.
THEY HAVE LIKE -- THEY HAD
PEOPLE DIGGING THROUGH OUR
HISTORY, SEEING LIKE WHAT
CLOTHES WE WORE WHEN WE WERE
KIDS.
THEY EVEN GOT LIKE ART FROM OUR
ACTUAL HOUSES TO PUT IN THE
MOVIE.
HOUSES, JUST ALL SORTS OF --
THE TINIEST STUFF, YOU WOULD
NEVER IMAGINE.
IT'S CRAZY HOW MUCH WORK AND
DETAIL THEY PUT INTO IT.
IT'S LIKE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
ON THE PROJECT.
AND IT'S CRAZY, BECAUSE IT'S
OUR PERSONAL STORY, TOO.
SO HE REALLY WANTED TO DO IT
RIGHT AND HAVE IT ACCURATE.
AND THAT MADE IT EASY FOR US TO
ACT FOR OUR FIRST TIMES.
BECAUSE HE IS LIKE, YOU GUYS
ARE WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES.
WE'RE IN THE SAME LOCATION.
ALL I WANT YOU TO DO IS DO IT
HOW YOU DID IT.
MADE IT A SMOOTH PROCESS FOR
US.
THE WHOLE LOGISTICAL SIDE
MADE IT CRAZY TO SEE.
LIKE YOU GUYS ARE WORKING REAL
HARD OVER THERE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
AND I'M HOPING IT'S NOT
INAPPROPRIATE.
BUT I'M WONDERING, DID YOU
WONDER OR DO YOU WONDER AT ANY
POINT, THAT SOME OF THIS FILM
HAS ANY KIND OF PROPAGANDA?
I CONTINUE, CLINT EASTWOOD
COMES WITH THAT REPUTATION
ALREADY.
BUT I KNOW FROM HAVING SEEN THE
FILM, IT'S JUST A HUMAN STORY.
I DIDN'T CATCH ANY ELEMENTS OF
PROPAGANDA AT ALL.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING
WE WEREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH.
WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE PROJECT
AND WE FELT LIKE IT
REPRESENTEDS US TRUTH --
REPRESENTS US TRUTHFULLY.
IT'S OUR FIRST STORY.
IF IT'S PROPAGANDA, IT'S
PROPAGANDA.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S LYING ABOUT
IT.
IT REALLY IS OUR STORY.
THERE'S NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE TO
BE PUSHED.
WE SAW THE TRAILER.
AND BOY, DOES IT GRAB YOU.
I MEAN, IT'S INTENLS.
YEAH -- INTENSE.
WE HOPE THE FULL FILM,
EVERYBODY LIKES IT.
MY FRIEND TOLD ME THE OTHER
DAY, THAT THEY WERE IN THE
MOVIE THEATER.
AND IT PLAYED.
AND EVERYONE IN THE THEATER
STARTED CLAPPING.
SO --
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE DOING THAT
AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, WHEN
THEY'RE ACTUALLY SEEING IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD
ABOUT A LITTLE MOVIE CALLED
"LADY BIRD."
A LOT OF BUZZ GOING ON IN
SACRAMENTO.
HOPE THIS WILL KEEP GOING FOR
YOU.
THAT WILL WORK.
OUR HOMETOWN HEROES, SPENCER
STONE, ANTHONY, ALEX.
WE DEFINITELY GOTTA TAKE A
SELFIE.
OH, YEAH.
TAKE A SELFIE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
STICK AROUND.
OF COURSE, 15 17 TO PARIS --
