WHO THIS GUY IS AND WHY WAS HE
SHOOTING AT YOU?
>> OH, YOU.
HE WAS SHOOTING AT YOU.

>> YOUR FILE SAYS YOU ARE A
SYSTEMS ENGINEER ON THE CALISTO
PROJECT.
>> YOU KNOW ABOUT CALISTO?
>> WE KNOW ABOUT A LOT OF
THINGS.
THAT YOU GRADUATED FROM THE TOP
OF YOUR CLASS AT MITT.
YOU THINK YELLOW IS ONE OF YOUR
COLORS WHEN IN FACT IT IS NO
ONE'S.
YOU COULD BE DATING A LOT MORE
IF YOU PLAYED UP THOSE CHEEK
BONES ON YOUR ONLINE PROFILE
PICTURES.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW IS WHY
SOMEONE WANTS YOU DEAD.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME

 ( APPLAUSE )
>> HI!
HI!
WOW!

HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU'RE
ALL BEAUTIFUL.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THAT IS ALL OF
SHOW BUSINESS IN ONE SENTENCE.
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: AND ARE YOU
BEAUTIFUL AS WELL.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: IT'S A PLEASURE TO
HAVE YOU HERE.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS
YOU AS AN ACTRESS AND A VERY
TALENTED ONE AT THAT THAT.
BUT YOU DO IT ALL, BABY.
YOU PRODUCE, YOU DIRECT, YOU
WRITE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE ALWAYS
WANTED TO, LIKE, BE BEHIND THE
SCENES?
>> I CAME TO IT GRADUALLY.
YOU KNOW, I DIRECTED PLAYS IN
COLLEGE.
IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING
I SORT OF DID.
>> Stephen: ANYTHING I'D KNOW?
>> I DIRECTED-- WHAT DIDIRECT?
I DIRECTED SOME STOPPARD PLAYS
BACK IN THE DAY.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I EVEN MET TOM ONCE.
>> Stephen: GET OUT.
>> HE'S MY MICK JAGGER.
>> Stephen: ROSENSTERN?
>> YES, THEY'RE DEAD, BY THE
WAY.
THIS IS THE DO,IEST CONVERSATION
I HAVE EVER HAD ON A TALK SHOW
AND I LOVE IT.
>> Stephen: IT GETS DAMN
DORKY, GIRL.
IT GETS DORKY-KONG.
>> I CAME TO IT GRADUALLY.
I REALLY FOUND THAT I WAS A
LITTLE DISILLUSIONED AS AN
ACTRESS.
AND I GOT SOME GREAT ADVICE FROM
FELLOW ACTRESSES WHO SORT OF
WARNED ME ABOUT THE INDUSTRY.
AND I REALLY JUST LOOKED AROUND
AND FELT LIKE THE SYSTEM WAS
KIND OF RIGGED AGAINST ME A
LITTLE BIT.
AND I WANTED TO GET IN THERE AND
DIG AROUND IN THE SYSTEM.
>> Stephen: WAS THERE A
PARTICULAR, LIKE, MOVIE YOU DID,
AND YOU WENT, "OKAY, THIS IS
INSPIRING ME TO ACTUALLY GET
BEHIND THE CAMERA OR DIRECT?"
>> WOULDN'T SAY-- IT WAS MORE
ABOUT THE MOVIES THAT WEREN'T
HAPPENING, RIGHT, OR THE STHARS
WEREN'T GETTING TOLD.
AND I DO REMEMBER I WAS PLAYING
AN ELF IN FRED CLAUSE.
>> Stephen: SANTA CLAUS'
BROTHER.
>> IT'S A CLASSIC STORY.
>> VERY CLASSIC.
I WAS WORKING WITH JOHN MICHAEL
HIGGINS WHO BECAME MY COSTAR IN
"PITCH PERFECT."
AND I WAS STUFFING, LIKE, FAKE
BOOBS ON EVERY MORNING AT 5:00
A.M. AND GOING TO SET WAY BUNCH
OF RUSSIAN LITTLE PEOPLE THAT
THEY HAD HIRED TO PLAY THE
ELVES.
AND I JUST LOOKED AROUND AND
THOUGHT, MAYBE I HAVE MORE TO
OFFER?
I DON'T KNOW.
 (  LAUGHTER  )
MAYBE.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T KNOW.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: WELL, A LOT--
>> I COULDN'T-- IT FELT LIKE IT
COULD GET BETTER THAN THAT,
MAYBE.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.
>> I MEAN, IT WAS VERY FUN.
BY THE WAY, THE NORTH POLE SETS
WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SET I
EVER WORKED ON.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> YEAH...
>> Stephen: AND EVERY YEAR
FAMILIES GATHER AROUND
TOGETHER--
>> THEY GATHER AROUND, IT'S A
REAL CLASSIC, YEAH, HOLIDAY
FILM.
>> Stephen: OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS
A REBOOT OF A CLASSIC IN AND OF
ITSELF.
>> A CONTINUATION.
>> Stephen: OKAY, A
CONTINUATION, OKAY, OF THE
"CHARLIE'S ANGELS" UNIVERSE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THE COSMOLOGY AND
TIME CONTINUUM.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHY DID YOU WANT
TO DO "CHARLIE'S ANGELS"?
WHY WAS THAT THE THING-- WHY DO
THAT IN 2019?
>> 2019, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE
TRYING TIMES.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICE
GLD YEAH, SURE.
I READ THE PAPERS.
>> I-- I WANTED TO MAKE A MOVIE
THAT CELEBRATED WOMEN AT WORK.
WHEN I WATCHED THE ORIGINAL OF
ORIGINAL SHOW, I THOUGHT THOSE
ARE PROFESSIONAL WOMEN.
THAT'S A JOB THAT LADIES GET TO
DO!
YOU KNOW.
AND THEY, LIKE, LOOKED
INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: THAT WAS-- THAT
WAS-- THAT WAS YOUR VERSION OF
"BRING YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK?"
"WE COULD BE LIKE SUPER-SEXY
SPIES."
>> YES!
TRULY!
I WAS LIKE WHY AREN'T WE ALL
SUPER-SEXY SPIES ALL THE TIME.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> I WAS VERY INSPIRED.
>> Stephen: SO WHO WAS YOUR
FAVORITE.
I'LL TELL YOU MINE.
I'LL SAY MINE.
ONE, TWO, THREE--
>> KATE JACKSON.
>> Stephen: KATE JACKSON.
HONEST TO GOD.
KATE JACKSON.
>> SHE WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S IT RIGHT
THERE.
>> AND ACTUALLY KIRSTEN
STEWART'S CHARACTER IS SORT OF
NAMED PARTLY FOR HER CHARACTER
FROM THE ORIGINAL IN THE NEW
"CHARLIE'S ANGELS."
I FELT LIKE THE D.N.A. OF
"CHARLIE'S ANGELS" IS ABOUT
SISTERHOOD, CAMARADERIE, WORKING
TOGETHER, BELIEVING WOMEN,
SUPPORTING WOMEN.
BUT, ALSO, IT'S SUPER
ENTERTAINING FOR EVERYBODY.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
I WANTED TO WORK ON AN ACTION
MOVIE AND I WANTED PEOPLE TO GET
REALLY EXPIETD WANTED TO
CELEBRATE LADIES TEAMING UP.
>> Stephen: HERE ARE YOUR NEW
ANGELS.
 KIRSTEN STEWART, ELLA BALINSKA,
AND NAOMI SCOTT.
I ASSUMED YOU WERE AN ANGEL WHEN
I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE EXPRCT
FOUND OUT YOU ARE IN IT.
YOU ARE NOT BOSLEY, YOU ARE A
BOSLEY.
>> I AM A FORMER ANGEL, AND
BOSLEY --
>> Stephen: IN THE REALITY OF
IT YOU GO FROM AN ANGEL AND MOVE
ON TO BEING A BOSLEY.
>> I GOT PROMOTED.
I FELT ONE OF THE MESSAGES IN
MERCHANT SHOULD BE WHEN YOU TURN
40 WE DON'T KICK YOU OUT.
>> Stephen: THEY MAKE YOU THE
BOSS.
>> BECAUSE IT'S "CHARLIE'S
ANGELS."
 ( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: YOU'RE AN
ARCHANGEL NOW.
>> YEAH.
THE HISTORY OF IT, THROUGHOUT
THE TV SHOWS AND THE FILMS,
EVERY ANGEL HAD THEIR OWN
CHARACTER, THEIR OWN IDENTITY.
BUT BOSLEY WAS ALWAYS SOMEONE
ELSE.
IT WAS PLAYED IN THE TWO FILMS
BY TWO DIFFERENT ACTORS, PLAYED
ON THE TV SHOW BY TWO DIFFERENT
ACTORS.
AND I DON'T KNOW, I FELT WE
SHOULD MAKE THAT SPECIAL.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE BOSLEY S.
>> Stephen:  AND THEY'RE DAMN
FINE BOSLEYS, TOO.
PATRICK STEWART, ELIZABETH
BANKS.
OF COURSE, THIS GUY FROM
"GARDENS OF THE GALAXY" IF
NOWHERE ELSE.
AND OF COURSE THE LEGENDARY, THE
MAN HIMSELF, SIR PATRICK
STEWART.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO DIRECT
PATRICK STEWART?
>> OH IT WAS A DELIGHT.
UN, HE-- I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER HIS FAMOUS ROLE AS
POOP EMOJI IN THE EMOJI MOVIE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE.
>> THAT TO ME IS REALLY, LIKE,
THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS CAREER.
AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT HIM IS
THAT HE DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING
TOO SERIOUSLY, RIGHT?
LIKE, HE IS GAME FOR ANYTHING.
AND THIS IS A MOVIE WHERE ALL
THE CHARACTERS ARE REALLY GAME,
AND WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF FUN,
AND I JUST KNEW HE WOULD COME
AND BRING THAT ENERGY TO THE
SET.
THE POOP EMOJI ENERGY THAT I WAS
LOOKING FOR.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
ALL LOOKING FOR AT A CERTAIN
LEVEL.
>> HE'S FROM THE THEATER.
I STARTED IN THEATER.
WE HAD A LOT IN COMMON.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> AND I COULDN'T BE MORE
RESPECTFUL OF HIS ENTIRE CAREER.
>> Stephen: HIS UBRA.
>> HIS UBRA.
>> I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY IT.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A SAFE
UBRASPACE.
>> I GET IT NOW.
I'M LEARNING AS WE GO.
>> Stephen: I'M A LITTLE
OBSESSED WITH THE MUSICAL "JESUS
CHRIST SUPERSTAR."
I'M TOTALLY NOT RIGHT FOR THE
PART BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY
JUDAS.
>> SURE, SURE.
>>
♪ MY MIND IS CLEARER NOW ♪
WHO DID YOU PLAY?
WHEN WAS?
>> I PLAYED PONTIUS PILOT IF
"JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR."
>> Stephen: THAT'S ALSO OFF
CHOICE.
>> MARY MAGDELIN, IS PROBABLY
WHERE YOUR MIND WENT.
I BROKE MY LEG SLIDING INTO
BASE-- I WAS SPORTY.
>> Stephen: IN COLLEGE.
>> NO HIGH SCHOOL, EIGHTH GRADE
GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL.
I SANG IN THE CHOIR FOR A WHILE.
AND I GOT PLUCKED OUT OF MY
SOFTBALL TEAM AND THROWN INTO
THE MUSICAL "JESUS CHRIST
SUPERSTAR" BECAUSE I WOULD WEAR
A ROBE OVER MY WALKING CAST AT
THE TIME.
THAT'S WHY I WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO
PLAY PONTIUS PILOT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU STILL HAVE
A SONG THAT COMES BACK.
>> "PILOT'S DREAM."
♪ I DREAMED I MET A GAL LAILIAN.
THE HUNTED, HUNTED KIND
♪ I ASKED HIM TO SAY WHAT HAD
HAPPENED
♪ HOW IT ALL BEGAN ♪
SEE WE HAVE TO HARMONIZE
♪ HE BARELY SAID A WORD.
AS IF HE HADN'T HEARD ♪
YES!
>> Stephen:
♪ AND THEN THE ROOM ♪
>> ONLY YOU.
>> Stephen: SO FUN.
>> YOU GOT ME TO SING.
>> Stephen: WE CAN DORK OUT,
BABY.
"CHARLIE'S ANGELS" IS IN
THEATERS NEXT FRIDAY.
