1/13/2017

'SLEEPLESS' IS THE ACTION THRILLER OF THE SEASON

If you're looking for a heart pumping, entertaining, humorous, and thrilling action film, Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan have you covered. Sleepless is that one film you sat down next to your dad when you were in your teens that had you ad the edge of your seat. 
We got to sit with the stars and director of this action thriller. They all share one thought, 'it was a lot of fun and tiring.' 
​
Director Baran bo Odar, who is working in the states for the first time tells us he's adapting a few skills he learned here in the U.S., especially discipline. Something he says he admires from the actors, including Jamie Foxx.

“It’s very positive-challenging because he's such an entertainer.” Even when he’s tired he still works hard and finds energy. “I think even in his sleep he would entertain himself,” jokes Baran. “Once you actually say action, he’s so focused and he's totally into the role.” ​​

Spoilers aside, Dermot Mulroney plays casino owner Stanley Rubino. A  bad guy who’s not hard to empathize with and Scoot McNairy is Novak. Someone who in comparison to Rubino (Dermot Mulroney), you won't find much empathy for. On working with Scoot. “I think he’s one of the best actors of his generation. He’s so good.”

Michelle, who admits the role was unlike other jobs she's taken on and was very excited. “ [I] trained really intensely for a couple of months.” She admits, “I did actually connect with his face and chipped his tooth unfortunately. But it was a lot fun.” To that Jamie Foxx adds, “She did clock me in the tooth, which is actually not my tooth. This is all porcelain.” Leave it to Jamie to take care of things. Conveniently his 'best friend is a dentist'. Michelle remembers, “The next day I was trying to sneak a peak and i look at it, I’m like ‘It’s fine. did he grow his tooth back!” In between laughs, the two gracefully say they had a good time shooting the film and agree the surrounding cast was a lot of fun. These include, Gabrielle Union as Dena (Vincent’s wife), Tim Connolly as McFerrin, T.I. as Sean Cass, and David Harbour as Doug Dennison.

Sleepless opens in theaters on Friday, January 13th.

    "Live"

    by Jessica G Ferrer
    Think of the painted lady.
    Its short lived life is colorful, 
    It's bright.
    Unless interrupted, it carries on. 
    It flies... 
    ​
    Fulfilling its one and only short lived life. "
