Video Interview: Paul Giamatti On Shoot 'Em Up
By Carolina Korth on August 24, 2007
Paul Giamatti has been catching movie lovers' attention for years as an array of zany, neurotic and otherwise bizarre characters in many of his past roles, and this movie gives him the opportunity to push the envelope even further as one of the most unconventional mafioso villains to hit the screen. An extremely funny guy, hear why finger-breaking drew him in to his role in
Shoot 'Em Up.
Check out our exclusive video interview above.
A lonely outsider (Clive Owen) living in the shadows of his tragic past, rescues a baby from certain death and finds himself embroiled in a nefarious government plot. En route, he “hooks up” with a prostitute (Monica Bellucci) who specializes in lactation fantasies and who will help him feed and take care of the orphan child. Together they take on the trigger happy gangster politicians (Paul Giamatti, Stephen McHattie), and in a cinematic homage to Serge Leone, John Woo, Jean Pierre Melville shoot ‘em up’s, they bring down the Government and save the day. In the wreckage they find they have accidentally created their own little fractured yet functioning family.
Shoot 'Em Up Opens Sept 7th
