Crowe News 2013

February 28

aintitcool: Ray Winstone talks about Noah and Russell - "RW: I play Tubal-Cain [Noah's brother-in-law], who is supposedly the bad guy, but I kind of look at him as being the good guy really. He made a lot of sense to me, but that’s just me. I had a great time, Russell Crowe was a pleasure to work with, and I enjoyed Darren Aronofsky. He’s a very, very clever man.  It’s great working with someone like Russell, because Russell really knows his stuff as well. I remember sitting on the set looking to Russell thinking, “Do you know I’ve never seen him bad in a movie” and that’s right; I’ve never seen him bad in a movie. He’s always, very, very good in the films he’s in, and then you realize when you're working with him why that true--he’s such a pro. He’s bang on it. So when he goes to work, he knows what he’s going to do. He works it all out, and it was a pleasure to work with him." - Thanks, Kathy C
