Zachary Levi discusses his character Kurt Warner
“I knew it was going to be a challenge to step into the shoes of a Hall of Fame quarterback.”
"I had three-and-a-half months solid of strength and conditioning training, followed by a month-and-a-half of quarterback training,”
“And of course, I had personal time with Kurt Warner. It was important to me to capture the Kurt everyone knows – the football hero – and the Kurt that maybe most people don’t know so well … the guy inside the helmet.”
Academy Award® winner Anna Paquin discusses her character Brenda Warner
“I wanted to be Brenda’s voice and to tell her story.”
“Brenda is a survivor – a Marine who went through some incredible challenges. Brenda has that tough exterior, but she’s the sweetest, kindest human being on the planet. There are a lot of nuances that are hugely important to Brenda that she wanted to make sure came through. I feel really lucky to play her.”
Dennis Quaid discusses his character coach Dick Vermeil
“After Dick left Philadelphia, he took some time off that became 15 years. But Dick was still known for taking losing teams to victory and he spent three years building the Rams, only to have his star quarterback injured. He also spent that time watching and nurturing Kurt Warner and he took a chance on him, the same kind of chance he took when he joined the Rams."

What it really means to be a father, It's extraordinary. Catherine Cyr - Executive Producer What I learned about Sidney was that he was willing to make sacrifices, that most people would find unconscionable whether that was money or security or ways to make his career boom. He would sacrifice all of that by sticking to what he knew was right. Cher He was very shy. I must not be the first person to tell you that. We got him to come to some barbecues. I have a couple of stories, but I'm going to put them in my book. Dennis Haysbert I knew very earl

I Like Movies VHS Forever Mongrel Media Release date September 9, 2022 (TIFF) SYNOPSIS Toronto writer/director Chandler Levack makes her feature film debut with I Like Movies, a dramedy based on her experience working at a Blockbuster Video in the early 2000s. Socially inept, Lawrence (Isaiah Lehtinen) is a 17-year-old cinephile who gets a job at the Sequels video store in Burlington, Ontario. Anxious about his future (and desire to attend NYU’s Tisch School of Arts), Lawrence begins alienating the most important people in his life – his best friend (Percy Hynes White) and his single mother (Krista Bridges) – all the while developing a complicated friendship with his older female manager (Romina D’Ugo). Sequels is furnished with props from a real Blockbuster, while the store’s branded colour scheme of red and teal reoccurs throughout the film. The film is rife with references to Canada (Carleton, Cronenberg) and cinema (mentioned in almost every sentence that Lawrence utters!).
