- “Extra’s” Charissa Thompson spoke with Will Ferrell as he promoted his new movie “Eurovision.”
When asked how he sold Pierce Brosnan on the role of his dad in the movie, Will said, “There’s always that moment when you’re casting a movie and you say, ‘Like a Pierce Brosnan type,’ and you usually don’t land the person you’re talking about - except in this case. When we’d written in the script, Lars’ father 'is the most handsome man in all of Iceland’… he agreed. We were jumping for joy.”
“Eurovision” premieres on Netflix June 26. - Zábava
Ferrel: will you play roll of my father?
Brosman: i dont want be your father.
Ferrel: great you already know your lines.
Brilliant!
ABED
Streets ahead
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Skyler Wilder instablaster =)
“Ja Ja Ding Dong” is in my head. It has achieved “it’s a Small World” status. Thank you for the very enjoyable movie.
PLAY JAJA DING DONG!!
Also, the song “Husavik” brought tears to my eyes and I am not even Icelandic. Hats off to Rachel McAdams for performing it and Molly Sander for singing it. What a beautiful voice.
@Stevey wevey nah. Turns out they have similar vocals so molly basically fixed rachaels voice. There would be no reason to lie since we already know rachael cant sing on her own
The singer herself said that she can’t hear Rachel in there. I am sure they did mix something, but just to say that they did.
Omg I am so glad to read someone got emotional to this........ I was in floods of tears!! Such a beautiful ending and a stunning song. xx
@Stevey wevey yea thats basically what I said
@Stevey wevey having the same vocals and being a good singer are different things. Also why wouldnt they edit the music. Its a movie not a talent show. Also they didnt need a singer for will ferrel because he wasnt supposed to be a good singer. Thats basically the premise to the movie
Pierce Brosnan - Lars extremely handsome dad
Probably not your sister
@@AristoCat221 definitely your stepsister
SOOOOOO is lol!!
As a Eurovision fan for 30 years it's shocking how perfecty the music from the film captures the batshit crazy off the actual Eurovision.
This is our 2020 Eurovision, and I am not accepting criticism
Douze points
Brought to you by Americans. The only way they will let us participate is during a pandemic and by video.
but eurovision is rasist
Agreed
@@keijo4359 you are racist
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!!!!!!!!
PLAY IT!!
I have been waking up my kid with that song ever since we watched the movie : good mood all day everyday
@@yasminbanana2587 you do know what that song is singing about right? And you sing it to your kid?
When I feel your gentle touch
And things are going our way
I wanna spill my love on you all day, all day
Jaja ding dong (ding dong)
My love for you is growing wide and long
Jaja ding dong (ding dong)
I swell and burst when I see what we've become
Jaja ding dong (ding dong)
Come, come my baby, we can get love on
Jaja ding dong (ding dong)
When I see you I feel a ding-ding dong
Love expands when I'm with you
All over the Milky Way
I wanna open up to you all day, all day
Why do I have to play it? I already played it!
Pierce Brosnan was in ‘mamma Mia’. He is not a snob when it comes to movies.
He seems like a really nice guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. That said, his Icelandic accent was HORRIFIC lol
It’s a master piece!
I want to hear JA JA Ding Dong!!!!
That scene where he knocked over dude in the port o john had me dying on the floor
Yes i believe it is a masterpiece too, initially, not a movie for me. But it is so thought through, every one Can have there favorite moment, you remember every scene. I compare it to the Big lebowski. You just wait for your favorite character or scene or song, every time you watch it. It is a little too Long but so is the European song Contest. This Will be a classic. And don´t forget the music! Not my style but wauv it is great, hilarious.
Port a potty?
“I’m not sorry!” LOL.
Pierce was Born to play Bond🤩
Pierce is my favorite bond. Fight me.
Fuck yes
I love that it's just taken for granted that an Icelandic accent and a Swedish accent are the same.
Totes! 🤦♀️... Still loved the movie.
Americans 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️
well, I'm Swedish and I'm fine with that. It's really close after all. And it's not like I can tell American and Canadian English apart for example
I was just thinking that...not the same
not the same but Europeans can tell whether it's good or not..
It's really surprising that some Americans don't know about Eurovision. Thanks to media we know about their SuperBowl. I'm glad they get to know this awesome contest by this wonderful movie:)
Yea true I heard a reviewer talking about Eurovision and saying she didn't know Abba got their start on Eurovision. All I was thinking was who doesn't know that. Even if you hate Eurovision you know that.
Ipek Komurcu I am American and I had no clue but now I’m obsessed and I want to watch it! It sounds amazing and also had ZERO idea that’s where ABBA got their start. My whole family is obsessed and we all agree we need Eurovision in our lives!
@@breel4769 Yaay! I'm so happy for you! New perspectives, new energy. Being able to share something that we grew up with with the rest of the world makes me happy :)
We live in Puerto RIco and my dad LOVED it and made us keep him company watching it. Ever since he discovered it he was obsessed and i'm really glad he made us watch. It was just so much fun and It made the movie extra good being able to identify the people there.
I knew about Eurovision, but to be fair I mean it’s a euro centric competition, so you can’t blame Americans for not knowing about it.
The rest of the world knows about things like the Super Bowl because America’s culture is so dominant in the world.
today i was sitting with my girlfriend on the couch hanging around when she would just start "JAAA JAAA! DING DONG!" out of nowhere XD two days after watching the movie. that much about catchy tunes!
IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH COME BACK IN AND PLAY JA JA DING DONG
We watched it 2 days ago and have been doing the same with my husband lol
it was the perfect time to release the movie
Pierce did a good job in his role. Movie is better than expected. Not sure it would have done well in a Theater, but a Great Netflix Original Movie.
Not only have I watched the movie 3 times now - once alone and twice with the kids - but the songs keep playing in my head.
I put them in on Spotify. And I laughed out loud several times - each time I watched the movie. Love 💕 it .
This film should win an Academy Award, Will and Rachel are so adorable together.
Will Ferrell is such a cool guy
seen the movie five times already
Me too, I watch it like every other day I love it sm
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie more than I can ever say......with a NOD to Elf (which I super loved) and amazing Will’s talent on all levels, including writer, who actually sings in his own voice.....Rachel McAdams is amazing and sings with the support of another singer....WOWOWOWOWOWOW, so fun. Gracious, I love knowing about Eurovision contest, thanks for sharing.
It's a great film. Also, I need that t-shirt.
I will never get tired of hearing Jaja Ding Dong. My new favorite song for a life time.
No! We only want Ja Ja DIng Dong!!
Spungolicious 😂😂
LOVED the film! LAUGHED AND LOVED. So needed during this difficult time.
I'm happy this movie came out during all this craziness too! Thank you for bringing this movie out and enlightening me about Eurovision.
I watched it and I thought it was fantastic.
My psuedo-family (sister, brother-in-law, boyfriend, all the pets) has seen this movie GOD more than 5 times since it came out, thank you for allowing some fluff into our lives right now. And, YES, the songs are SUPER catchy and are now memes in our household! Thanks for shining a spotlight on the Eurovision tradition, while also taking the piss out of it (as the Brits say)
I need a fire saga t shirt 👕
Ferrell as Bond. That’s an inspired idea. But no one explained how he got Pierce Brosnan.
All they said was that his character is “the most handsome man in Iceland” and he was sold.
I saw Pierce interviewed and he said Will Ferrel is such a nice and fun person, he wanted to work with him. He said it was an easy yes :)
That song along was one of the most fun scenes in awhile. And Will lending his star power to promote eurovision and showcasing its winners and contestants is a great testament to what kind of guy he is
I love this movie. I went in knowing nothing and came out utterly adoring this movie. Bronsan does look amazing and I'm definitely singing these songs over and over again.
I agree. It’s exactly what we all need right now. Fun movie!
The movie was amazing I really enjoyed the songs and of course I enjoyed Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams
I loved Pierce in the role! All the casting was bang on.
I instantly fell in love with the film. The soundtrack is currently my go to album to chill and relax.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen him where he wasn't being a character. As much as I love his characters, it's nice to know he really is a sane, down to earth human being.
"Where are you? A library or something?" Because there is a small stack of books in the background?
@Matthee Latham Must feel nice, that sense of European superiority, huh?
I have these songs stuck in my head Constantly❣🤣🙌🙆♀️🖖👍🤩🤘❣🤟💜‼🥰😜 watched it twice so far!
Double trouble is in my head and spotify all the time!! The movie is fun, hilarious, so nice to watch!!!
Great feel good film and tribute to Eurovision. Well done to all involved.
Been listening to the Eurovision Song Contest Fire Saga Soundtrack everyday since seeing the movie last week! Ja ja.. ding dong DING DONG! (Which btw, i think is a nod to the 1975 ESC winning song .. go ahead, look it up!)
Great movie Will, Rachael, Pierce, Molly, Dan, and all that made this movie happen. Came out for all to see at the perfect time considering the real ESC was cancelled due to COVID, but this movie is kind of like our own ESC 2020. Looking forward to seeing/hearing all of the performers next year 🤞🏼
Can't get enough of this movie .So awesome well done everyone. Elves rule
Pierce Brosnan is 67, Will Ferrell is 52 so PB had WF at 15.
Possible in Iceland 😂😂😂😂
@Áróra Stormsdóttir Is that your actual name? That would be the most badass name in history. Still a great handle if not.
@Áróra Stormsdóttir Aurora Storm's Daughter (in English) conjures up ominous and colorful imagery. And it looks and sounds extra cool in Icelandic. I learned to pronounce a bit of Iceland before I visited a couple years ago.
@@mentalfloss100 Absolutely! I actually know a couple in Iceland who became grandparents at 32, do the maths! Funnily, he is a captain on a fishing boat and VERRRY handsome.
I've been aware of Eurovision since ABBA won back in 1974, I'm so glad this movie seemed to celebrate that awesome group, I wish they would come sing for us again.
I was really surprise with this movie.. Actually better than I spected
I have watched this movie 3 times because my kids love the songs so much and It is a very entertaining movie. I have known about the Eurovision because of someone from Romania who was in it. I was a fan. Will has a good voice 👍
I love Will Ferrell so much! He is a genius!
I love how the interviewer asks "does your Swedish wife approve of your accent?" SMH Ferrell's character is Icelandic *facepalm*
interestingly enough, there;s a serious discussion about Molly's Icelandic usage in the "Husavik" song - so its actually an interesting point :)
@@ZakhadWOW well, the icelandic parts are gramaticly incorrect anyways, so...
Piers Brosnan has a heavy SWEDISH accent in the movie - Ferrell actually sounds Icelandic-ish in his. He must have studied it. All very funny. We Icelanders love it, though most of it is wildly inaccurate - but then some surprising hits. Hits and misses and all hilarious. Will watch it over and over, a feel good film. You can tell they had fun making it.
I've been humming the songs... again and again and again... it's that good. If you're european and specially had the fortune to listen eurovision since 70s at least, you will understand the spirit of the movie completely.
Fantastic move thanks
I wish we could've made it to Husavik when we there but we did get photos at the keyboards they have set up on Reykjanes Penninsula. We had watched the movie (which I really liked) about a week before we went to Iceland and it was cool to be on at least on one spot that was in a movie we had just seen! Iceland is gorgeous and I would like to go back in the summer so I can get to Husavik!
He is so right, I work in a pub and I was huming "Volcano Man" to myself all night!!! haha xx
Freaking Amazing Film!!!!! Easily up in my top 5...
I've watched it 5 times already.
I was surprise its sooo good
It's a very entertaining move. I loved it! 😊
This film along with Elf are his best yet.
I really enjoyed the movie. Perfect amount of silly combined with good actors and story.
Absolutely beautifully funny and i cant stop the songs are funny but beautiful. Will you were perfect rachel beautiful just beautiful and stunning. Pierce just Awsome Loved it just Loved it you all killed it.
THE MOVIE IS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!!! totaly another level from everything that WILL did so far!!!!!!
Volcano Man is right!
I've been humming those songs since the movie came out... 😂
As an American, I would prefer to watch Eurovision over the super bowl. ABBA and Celine Dion got their start on Eurovision and I enjoy their music to this day, but I wouldn't remember who won the super bowl three years ago. Thanks for a fun movie.
Only thing i can say is a big thanks because i didn't know the name eurovision and i just know it 2 days ago when i was wathcing the movie and after reseach i saw that eurovision is something big over 60 years and i found new artist i didn't before just because the sing along song
She is a great interviewer.
the movie was funny and all but like it also hit home emotionally too, so kudos
I've had 'Husavik' in my head for months. Damn you Will Ferrell!
I watched the movie and it is really enjoyful
AWESOME ! WILL FERRELL for next BOND MOVIE
Ja Ja Ding Dong is the new go to karaoke song once everyone is good and sloshed. 💯
i really loved this film
This could probably lead to something like this happening in the states
I have watched this film twice.. and will probably watch it again and again, honestly, it's genius!! I hope Americans "get it" - because if you have never watched eurovision before, it's hard to understand what it's about....it might seem like a silly film, but this is very true to life, I just wish Wogan were still alive, he would have LOVED this. We wake up singing Volcano Man in our house pretty much every day since watching - yes, we are mental. Jaja Ding Dong is my ring tone :-D
I've been wanting to do this for 20 years.
So how long have you wanted to do this?
Gotta watch Eurovision again...and again
Great movie 👍🤩
Play ja ja ding dong... PLAY IT!!!
Den här filmen är en hyllning till Island och dess vackra natur och kultur. En hyllning till Eurovision song contest med all sin kreativa galenskap. En kärlekshälsning till Sverige - och en vink till alla amerikaner. På ett kärleksfullt sätt alltså 🥰
I didnt give much hope for the movie but it turned alot better than I expected.
seriously never heard of Eurovision ..??? that must one deep whole she must be living in ..
If you actually watched the video he says people in the states "don't know much about it". Do you see it being broadcasted on major networks like NBC, CBS, ABC? Of course not.
And it's *hole by the way
We Americans literally have seen nothing about Eurovision up until this week.
I never knew about it either
IM IN DOOUUBBBLEEE TRRUHHBLLLEE TOOONAAIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEAHHHHHHHHTTTT
Ive seen it. Congrats to u and Rachel Mcadams
Will F as Bond ❤️
Pierce stuff starts at 2:50
Enjoyed that movie
Will Ferrell should do a spoof of James Bond, he would be fabulous at that!
I'am in Canada and I've never heard of it and i'am a 53 year old Musician!...lol!
Movie is very solid
Release ya ya ding dong as a single!
LOVE
i’m surprised Americans aren’t aware of Eurovision because i live in Asia and i watch it every year
FIRE SAGA!
That movie mad me knowing that there r fun people in the world.
The blonde interviewer isn’t fake or annoying at all 👏
I’m still singing JAJA DING DONG.
Volcano man is too short. even the extended version is too short. lol need a 5 minute volcano man with music video please and thank you. haha
great movie
I can’t expect it that he’s getting older
Eurovision 2 needs to happen!!!!!
Will Ferrell is the best.
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!!!
Omg...that would be an awesome Will Ferrel movie...Bond Ferrell
I have noticed that Irish are by nature friendly.
