![]() Waterworld unfortunately, will always be remembered for the small profit it made from the trouble-plagued $170 million production, the costliest in history up until Titanic. Others though, have been singled out for criticism, especially Waterworld and The Postman. While Costlier has attracted some incredible praise and received awards for some of his movies. I love the movies and I used to go with my parents and now I take my own children (Annie 14, Lily 12, and 11 -year-old Joe) We go to see all sorts of films and they really know a lot about the cinema now. "Somebody was saying the other day that Americans go to the cinema an average five times every year. Kevin Costner not only loves making movies but also can't get enough of going to the cinema. It's like his father Dodge (Paul Newman) says to him 'you choose - the past or- the future. The question is, can he get another chance when Theresa shows up'. He is a high school educated guy, and that's not a knock, who was very content to stay in the community where he grew up and was very happily married to a woman that he truly loved. That's great stuff for an actor, to play. "Garrett has not got over that love he feels for his wife. He is very emotional."Īdding to that Costner really enjoyed playing the part. I thought they were simple yet beautiful. And this other person Garret isn't quite ready, and I loved the letters. And I can understand how one seems more ready for the situation and knows what's right. "I can understand how people who are bruised, emotionally, come together that way. ![]() The big deciding factor for Costlier to play the character of Garrett Blake in Message in a Bottle was he felt the story was "honest and true". He's just great, I've been a fan of his for years and to finally get to work with him was a big high, and actually, I think we're a good match physically, I think he looks like my dad." "Absolutely fantastic, I wanted Paul to play my father in The Bodyguard but he couldn't do it and I'm glad now because this was a much better part. ![]() Costner's current movie gives him that chance to act beside his role model Paul Newman, so what was it like to work with Paul Newman'? It seems the dream of all actors that when they make it big they may some day get the chance to act alongside their role models. When they eventually meet they are attracted but Garret is still in love with his wife and finds it terribly hard to leave the past behind even though he knows that Theresa represents hope and the possibility of a new love in the future.įor 44-year-old Costner, an Oscar winner for Dances With Wolves in 1990 and the star of hits like The Bodyguard, Waterworld, The Untouchables, JFK and Field of Dreams, Message in the Bottle represented the chance to make "a very beautiful, simple and very romantic story that hopefully will touch people". Theresa, a young divorced mother who is nursing her own emotional scars, is deeply moved by the anonymous writer's words and begins to search for clues to his whereabouts. When the bottle is washed up on a beach and picked up, by newspaper researcher- Theresa Osbourne (Robin Wright Penn) it sparks a chain of events that will eventually bring them together. He has, however, pouted his heart out in a passionate love letter to his late wife which he placed into a bottle and cast out to sea. A solitary man, virtually his only meaningful human contact is with his father Dodge (a wonderful Paul Newman) who is understandably desperately worried about his son's inability to get over his tragic past and move on. In Message in the Bottle, which is based on a best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks, Costner plays Garret Blake, a sailboat builder, who is grief stricken after the death of his wife, Catherine. It's a bit like one of my other films, Field of Dreams, in that I hope that maybe some guys will walk out of the cinema and say, 'I'm going to tell the woman that I'm with what I love about her.' "It's a very simple thing but one of the great things you can draw from movies, they can make you think about your own lives." And I hope that people enjoy Message in a Bottle. Movies that have lots of special effects can be great, but there will always be love stories. "Stories about men and women, about love and the human condition, have never gone out of' fashion," he says. Message in a Bottle is the kind of timeless film that could have been made in the 40s or the 50s, says the actor. A beautiful, at times heartbreaking story about two people who have been deeply wounded by love. Kevin Costner sincerely hopes that his latest film, Message in a Battle, will put a little romance back into all of our lives.
