Chris Radtke: Are you looking at
scripts as a part of WWE studios?
Triple H: Well, being behind the
scenes, and in front of the cameras for WWE, I have a lot of different roles,
and one of the roles - actually I read scripts all the time for WWE studios, I'm
part of what we would call our green light committee and read scripts and
decide whether its something we'd like to see made by the company. I think
people are misunderstanding a little bit what WWE studios is. We're not just
making movies to put our talent in, we're making movies. We're just trying to
make good movies. If there's a role that fits our talent, great. If there's not
a role that fits our talent, that's okay too. We just did a movie that was in the
Santa Barbara
film festival, called That's What I Am.
Stars Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, and Randy Orton's in it for a minute, two
minutes. It's not about getting our guys, its about trying to make good quality
films.
Chris Radtke: You're an
entertainment company.
Triple H: Yeah, an entertainment
company that can make a film or a TV show and put it out there, with the
right people in it and the right positioning. If it makes one of our super-stars
bigger, great, if not, if we can make the right movie, we're not looking to
make Avatar and spend a couple
hundred million dollars making something and have that gamble, but we're
looking to make good quality films that make a nice profit and if we get an
opportunity to make a big one, we will, but we're just getting our feet
wet in this genre and really for us, everyone looks at it and says it is a logical
step for the talent, it's also a logical step for the company. Like you said,
we're an entertainment company, what we do is tell stories, within our show,
whether its your cup of tea or not, what we do is tell stories, and we think we
do it pretty well, and we're going to start to try to do it in films and other
television.
