Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart on Remixing a French Favorite with 'The Upside' | Rotten Tomatoes

This month, Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman star in the long-awaited American remake of the it French dramedy, ‘The Intouchables,’ which helped launch the international career of Omar Sy. The new film, ‘The Upside,’ tells the story of the bond between a paralyzed billionaire (Cranston) and his recently paroled caretaker (Hart), and critics are already praising the chemistry between the unlikely pair. Cranston and Hart recently sat down with Rotten Tomatoes’ Grae Drake to talk about the challenge of remaking - or “remixing” - ‘The Intouchables’ and which role from each other’s careers they would have loved to have played.

This was one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time. The host was amazing at making sure it went where it did. Amazing

[@lc2296]

Agreed

[@White_Noise_Audio]

Started watching but couldn’t. It was like hearing the subtitles of the original french film. It’s good that they made it but the french original will forever remain the best. The problem is, Kevin hart is funny, but doesn’t have the same emotional capabilities as Omar Sy

[@adiCT0316]

Omar Sy is so underrated in the international scene, so glad he’s finally getting his recognition.

[@ttoleafoa70]

@@adiCT0316 I mean he’s been in Jurrasic World, Transformers, and X-Men. He was in Burnt too. He may have been underrated for years in France but he’s gotten recognition internationally for a while now

[@msrobyn82]

Love how they can joke about race, age etc without someone making a big scene. Keeping it light hearted is the way to go. Everyones too serious nowadays.
Great interview 😁

[@henrycavillfriend5479]

💯💯💯

[@TheReminisce777]

i busted out laughing when bryan said that ride along.

[@viqneuman.5111]

I just want to watch these 2 do interviews all day long.

[@sharonsolana]

These guys are hilarious! And so talented!

[@hopefullforever6083]

yep

[@lc2296]

I havr rewatched this so many times. The interviewer was hilarious...

[@kshitiztongar]

The intouchables is so good that I just can't watch it's remake.

[@ccamilodonneys]

what a a professional looking interviewer

[@BudderB0y2222]

Christian Horta Looks goofy af

[@rosej5029]

Christian Horta Are you being sarcastic?

[@nihalarya224]

Wow this interview was so cool and so calm and funny at the same time.
Loved it ❤

[@sambou6286]

The interviewer hair is catching fire!!!!

[@MarleyGHaHa]

Great interview😂

[@rizope4281]

3:08 that was genius Kevin😂

[@jeffm1568]

Not trying to be sexist or anything but this comment is just that... she is actually a good interviewer whereas most women, not all, but most are not.

[@ceciliabrenker4993]

Why does there have to be a remake? The original is so fantastic and wonderful. The only problem is that the US is really bad at synchronizing non English movies.. Hollywood is really running out of their own ideas!

[@dnamrags6062]

They wanted money, they wanted a masterpiece with the reaction France gave. 🤑🤑🤑

[@patrickcastillo2695]

Why did y’all give this a poor rating it’s so good!!!!!! I think it’s needs some corrections

[@joshuavanname1246]

Cause it sucked

[@originaler31er67]

Because we are fans of the original and this remake is a disgrace to it. People don’t want a remake just because it wasn’t a American production

[@aagilly]

no way near as good as the original. And they copied it scene by scene. This is not a cover version - this is a direct copy of the french version.

[@Byran1020]

It wasn't 100% the same, lots of the same scenes but there are stuff that were not in Intouchables

[@S4TANAS.]

Still good movie

[@sharq5592]

it was better than the original

[@laureano971]

Don't matter it has 2 good actors I'm watching it lol America

[@originaler31er67]

Sharq NOPE 👎

[@carolj7586]

[@susanbehring3401]

I love this movie!

[@rockywood21]

Great movie!!!!!

[@magicmentalismbyjamesarthu7034]

You can tell how great this movie is going to be, based on how well these 2 get along.

[@delano3888]

You talking shit they made a remake of one of the best movies

[@sekai9906]

Yeah... Not to burst your bubble but... This is scripted. Just watch Intouchables and its interviews, you'll get what I mean.

[@vihan2008]

host is like that bird in avatar

[@yllka283]
