Sot Vinnie Jones ( Question: how did you prepare ) - "Well I literally got off the plane and went on to the set and just done my first night there, absolutely exhausted, done a couple of overnights. The warmth of the cast was fantastic and I've met a few friends that will be friends for life and for me that's what it's all about." 6. Sot Adam Rifkin - Director - "I was very impressed with Vinnie Jones, I had no idea that he was a famous athlete here with a bad reputation for being a tough guy. I just knew him as an actor from 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.' I was really impressed with how good he was an actor, how prepared he was and how he didn't complain and what a nice guy he was. So I saw immediately a lot of different kinds of roles that he could play that maybe people with a preconceived notion of who he is wouldn't think of him as." 7.Clip 'A Night at the Golden Eagle ' 8. B-roll from set of Video Clip for 'Wings' -track for 'Mean Machine' 9. Sot Vinnie Jones - "It's a prison movie, there is a bit of soccer in there and the women love it and at the moment on the results that we have got from the screenings the women have over took what they did on 'Lock, Stock...' and 'Snatch' so we are very pleased with that." 10. BTS 'Wings' 11. Sot Vinnie Jones - "I think it's definitely what a movie needs because you'll hear it and it's got that catchy chorus (sings) If I had wings I could fly away'... So people relate to the film or relate to the music. It's always good." 12. B-Roll Andrew Lloyd Webber 13. SOT Vinnie Jones - "He's a good friend of mine Andrew Lloyd Webber, they are going to do a tribute to him and he thought it was going to be a fantastic idea for me to sing 'McCavity' in front of the Queen which is a bit daunting but you've got to have the balls to do it and so I said yes." 14. B-Roll 'Wings' THE UNSTOPPABLE RISE OF VINNIE JONES ===================================== Three years ago English football (soccer) player Vinnie Jones was famous for two things: helping take unfashionable Wimbledon to an unexpected FA cup win, and for grabbing Newcastle's star midfielder Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne - where it hurts. Now he is known world-wide as a film star and, after a string of largely silent "hardman" roles, is shooting the first movie in which he takes the lead role, 'Mean Machine.' On release soon is 'Night At The Golden Eagle,' a low budget indie which casts Vinnie as a thuggish pimp who regularly beats up his "bitches." Once again, Jones trades on his intimidating presence rather than his acting ability, in this his fifth role. The first, 'Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels' catapulted Jones and director Guy Ritchie onto the top floor of stardom. Ritchie made the follow up 'Snatch' (also starring Jones) and cemented his arrival on the A-list by marrying Madonna, while Vinnie, to the undoubted consternation of the trained actors in 'Lock, Stock..' began picking up parts in Hollywood blockbusters. As well as his roles in 'Night Of The Golden Eagle' and 'Snatch,' he's also played opposite Nicolas Cage in the car heist thriller 'Gone In 60 Seconds' and starred alongside John Travolta and Halle Berry in the secret agent computer heist thriller, 'Swordfish.' In 'Mean Machine' (a remake of the 70s Burt Reynold's American football drama) Vinnie is a national footballing hero jailed for a drink driving offence who is charged with coaching the prisoners for an important match against their jailers. The preparation for the game become a battle of wits and muscle when faced with the dirty tricks campaign of the warden and his cronies. Directed by Barry Skolnick, 'Mean Machine' also stars British TV actor Warren Mitchell, who played the sit-com character Alf Garnett in 'Till Death Do Us Part'. But Jones clearly isn't happy with just two careers - he's also taking up singing. The former tough tackling midfielder will perform a tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber, in front of the Queen, at this year's Royal Variety Performance.

It made movie stars of real life, small time gangsters and tough-nut soccer players. And last night LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS made an offer to Londoners that some simply could not refuse. - The low budget movie, set in the low-life world of London's gangster and drug culture, is about a group of young pals who take part in a betting scam that goes horribly and entertainingly wrong. - The film was released on video in the UK this week and to mark the event, a charity auction featuring props from the movie was held in London last night, March 3rd. Several of the film's stars turned out to help proceedings along. - The movie was the debut from 29 year old writer/director GUY RITCHIE who created a fast moving, stylish thriller that made Hollywood sit up and take notice. The film recently opened in the States and has been warmly received both by stars like TOM CRUISE and by the critics. The big question remains whether US audiences will be able to take the film's rich, colourful language which strays heavily into London slang. - His cast mixed up and coming young actors - NICK MORAN, JASON FLEMYNG, DEXTER FLETCHER and JASON STATHAM - with non-professionals like soccer star VINNY JONES. Pop star STING has a supporting role and his wife TRUDIE STYLER was executive producer on the movie. - For more information about the film contact Polygram Filmed Entertainment in London on +44 171 307 1300.

TAPE_NUMBER: EN9947 IN_TIME: 11:49:09 LENGTH: 04:23 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: No access Internet FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: xfa Story: Snatch Location: London Date: 15th November 1999 Vinnie Jones may be a famous footballer turned Tinselltown toughguy, but he knows where his loyalties lie ! Fresh from a starring role opposite Nicholas Cage in action flick "Sixty Seconds", Jones has returned to London to once again work with the man who launched his film career, "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" director, GUY RITCHIE. Their latest project is "Snatch", a heist story set against the backdrop of the Jewish diamond district in London involving a diamond deal going awry, the rough and tumble world of bare-knuckle fighting, a colourful Irish gypsy (Pitt) and a dog. The story follows the convoluted path of a precious diamond through the murky London underworld. Jones' costars include EWEN BREMMER ("Trainspotting"), BENICIO DEL TORO ("The The Usual Suspects", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"), DENNIS FARINA ("Reindeer Games", "Get Shorty"), MIKE REID ("Eastenders") , and Hollywood's hottest, BRAD PITT. Working together is a dream come true for both Ritchie and Pitt, who has been hounding the director for a role since seeing his widely acclaimed first feature. And only too happy to have the Hollywood heavyweight involved, Ritchie quickly signed him up, putting Pitt's ear for accents to work with a role as an Irish gypsy ! Brad Pitt headed a shortlist of Hollywood talent eager to work with the young director following the release of the smash hit 'LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS'. Tom Cruise was so taken with the film - apparently he declared after a private screening 'This film rocks' - he was rumoured to be in the running for a role. The Material Girl is apparently so smitten with Ritchie, she has bought a London home on his advice. But the director has refused to fall for the lure of Hollywood . Despite being offered a range of lucrative - and big budget - films, he has returned to the East End - and a relative small budget of $8 million dollars. For Ritchie, it's all about retaining control. 'No one tells me what to do here because the money isn't so significant...so I can keep complete control' Written by Ritchie, and produced by MATTHEW VAUGHN, (with Sony providing distribution) "Snatch" will be shot on location in London for eight weeks, for release in Autumn 2000.

I know him, obviously he is a very serious man but Vinnie is a very funny person and I think you have to have it in you naturally. Also he wants to be an actor, he wants to do it, he's going to do it." 5. b-roll director 6. b-roll scene take 7. b-roll director at monitor 8. SOT BARRY SKOLNICK, Director on problems in shoot - "I think the biggest problem coming from my background which is commercials, which is 3 or 4 day shooting, moving to a 50 day shoot, it's stamina. For me that was the nightmare. You do get to day 43 and you have 7 people asking you a question at once and it's keeping your concentration. As far as nightmares go, I would say that we were fairly lucky. Jason Statham, who plays a character called Monk, got chicken pox, really serious chicken pox, he was so spotty, I lost Jason for a week and so that was a fairly tricky thing so it was kind of rescheduling. The only other thing is shooting outside in the UK over four weeks which in reality in the film is only 90 minutes, that's pretty tough because continuity and lighting was pretty difficult. No major traumas." 9. Clip 'Mean Machine' 10. SOT VINNIE JONES rejecting criticism film is too macho - "I would say to them that if they want to come and have a look at our screening results it's gone more favorably with the women than it has done with blokes and it's beaten 'Lock Stock' and 'Snatch'.Tthe women that have seen it, they love it." 11.Clip 'Mean Machine' STORYLINE: VINNIE JONES KICKS OFF FOOTBALL DRAMA Former football hardman turned actor VINNIE JONES stars in his first leading role in the prison drama MEAN MACHINE. The movie is a remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds film 'The Longest Yard' (originally released in the UK as 'The Mean Machine'), and takes the action to England. Jones steps into Reynolds' shoes as Danny 'Mean Machine' Meeham, a national footballing (soccer) hero jailed for match fixing and the drunken assault on a police officer. The prison governor has pulled strings to get Meeham behind his bars, to help with the semi-professional football team made up of prison guards. Instead, Danny persuades his jailor to let him train a team of cons to play the guards in a pre-season warm up. The preparation for the game become a battle of wits and muscle when faced with the dirty tricks campaign of the warden and his cronies. Jones first found fame as a real life football player, helping to take unfashionable Wimbledon to an unexpected FA cup win, and for notoriously grabbing Newcastle's star midfielder Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne - where it hurts. His hardman image landed him a role in Guy Ritchie's 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', and then in its sequel 'Snatch'. Parts in a string of Hollywood blockbusters followed, including 'Gone in 60 Seconds' opposite Nicolas Cage, and 'Swordfish' with John Travolta and Halle Berry. He will also star in the forthcoming 'Night at the Golden Eagle'. But 'Mean Machine' is the first film in which the actor plays a leading role. While many would find the responibility a nerve-wreaking prospect, Jones says he wasn't worried. "No it's a challenge and I love challenges. The more that they send my way, the more that I get aggressive with it and try and do my best to succeed withat what I am doing. I've been like that for a long time now. I had it with the football and now I've got it with the acting. It's a fresh start of life for me." Mean Machine is executive produced by Guy Ritchie, and is the third film to come from the Ska Productions stable. Unlike 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock..', though, 'Mean Machine' is directed by BARRY SKOLNICK, and is the feature debut from the award winning commercials director. Skolnick admits the change of pace took some getting used to - commercials usually demand only a 3 or 4 day shoot, whereas a feature is more like 50, requiring far more stamina. Other difficulties on set included one of his stars struck down with Chicken Pox, taking him off set for a week; and the unreliable British weather, as Skolnick tried to make the match, filmed over 4 weeks, look like a 90 minute event. 'Mean Machine' sees Jones reunited with fellow Ska favourites JASON STATHAM ('Lock Stock..', 'Snatch') as the unstable, but talented inmate Monk and VAS BLACKWOOD ('Lock, Stock...') as Massive, a fellow prisoner helping Meeham manage the team. As with the previous two Ska films the language is rough and the comedy is fast. Blackwood says Jones has what it takes to pull off comic lines. "Vinnie is a funny guy, he's always cracking jokes, he is a funny guy. I know him, obviously he is a very serious man but Vinnie is a very funny person and I think you have to have it in you naturally. Also he wants to be an actor, he wants to do it, he's going to do it." Critics are already saying the game at the end of the film is the most realistic football match ever seen on the big screen. But others wonder if 'Mean Machine', like 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Snatch' before it, will have trouble appealing to women. There are no strong female roles in any of the three films, and they all focus on contemporary male themes. Vinnie Jones brushes the doubts aside, saying in test screenings of 'Mean Machine', women liked it more than men did. "I would say to them that if they want to come and have a look at our screening results it's gone more favourably with the women than it has done with blokes and it beat 'Lock Stock' and 'Snatch'. The women that have seen it, they love it." In fact the group that rated it the highest was women aged between 20 and 40. The film also features British TV actor Warren Mitchell, (Alf Garnett in 'Till Death Do Us Part'), and comedy actress Sally Phillips ('Bridget Jones's Diary') 'Mean Machine' is released in the UK on 26th December 2001.
