Sean McNamara

Um, you know, you have to take liberties.

You know, I, my, our director, Sean McNamara, was amazing in kind of coaching us and being for this.

Us, I think we were pretty well-grounded and not, you know, getting too emotional over things we couldn't change.

Like, but, you know, he kind of explained that, like, you can't tell a narrative story, and they based a lot of the film off our documentary.

Or sorry, during the 2008 writers' strike, and they were told not to start it.

And then they turned it in, and they were like, "Here, this is it.

We're not..." And they didn't wanna do revisions, and they, like, were, they didn't wanna listen to the director, and Sean was the director at that time.

And, um, you know, they end up getting writing credits on the...

Well, as we wrap up, what do you think are the lessons that we can learn today from his life? What does he leave behind? What's his legacy beyond this? Tear down this wall or Soviet Union as a person, as a man.

And I ask that because one of our before our wonderful director, Sean McNamara, took over before I brought the project to him.

Our director was the director of Rocky, John Avildsen, who died, unfortunately, very quickly of cancer.

But he often said to me, Mark, this movie is not about, you know, Rocky was not about boxing.

And I think they're starting to clean up the act a little bit.

Sean McNamara directed this movie.

I directed a movie with Dennis, and I did a movie called Soul Surfer about 12, 13 years ago, same thing.

And I've got my latest movie that I start next month is with Sean McNamara again, and it's a really incredible movie about the heart of Jesus Christ, and I think people will find it pretty fascinating.

I love it.

Kevin, I witnessed something on the ship.

Unfortunately, a lot of people did not feel as passionate about Raise Your Voice as I did, and this movie was pretty poorly reviewed.

It was directed by Sean McNamara, who also directed Casper Meets Wendy, so that was a nice little reunion for Hillary, at least.

And I think that she felt really passionately about the movie.

Like, when she's promoting it, she seems really into it, and... really sincere with how positively she talks about the plot and the character and all of that but this has a 16 on rotten tomatoes which is completely ridiculous and unfair i get that it's not a masterpiece but 16 and i'm right by the way because then they have the audience score which is 70 percent I feel like that is much more appropriate, probably even a little high as much as I love this movie.

And I think they're trying to, you know, starting to clean up the act a little bit.

Then I got three other movies done in the can.

And I'm about to start another movie next month with Sean McNamara, who directed me in Reagan and also the movie Soul Surfer.

I'm doing a movie of him dealing with the heart of Jesus.

It's pretty interesting.

Well, Sean McNamara, Mr.

Director, great to be with you.

Thanks for coming in today.

So it was an insane time.

It was so yeah, you're right.

People were like ratting each other out and like calling the unions and saying, I remember one time it was like Sean McNamara's mask has slipped below his nose.

And this became like a giant controversy on the set.

And

By the way, before we leave Sean, how is he as a director? You were a director yourself.

What do you notice about Sean McNamara as a director?

Well, obviously I had more interaction when we shot Soul Surfer.

I was in Hawaii for a much longer time than I was on Reagan.
