Ridley Scott's American Gangster
It's just who's going to be ready to do this and who is the most practical of doing this first? Because Russell essentially had actually he's on the screen eight minutes less than Denzel, so when somebody said, "You know. He's awfully good. He's actually really, really, really good, but he's on screen a lot." I said, "There's eight minutes difference actually." CS: Did you have the real Frank Lucas' permission to make the movie? Scott: Yeah, absolutely. Do you think Frank didn't want this movie made? Oh, yes he did. CS: Did you get to spend any time talking to him? Scott: Sure. I mean, I was going to meet with Frank because Denzel said, "You've got to meet with Frank." Frank Lucas came to my office in New York. I thought it would be for a half hour cup of coffee. Five and a half hours later and two bottles of red wineand I thought he didn't drink, Jesus Christ--and we really got to actually talk about Westerns and how he wanted to be in a Western.

Before You Go
Pack extra underwear. This is the only time you can break the less is more rule. 6. Pack a couple of plastic bags. They don't take up much space and are useful for separating wet or dirty clothing. 7. Pack toiletries in a plastic bag. Air pressure changes may cause breaks or leaking. Also keep in mind that bag handlers are not known for being gentle with your bags. 8. Think comfort. Take comfortable clothes that are easy to clean and care for. Pack comfortable shoes and only those that you have worn before. Traveling is not the time to break in new shoes. 9. Always pack a small umbrella – just in case. 10. Consider packing an empty lightweight and expandable bag. This will come in handy for purchases when it comes time to pack up and return home.
