EXTRA
INFO
 |
“It’s
basically the idea that old dogs can learn new tricks,”
laughed Williams. “It’s about two men
in what they call the twilight of the golden years,
older men. My character finds out that he has twins
that he didn’t know about and then the kids
are suddenly told ‘This is your dad, and you’re
going to stay with him for the weekend’.”
“John’s
character is a really hardcore bachelor, who thinks
that the idea of having kids around would be great
for cougar bait,” laughed the spastic “License
to Wed” star, adding, “For those of you
who don’t know what a cougar is, check online:
Single white females, or single females looking for
husbands.”
Once
the guys start watching “SpongeBob,” they
find that the world looks quite different from a child’s
perspective. “The idea of you having children
really appeals [to some women],” Williams said
of the flick, referring to the character of Travolta’s
real-life wife and co-star Kelly.
“It’s
learning about life,” the Oscar-winner proclaimed.
“What are you going to do now, smart boy, that
you’re single at the age of 50? … That
is the essence of the movie.”

RESHOOTS
INFO
 |
The cast and crew
of “Old Dogs” have been busy this week
doing reshoots for the film, which is slated for release
in April 2009. The zoo shut its doors on Tuesday (june
24, 2008) and will remain closed through Thursday.
It will reopen Friday.
Santa Ana city and zoo officials have reported numerous
sightings of stars Travolta and Williams at and around
the zoo.
Tapestry Films, the production company, has compensated
the city, which owns the zoo, for lost ticket sales,
concessions, gift shop purchases, train operation,
staff overtime and security, said Donna Schultze,
recreation supervisor at Santa Ana Parks, Recreation
and Community Services Agency. “We’re
not losing any money,” she said. “We don’t
get big ones like this too often.”
Most of “Old Dogs” was shot in New York
and Connecticut. The Santa Ana Zoo is said to resemble
some of the East Coast settings, so reshoots are being
done there.
The zoo and sets for the movie are closed, and visitors
are not welcome.
