The Batman's Colin Farrell Reveals He Went to Starbucks as The Penguin

- With director Matt Reeves’ The Batman opening in movie theaters on March 4, I recently had the chance to speak with Colin Farrell (Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin) and John Turturro (Carmine Falcone) about making the hugely anticipated DC movie. During the interview, Farrell and Turturro share some great stories about working with cinematographer Greig Fraser, what shots impressed them, how Reeves wanted to make a grounded movie, how the film is about solving a crime before all the characters become who the audience knows them to be, and the incredible filmmaking. However, my favorite part came towards the end, when Farrell shared something I don’t think anyone knows.
If you were in a Burbank, California Starbucks a few years ago and saw an older man that looked like Colin Farrell in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, you might be surprised to learn it was really him. That’s because on his first day doing makeup and prosthetics tests with designer Mike Marino, they went to the local store to test it out. Here’s Farrell explaining what happened:
“The first day we tried the whole thing out, we took it for a drive, a spin metaphorically speaking. We did it in Burbank. It took about six or eight hours. It was a team of ten or fifteen people. And it was really fun. I went into Starbucks and ordered myself a very un Oswald drink, an oat milk late with two stevia sweeteners. I got a couple of stares but only because it’s such an imposing look. Mike (Marino) did so much of the work for me on this, so much of the heavy lifting.”
As someone that has been to many Starbucks in Burbank, I wish I could have seen this happen. But at the time, no one had any idea Farrell was going to be wearing the prosthetics, so I’ll bet even if I was next to him, I would have never guessed he was standing there.
Watch what Farrell and Turturro had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about. The Batman also stars Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, Paul Dano (Riddler), Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.

Imagine you're just chilling and enjoying your coffee then the penguin walks in😐
and Penguin receives his drink yelling at it "hohoha! I got youuu! hahaha.. I Got You!" takes a sip and says "You're everything they say, ain't ya."
Penguin to barista after getting his coffee: Take it easy sweetheart
@@powerbom6 W comment
Hey pal… you’re in my way,
Penguin punches you and replies “Whoa. Take it easy sweetheart!”
or like: „yeah, I just fought Batman“
When the barista gets his coffee right. "I got you! I got youuuu!"
Penguin: take it easy sweetheart!
@@mcFronta1ot genius
@@mcFronta1ot that line is a panty melter. I would date Penguin in real life.
Falcone's office was really cool. It made him look like the king of the city, as his pool table room hovers over the city streets below. Really good cinematography in that scene, too.
Really in love with those giant windows with the bolts and the support frames. And industrial interior lover's wet dream.
The whole movie and the set pieces were characters on their own. Haven't seen a movie with such a engaging atmosphere like this one had in years.
i gotta say a part of me still desperately wanted batman to burst through the big center window when he was chasing selina
Penguin was jaw dropping. You knew it was prosthetics, but it look so real and Collin played so brilliantly that this was a real highlight in the movie.
The film was a cinematographic masterpiece. That one shot where Gordon goes to the bat signal and turns it off and it appears like he’s alone from the perspective we are seeing him, and then you hear Batman’s voice as he emerges from the shadows of one of the pillars was both an incredible shot and 💯% something Batman would do. Simply amazing stuff!
I just know that John Turturro will be my favorite Carmine Falcone, he knows and understands the comics!!!!
There’s only 1 other live action Carmine falcone so there’s not much competition
@@1God1Christ Not true. Two. Batman Begins and Gotham. Point still stands though lol
I hope he has a bowling scene.
John Tuturro as Phantom 😁
he is a legend
1:34 Holy crap, that answer from Colin Farrell was incredible and described the movie and Gotham brilliantly.
4:15 I've seen it at the cinema twice and seen the upside-down scene in trailers and plenty on youtube since, but I was still shocked again when he snapped me out of it, reminding us that he was in that scene! My brain just refuses to comprehend how Penguin and Colin Farrell aren't two separate people!
It's difficult for me to get out because chronic back pain makes even just sitting at a cinema very painful to endure, but I still hunger to "bathe in" The Batman again so soon after seeing it the second time already.
*Chef's kiss
I think I'm big Colin Farrell fan now too!
I was expecting John Turturro to be all crazy and deranged, but oh man was I wrong!!
He's actually one of the most pleasant actors to be around, but he dedicates himself to his roles.
Farrell deserves a best supporting actor nomination for his performance
Sounds like we got an accurate Batman movie
John Turturro is the world's most Sicilian man alive. Excellent casting for Falcone.
i get the feeling christopher nolan would have his penguin the same way
"how batman hooks up with gordon"
my, my
Ey yo 😳
Ayo?
@@channelname4331 "hook up" has multiple meanings (if u know what i mean 😏)
Aw hell naw
“This visage that is Oz” Holy shit
I hope they will show Sal Maroni in the sequel cuz I feel his appearance will expose more backstory
Masterpiece is almost here
Amazing information 😂 thanks for the interview
Latte for Cobblepot
Really looking forward to this film! The cast is incredible, I am not surprised that it is a very different Batman story.
That opening played like Dirty Harry. A Thriller showing the fear and anticipation of a murder. That was a Standout Moment.
Barista-gets his order wrong
Collin Farrell- Woah woah, take it easy Sweetheart!
I was invited to John Turturro's niece's wedding years ago. I met her father Nick Turturro but I did hope that her Uncle John might be there. She flew out to see him weeks before the wedding. He was really good as Carmine Falcone! I also didn't tell my friends until after the movie that Colin Farrell was The Penguin and they couldn't believe it.
John from being a pun in the Transformers movies. To doing a more serious role.
Colin Farrell knock it out the park with his portrayal of the Penguin
Sounds incredible
They were both spectacular
Yo that is so good!!!!! Like doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch but everyone must of keep looking at penguin until he left
Collin Farrell won me back over with his accent and voice tone with this character. He about to come back with some badass roles i bet.
These two omg they were soooo good in the film!!
I fear we are undermining Carmine Falcone’s sneakiness, sir…
Superhero movies are not the same, marvel movies are all the same, dc movies are always different.
You see how it ended when DC tried to copy Marvel's movie (that DCEU i meant)
@@Agent-km8og and that resulted in destroying the dceu
@@anas-432 exactly
Early Marvel Movies like Iron Man and Tobey’s Spider-Man had their own Identity but nowadays it’s all generic CGI garbage
The marvel part is true but for dc only a select few like the dark knight, man of steel and obviously the new Batman.
Workers were probably like Can I help you Ozwald Copplepot😂🤣😂
5:25 title of the video where he explains he went into Starbucks with the full outfit and makeup
This is such an underrated film. The whole singular idea, by Matt Reeves, that this is a man who is unhinged and unhealthily obsessed with fighting the criminal element at night who is constantly beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and with his unlimited amount of vast resources at his disposal. All he sees in the criminal element, in this corrupt town that his family helped to build and found dating back to the late 1800s, are the people who killed his parents as a young child making him an orphan.
So, he dons the mantle of that which he fears the most, in the form of the Batman, after training for the majority of his life to rid his city of the evil that took his parent's lives. He dosen't know who was responsible for killing Thomas and Martha Wayne so every criminal he sees, to him, is the criminal that killed his parents on that fateful night when he was only 10 years old. He is addicted to this mission, like a drug, so as both Bruce and Batman, he spends all of his time, trying to succeed in this impossible task he has set up for himself. That's why he never sees the light of day as Billionaire Bruce Wayne and is a social outcast and pariah. He is a man driven by vengeance; by revenge. By the end of this journey, as we see Bruce on a physical, mental, emotional and psychological level and transform from a young, naive, impatient man who makes mistakes still early in his career as a crime fighter we see him then become something else by the end...a symbol of hope, an ideal, a form of inspiration that makes criminals terrified to step out at night and commit their atrocities that makes Gotham City one of the worst places to call home. A city with a history and a foundation steeped in corruption and crime that ties back to the Wayne family and and their vast fortune. It also plants the seeds that will give him the inspiration to step out in the light of day to transform into the billionaire, playboy industrialist more interested in dating models and driving fast cars in order to hide in plain sight so no one would be able to distinguish Bruce Wayme is actually the Batman. A man consumed by vengeance who transforms into a symbol of hope. Obviously a film inspired by the comic book mythos and Arkham video game series and Batman animated series from the 1990s.
Ironically, a film consisting of character arc transformations and worldbuilding moments that is actually one of the most faithful Batman comic book movies to the original source material in the 1940s. Such as Detective comics issue 27 from 1937 and batman issue 1 in 1940 created by Bob kane, Bill finger and Jerry Robinson.
Then, the new 52 comics such as court of owls and Zero year by tomeu morey, john ottley, Jim lee, Scott Snyder. Batman year one by jim lee, David Mazuchelli and Frank miller as well as Batman: the long halloween and Batman: ego and other tales. This essay is lterally just scratching the surface of why it's actually one of the best batman films yet up their woth the likes of the Dark knight from 2008.
Finally after 3+ years of self isolation from all pop culture news for The Batman, I'm proud to say that this makes my effort way worthy! Epic. Batman. 🦇 🦇
Hahahahaha awesome
I think john Turturro might be the first person playing carmin falcone that is actually Italian.
Idk how interesting this movie would be if the main character wasn't Batman. But then again, you can say that about all the Batman movies
Idk why they stuck with the zac Snyder team for so long.
Snyyyyyyder priveleges. Just say the name. Snyyyyyyyyduh!
I loved the movie but it is kind of weird to bury Colin Farrell under so much makeup that it could have literally been anybody playing that part.
Change the title to both names!
The Film was AMAZING !...That`s how a movie is made.
Great - I've been spoiled for the opening scene.
How?they just said it's mysterious
@@ms6394 Its not massively spoiled, im just saying I know how the movie will start. Id rather i didnt.
@@baronbayne9899 stay away from anymore videos of the batman! control yourself just over a week left bruv!!
Don't watch these videos dude,there only little time left to see the movie
@@baronbayne9899 Cry about it, it doesn't change the film and won't impact your life at all.
two stevia
Dude, where can I buy your zod-ursa-non t-shirt?
I understand Gotham City is a dark place it all starts this two-day Thomas and Martha Wayne killed
Beyond the corruption of Gotham City now Batman has a finished what he started
The day he put on his first Batman suit at the first time.
It's not the way how Bruce Wayne lives like this throughout his life becoming Batman but now be things are right now as we know it today
What a truly means for Bruce Wayne become Batman.
I know Gotham City is a scary place to live in. Now it's up to the superhero
Jim Gordon was like a second father to Bruce Wayne show was Alfred pennyworth
As a stepdad. Helping Bruce Wayne become Batman.
Questions..
Does Riddler know Batman = Bruce?
The jail glass scene were teasing it
Either he doesn't know because he's crazy and convinced himself Bruce couldn't possibly be Batman, or he DOES know but pretends not to so they can "play again in the future"
The breath at the start has to be Talon
Spoilers
It's not
@@coz4371 piss
Yeah, well, that's like, your opinion man
They stole the show. Gr8 interpretations of the characters
did collin farrell gain weight for penguin? or was it CG or prosthetic/makeups?
I agree that this is a well-made, well-acted, high-quality drama that happens to be a Batman movie. So was The Joker with Joaquin Phoenix.
Why is our culture, our mythos, drawing upon the top talent in film making to make NOTHING BUT SUPERHERO COMIC BOOK MOVIES ALL THE TIME AND BATMAN IN PARTICULAR?
I have done better....I got in domino's with my mask off once....
I think you should keep your mask on, or they won't serve you 😂
@@Agent-km8og oh...they should...I own the place...
@@BATMAN-mn4tt no mask, no service, sir 😌
@@BATMAN-mn4tt Bruce Wayne owns Domino's? 👀
@@cartoonknight152 I own every thing that darkness swallows...
He went to a nearby coffee shop to get a coffee and his penguin make up. I wonder why he didn’t mention that.
Film was average at best. - but these 2 gave amazing performances. Especially Colin.
Im calling on everyone to cancel Colin Farrel and boycott the new Batman movie over hiring Farrel to portray an ugly fatguy instead of hiring an actual fatguy for the role.
**sarcasm**
I wasn't available at the time.
good luck at Jenny Craig
@@donle499 U are so lost, guy. So lost u trolled yourself.
@@javier77th trolls world tour
Really bro? You gonna interview two veteran actor in front of a shelf full of action figures?
Why not wear a 3 dolar rubber batman mask while you at it?
And I went and got gasoline while cross dressing as a goth girl. So what?
This dude really needs to get some sun. Whitest dude alive.
I didn't care much for it
The only cast that is not convincing enough in The Batman is John Turturo as Calmine Falcone.
Make no mistake that John Turturo is a great actor but Calmine Falcone's part is just not for him.
It's not intimidating enough.
They'll never make a Batman Movie, where he goes after real villains, like the people running the banks and the media
sadly, you're right
"REVEALS" HAHAHAHAHA they make it sound like he once stabbed a man behind and alley and he never heard from it again and has had nightmares ever since, that would be something to reveal!
i hate grounded feel for batman
This was the worst movie I’ve seen in awhile. Started off so great. Then swan dives into mediocrity. The Rat reveal terrible.
