Any movie that Jennifer Aniston is involved in I instantly get put off, she seems to play the same character every single film, hopefully this is a bit ‘edgier’, which is the impression I get from the poster, you never know though, it is directed by Andy Tennant, the man behind Hitch, which to put it lightly was sh*t. I do like Gerard Butler though, so I’ll try very very hard to keep an open mind about this. For a little bonus check out some extracts of an interview with Gerard Butler I did a few months back below.

The movie focuses on a bounty hunter (Butler) hired to retrieve his ex-wife (Aniston), who has skipped bail and we should have a trailer for the movie later on today. The Bounty Hunter is released 16th April 2010.

You seem to be stripping of in all your movies with 300 and P.S I Love what’s that about?

Gerard Butler: (Laughs) Trust me if I could leave my clothes on in a movie I’d rather do that any time, but if I’m gonna get undressed I’m gonna do it as well as I can(Laughs). Whenever I hear people say that’s sexy for the few people that say that I think are you insane!

What was the roll that cracked it for you?

Gerard Butler: It depends you know, in terms of in the business with people saying that that guy can act it was in Dear Frankie, it didn’t make a lot of money but it was the movie that if the directors watched it something positive would come out of it, The Phantom Of The Opera was another one it didn’t do that well financially. But if you mean REALLY cracking it would have to be 300. I think there’s something to be said for sticking to your guns and doing what you believe in, because that will become the most effecting, I remember when I was doing Dear Frankie I thought the movie was a beautiful movie, I didn’t care it didn’t do well, I think it’s sad it got lost in the haze of marketing. But then again I made Dracula 2000 (laughs) and with that Joel Schumacher saw me in that and said I wanna work with that guy one time, from that came the Phantom Of The Opera so it show’s if you do shit that might even work out (laughs).

You grew up in Glasgow and lived in London are cities the same all over, do they have this sort of culture?

Gerard Butler: I think there’s a lot of similarities between Glasgow and London, there’s a lot of the same sort of characters they just have different accents, I think with every city and society they have similar echelons of that society middle class, working class, criminals from what I’ve seen.

What do you miss most about Scotland living in the states?

Gerard Butler: Two things mainly, 1 the people and 2 the countryside. It’s such a beautiful country. It’s therapy when I go back. Everything relaxes, the people and the humour when you experience that. I was with a friend from Scotland in New York and my sides were splitting just the way he was saying things I thought I was gonna literally piss myself listening to him, I miss that about Scotland the sense of humour and sharpness that you share with your buddy’s .
