VINNIE JONES TALKING TO REPORTERS 3. MADONNA AND GUY RITCHIE 4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DIRECTOR BARRY SKOLNICK ABOUT FOOTBALL SCENES "Yeah, we put them in a kind of football boot camp, the problem was we shot the drama, it took six weeks while they all sat round and ate cakes, so when I sort of (claps his hands) 'right guys' they all sat there with big bellies hanging down. The football was just fun to shoot. I think it was harder for them than for me. They were running around." (PARAMOUNT PICTURES) 5. B-ROLL "MEAN MACHINE" (REUTERS) 6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DAVID HEMMINGS ABOUT VINNIE "He's a puppy dog. Everybody calls him a bully, he's a sweetheart. He's really genuinely a sweetheart. Wonderful to work with. We had tremendous fun. Hopefully that translates. If the soccer sequence at the end is anything to go by, that was hilarious both to shoot and hopefully is hilarious in the movie. Vinnie is wonderful."

The football was stop and start it wasn't flowing because we didn't want to do all this stuff with the camera on the face and then go down to somebody's legs. That was hard work and it was sort of eighty degrees doing it, but the acting side of it was my interest. That was when I enjoyed myself, the first couple of months of the film. The last couple of months was the football." (PARAMOUNT PICTURES) 9. TRAILER "MEAN MACHINE" Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
