In The Italian Job, Seth Green’s part was more than just a job. The job put him in touch with a famous Hollywood veteran, three current A-listers, a rap star, and Jason Statham, who is known as “the Transporter.” Statham told us while we were training, “Hey, I have a big show tonight. Who wants to do it?” Green talks about an action movie star who had only been in a few films at the time.
“Yes, I’ll watch your show,” I told him. Damn it, it was the Transporter. So, I now think of this guy I’ve been training with for the last two weeks as a real-life Superman who jumps out of planes and fights a train full of soldiers. I thought, “Oh my God, I better be nice to this guy!”
The Italian Job is a remake of a movie of the same name that came out in 1969 and starred Michael Caine. F. Gary Gray directed it. He also directed Friday and Straight Outta Compton.
It’s about a group of thieves who want to get back at a former teammate who cheated them and left them for dead. John, the leader of the team, is played by Donald Sutherland. He dies during the double cross.
Mark Wahlberg plays Charlie, who used to work for John and is now the boss. Steve, who is a trader, is played by Edward Norton. Stella, who is also John’s daughter-in-law and a skilled safe cracker, is played by Charlize Theron. Handsome Rob is a charming driver and flirt played by Jason Statham. Left Ear is played by Mos Def, and he is a stylish expert on bombs.
Seth Green probably wasn’t surprised when his part in The Italian Job was cut down on set. After all, movies like this have to show a lot of people in a short amount of time. But Green told Vulture that director F. Gary Gray told him he wouldn’t be in one of the best parts while they were making the movie.
Even though he and the other players had to do a lot of driving stunts, Seth Green never drives in The Italian Job. This is because he was taken out of the chase scene on Hollywood Boulevard at the last second.
Seth Green said to Vulture, “In an early draft of the script, my character drove the panel van down Hollywood Boulevard.” At some point, they understood that my character had to be in the middle of everything so he could run the show.
“So they hired the other guy, Franky G, and he became the other driver. About a week into it, Gary said, “Hey, Seth, we’re rewriting a lot of this, and it doesn’t look like you’ll be driving the car.”
Do you get what I’m saying? I said, “What you actually told me was that I’ll have about six weeks off in the middle of this production while everyone else is filming coverage of the heist.” After six weeks, when Green came back to the set, the rest of the A-list group was tired. He slept well and felt better than he ever had before.
