Green Book: Viggo Mortensen & Mahershala Ali Interview
212Green Book: Viggo Mortensen & Mahershala Ali Interview
The next few months are bound to be quite the ride for Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. The duo stars in the Peter Farrelly-directed film Green Book as Tony Vallelonga and Dr. Don Shirley, respectively. Tony works as a bouncer, but when an opportunity to make a little extra money comes along, he takes the gig and winds up escorting Doc Shirley, a world-class pianist, from Manhattan to the South for a concert tour in the 1960s. The two are completely different people with extremely different lifestyles that don't quite jell at the beginning of their journey, but along the way, they learn from one another and also come to respect their differences.
If you've been watching Collider For Your Consideration, you know that we've discussed what it means to be an Oscar movie nowadays with the growing Academy and also to us personally. Sitting across from an Academy Award nominee and winner who also happen to have some serious, well-deserved Oscar buzz this year, I had to pose that question to them as well. Find out what being an Oscar movie means to Mortensen and Ali in this video interview.
Catch Green Book when it hits theaters nationwide on November 21st.
