Movie and TV Interviews

Race to Survive is back for its second season on the USA Network, this time tackling New Zealand. In episode 3, we saw one team go home, and I caught up with them to share their thoughts on everything that went down on through their time on the show. Race to Survive: New Zealand airs Mondays on USA and is available on Peacock the following day. In the most harrowing outdoor adventure competition yet, challengers must rely on a combination of endurance racing, survival skills and intuition as they navigate 150 miles of New Zealand’s harshest terrain. From the depths of ancient caves to frigid alpine summits, every step and every calorie is hard-earned. However, strength and speed alone won’t be enough to win $500,000. Rather, only those with the strongest will to survive can claim this life-changing prize. Nine teams of two will navigate the deceptively beautiful New Zealand landscape, tasked not only with sourcing their own food and water, but beating their counterparts in a race to the finish as well. The duos must brave the foreign land and elements while realizing the fastest route might not always be the safest. In each leg of the race, the last team to reach the finish line will be eliminated from the competition. If the teams can endure physical pain, an unforgiving environment and each other, for long enough, they just might be able to claim the $500,000 grand prize.

Kurt Warner and Brenda Warner talk American Underdog story coming to life. Cast: Zachary Levi, Anna Paquin, and Dennis Quaid Directed by: The Erwin Brothers Screenplay by: Jon Erwin & David Aaron Cohen and Jon Gunn Based on: The book ‘All Things Possible’ by Kurt Warner and Michael Silver Produced by: Kevin Downes, Jon Erwin, Andrew Erwin, Mark Ciardi, Daryl Lefever Executive Producers: Kurt Warner, Brenda Warner, Tony Young, Jon Gunn, Sean Devereaux, Zachary Levi, Anna Paquin, American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.
