Q: Steve, how much physical preparation did you do?

Steve Carell: Well, I worked out and made my body a physical specimen to be admired and fine tempered steel is what most people - - I tried not to get killed was my MO in this. The most dangerous stunt, I probably don't know really which the most dangerous one was.

Q: Strapped to the train?

Steve Carell: Perhaps. There's a scene in which we're riding a banner behind a moving SUV. So we were on a platform. We weren't hooked in to anything and just being pulled down train tracks riding on top of this platform. That probably, the only reason I think it was dangerous was because everyone said, "Okay, are you ready to go? Good, okay, let's go. Let's do it." Then we just did it. But the safety crews, everybody was great. I never felt that anything was in jeopardy and the stunt people did the really heavy lifting and did a great job.

Anne Hathaway: Yeah, being pulled by the train was definitely our Titanic moment, if I jump, you jump. I did feel so safe all the time that the danger really never entered my mind. When I would describe to my mother what I was doing, she would have the heart attack for me. Being dropped 50 feet, being strapped to a cable having nothing but sidewalk - - well, I guess they, in the shot they did have a pad. But it was on a street in Montreal so you weren't in a closed set so you felt a little bit more exposed, but I just remember giggling. You would just kind of laugh and I had to put my head down because I was laughing so hard, it was just such a rush, it was just lovely, lovely. It was so exhilarating. So yeah, we just felt so safe the whole time that it just felt like being at the best amusement park ever.

Q: Who's a sexier costar, Steve Carell or Kate Hudson?

Anne Hathaway: Alan Arkin.

Alan Arkin: What was the question.

Q: How is Bride Wars going?

Anne Hathaway: Oh, Bride Wars is great. We have two days left. We were filming outside in New York the other day. I don’t usually have to deal with a lot of paparazzi attention but Kate does. There were, I kid you not, 50 paparazzi on the street and we had to call off the shot because they wouldn't get out of the way and so we had to find a different location. But, it was so funny to go from this very, very male universe to go to estrogenland on Bride Wars. Some days I feel sorry for the director because he is literally the only guy for miles. But it's fun, it's a totally different kind of comedy and to go from playing Agent 99 who is a very, very intimidating powerful woman, and then my character in Bride Wars is kind of, I think she's a lot more of a little girl. She's a girly girl. She likes being pretty. She gets her hair done, she gets her nails done, totally different from me. It's nice to just be able to go to all these different worlds and work with great people.

Q: Are you a fanatical Office fan? What was it like to make out with Steve?

Anne Hathaway: Well.

Steve Carell: I'm interested in this.

Anne Hathaway: You were there, you know. To say that I am a fan of The Office is really putting it mildly. When Steve and I don't see each other for a few weeks, my first question is of course, "What's coming up?" I agree the season finale was awesome. I'm a true Office fan. I'm rooting for Jim and Pam. Phyllis is my favorite character. Actually, it's changed now but my alias used to be Phyllis Vance. I just love the show so much. I love humor that kind of makes you feel uncomfortable and that show is so brilliant at it. It's so different than the British one and it's found it's kind of own American voice and I really relate to it. Anyway, all the reasons that everybody loves The Office I love The Office. Actually, when I went to audition for this movie, I didn’t think in a million years I was going to get the part. I really just wanted to meet Steve. And I did and it went well. Making out with him is like the yummiest lollipop.

Steve Carell: You are so full of it.

Anne Hathaway: Dipped in sunshine.

Steve Carell: Stop it.

Anne Hathaway: And wrapped around in with masculine wrapper. That's the only way I can think to describe it.

Q: But you were sick on the day?

Anne Hathaway: Okay, so you've got to hear this. So that day, that was the day of the train tracks. Somehow there was a health scare last year. A certain contact solution, I won't say the name of it, but it was the one that I used, gave you conjunctivitis. And I had a sinus infection at the same time so I had to go up to Steve, my eye is red, puffy and dripping green. I am just snotty and I'm just like, "Come here." And the worst thing was we didn't know that I had conjunctivitis at the time, so I had to call our producer Alex Gartner that night and say, "Yeah, you might want to call Steve and let him know I had pinkeye and my tears kind of got in my mouth so he might want to worry about that." So it was very glamorous and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Q: Did you get pinkeye, Steve?

Steve Carell: No, I didn't.

Q: Updating the gadgets?

Peter Segal: Well, we had to put the shoe phone in and that was tricky because how do you make something like that that's so iconic and was really the ancestor of today's cell phone relevant in a movie like this. The cone of silence we had to put in and ironically, one of our visual effects supervisors said that his uncle is friends with, and I can't say his name, but someone who is very high up in the CIA. They said that the cone of silence actually existed and they used it in the American embassy in Moscow. These were plastic cones, one cone that went over the people and they played music inside so that the conversation couldn't possibly be picked up by bugs. As usually, they said, it didn't work. So we had to try to figure out a way to put those in and if you've already seen it, you know how we did it and it was kind of tricky but we did a lot of research and Matt and Tom was fantastic. Matt is so annoyingly detailed in his research. He always is on the internet looking up things that exist, so almost everything in the movie is based on some kind of reality. So we came up with a few of our own gadgets to go along with some of the iconic ones.

Q: What was Buck Henry and Mel Brooks' involvement?

Peter Segal: We talked to Mel and Buck and also Leonard Stern several times to get their ideas and opinions. Mel was busy doing Young Frankenstein on Broadway. Buck has been battling some illness and Leonard is still fantastically vital and going strong and came to the set several times. It was very nerve wracking to be working with these legends because we all have such, well all except apparently one person, such fondness for the original series.

Alan Arkin: I would have had a fondness for it. If I had seen it, I would have liked it.

Peter Segal: There was no tivo back then. And I have to say, Mel and Buck recently saw it within the last two weeks. When Mel called me and he was going on and on and raving about it, I said, "Mel, you have no idea how much I've looked forward to and dreaded this phone call for the past two years." But you can't do something like this without consulting who we refer to as the three kings.

Q: Steve, how much longer will you stay on The Office?

Steve Carell: I have at least three more seasons.

Q: Would you stay if they wanted you?

Steve Carell: Beyond that? I have no idea.

Q: What's next for Alan?

Alan Arkin: I just finished something two days ago. It's called The Many Lives of Pippa Lee.

Q: TV?

Alan Arkin: No, it's a film.

Q: A remake?

Alan Arkin: No.

Q: Who's in it?

Alan Arkin: Robin Wright, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves and Blake Lively.
