If you've been reading the site the past few days, you probably saw my print interviews with Ben Foster and Jason Statham for their new action film The Mechanic. However, I was also able to sit down with the two stars for a video interview. While they'd already done about fifty interviews before I walked in the room, they were still laughing and having fun. Saying that, they wanted no part of my first two questions (which led to a minute or two of awkwardness). But after getting past those initial missteps, the interview went great. We talked about how they found a good working chemistry, working with Simon West to craft the action scenes, reworking the script to make it better, and a lot more. Hit the jump to watch:For more on The Mechanic - including four clips from the film - click here.Jason Statham and Ben Foster
