September 2022 - news - Jon Hamm

Mr Hamm in a bankable movie
...... and celebrating the continued success of Top Gun: Maverick.

"It’s the only film to be number one on Memorial Day and number one on Labor Day," Hamm shared proudly of the Tom Cruise starrer. "That’s unprecedented in many ways. It’s one of the only top five [films] that doesn’t have somebody in a cape or on a spaceship. It’s a story about real people, it’s got a lot of emotional resonance, people are really responding to it."
"And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer movie," he added, praising the film's cast and creative team. "It’s so nice to see that happen to that younger generation of actors too, who really get to experience this and build on it and have their career blossom because of it."

The former Mad Men actor is teaming up with NBC Sports in a teaser spot for Thursday night’s NFL Kickoff Game between the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 8.......
........The 90-second spot puts Hamm in a production studio, having the actor explain that if the Rams’ 2021 season was a movie, the story would have ended with the team winning the Super Bowl. But instead, as is Hollywood tradition, it’s time to deliver another hit.
The spot will run across digital and social media on Tuesday afternoon, making its linear debut during the game broadcast Thursday night.

Interview With Jon Hamm & Director Greg Mottola for Confess, Fletch


Confess, Fletch: Jon Hamm & Greg Mottola


There’s also “Confess, Fletch,” a new adaptation of Gregory Mcdonald’s mystery novel series that stars Jon Hamm. After “Orphan: First Kill,” “Fletch” marks another hybrid release experiment for Paramount, which has debuted the whodunnit on video-on-demand while also bowing it in 516 locations. Though the studio hasn’t released home entertainment numbers, the theatrical results weren’t pretty. The film grossed $96,000 on its opening day, marking a rough $186 per location average.
budget:$20 million
bad numbers for the movie, he is producer, it's time to go to Stern to talk about girlfriend and kid, going commando, Paul Rudd, mother death, Mad Men to have some headlines.....
 Director Greg Mottola revealed that the “Mad Men” Emmy winner gave back 60 percent of his salary to help finance three extra days of filming on the indie project. Mottola also gave up a portion of his own salary to extend the shoot.
According to Mottola, the money that Miramax executive Bill Block was able to put up for the film only covered 27 days of shooting. When Mottola and Hamm went out to find extra funding to bring the shoot to 30 days, they were rejected by every financier.

“Everyone said, ‘I don’t know that this kind of comedy works in this day and age,'” Mottola said. “They just had a kind of like, ‘Who’s Fletch? I don’t think anyone cares anymore.’

So, basically, what we did is Jon gave back 60 percent of his salary to the budget,” the director continued. “I gave back some of my salary, not as much as Jon because he’s richer than me and I’ve got three kids. And we bought three more days of shooting. We got it up to 30 days in Boston and one day in Rome. And we said, fuck it, we’re insane, we’re dumb. We’re going to make this movie. And then Miramax really supported us, creatively. They didn’t fight us on people we wanted to cast.”
