Harriss: This is absolutely
thrilling. First time ever that we've had a movie premier and clearly it's, I
think, the biggest premiere our company's ever done - certainly the number of
stars that are coming..
LP: And this is an exciting week as Tuesday we start the X Games Xperience.
Harriss: Absolutely. Did you go over there today and see some of the teasers
with the half pipe? We were doing a few little teasers today and the guests were
going wild.
LP: All this looking forward to the next couple of years and the 50th.
Harriss: Yes, and every day in between. Thanks for coming.

LP: What was it like to play a part in a big Disney
blockbuster?
Davenport: Kind of fun, kind of surreal. You know its nice
to play a character that you kind if open your mouth
and 700 people do what you just said. So yeah I
became a little crazed with the power so there you
go.
LP: Have you experienced the attraction over in
Disneyland?
Jack Davenport: No. I've saved it up for tonight. This is my
first time in Disneyland so its going to be an odd
way to see it for the first time but you know...
LP: Well, welcome. Enjoy the ride.
Davenport: thank you.

LP: You just finished Spy Kids 3,
right?
Sabara: Yes, Spy Kids 3 is going to be amazing. It's so cool.
LP: Is it neat to be a part of the Disney thing of doing radio Disney stuff and
all the other kinds of things?
Sabara: I love Disney and I love Disneyland, it's so cool.
Edner: We love it all.
LP: who are you with?
Sabara: This is Bobby Edner
Edner: I play Francis the Brain in Spy Kids 3.
LP: Is it fun to work with so many kids in the OSS...
Sabara: He isn't in the OSS. It's a little different, you gotta see the movie

LP: How is Spy Kids 3 going?
Alexa Vega: We just finished it. Its awesome so far.
I got to see a little bit of it on the set. They
won't show us too much. They're hiding all the
secrets. It was great working with Sly and Salma. It
was incredible.
LP: What was it like filming the movie in 3D? Was it
different than doing the first two?
Vega: I've gotten that question a lot and filming in
3D I thought was going to be totally different. I
thought that I would, you know, act different and do
what I do all different (moves arms around) but
honestly its everyone behind the scenes that had a
really hard job. They had to make sure all the
camera lenses were perfectly centered, 'cause
there's two different cameras in one.
LP: Is it neat to be part of the Disney machine
where you get to do Radio Disney and be on the
Disney Channel all the time?
Vega: Yeah, I actually really enjoy it. I haven't
really done much for Disney lately 'cause I've been
busy running around. I know Darryl does a lot of
that so he gets to sub in for me.

Keira Knightley: It's great. I mean Pirates of the Caribbean is a swashbuckling adventure so I think anybody will love this film. And I love the ride anyway.

LP: What was it like to compose music for something
that already has a famous score from the attraction?
Klaus Badelt: I never went to Disneyland before. I
never saw, I never took a ride. So we didn't want to
do anything like a Pirate Movie. I looked at Johnny
Depp's character and thought rock and roll let's do
it.
LP: So you wanted to make it your own, take it to
the next level?
Badelt: Yeah, exactly. Like you know the average pirate
movie that's been done before, I mean the
traditional one. Its a new millennium so its just
something new.
