Faber's New Movie Green Rush Out Today
"[Green Rush] is kind of a slow burn. It starts out building the storyline and once the action starts, it ramps up quick and gets very intense. It's the kind of movie where once you know the twists and turns, if you watch it a second time then you'll pick up a lot of the things you didn't the first time, which I love about the movie.
"It's a hot topic right now in marijuana and the perception of it is changing in the world with its availability, on the public side and on the business side. It made for a fun – especially if you're in tune with the industry and being in California everybody's got some friends tied to that industry – and it's pretty intriguing.
"This is the first time [Andre Fili] has done any acting on a big level like this but he's been aspiring to do this kind of stuff. He told me, probably six years ago, that he wanted to get into acting and I told him I'm gonna start doing movies.
"A lot of people don't know him because he's right there on the cusp of being in the title picture but hasn't gotten the big media push that would show the public what an intelligent and talented guy he is on a bunch of different levels.
"This is an inside look on the talent he has and the diversity he has. Fili excels at anything that you can make money on where you have head tattoos and homemade tattoos on your hand. He excels at everything – clothing, acting, fighting.
"I think there's room for both [fighting and acting], especially at how slow these movies are to make. I would love to get back in the cage at some point. I'm not sure if I will as it depends on the kind of offers that come my way and if it sounds like a good time. Fun is important and motivation is important. I have a whole slate of movies we're working on.
"It was literally written for Conor McGregor. I don't know that he would be the guy for the role or if he wants to be an actor. I've kinda teased him and talked to him about it. But I think the script is gonna attract some really great talent and big-name actors.
"[Laughs] We communicate through social media like the rest of the world these days. He called me a 'tryer,' but I think the term is a 'doer,' but maybe that's the Irish translation. I sent him a message, 'Don't be scared homey. The man behind the Art of the KO is coming.'
"I don't know if he has the chops to be the main guy. He seems like he'd be a good actor, but it would be up to the director and wrestling producers and them figuring out what the best recipe would be. But this character reminded me of him the whole way."
Green Rush, from producer Urijah Faber, was released on Digital today.
