Wrestling and movie fans mixed and mingled, competing for a good spot to check out The Rock at the World Premiere of "The Rundown," an action comedy directed by Peter Berg.

In addition to The Rock, "The Rundown" cast - including Seann William Scott, Rosario Dawson, Ewen Bremner, Ernie Reyes Jr., Jon Gries, and director Peter Berg - attended the star-studded event held September 22, 2003 at Universal Studios, CA. Mobbed by the media, "The Rundown" stars graciously answered questions before settling in to watch the movie.

In "The Rundown," Seann William Scott stars as Travis, a wise-cracking wheeler-dealer whose father commissions Beck (The Rock) to travel to Brazil and bring his troublemaking son home. When casting the role of Travis, the filmmakers were concerned about finding an actor who would be the perfect foil for The Rock, as well as have onscreen chemistry with the wrestler-turned-actor.

When discussing the casting choice, producer Karen Glasser explains, "You will see a Seann William Scott that you haven't seen before. He's not goofy, though Travis is slightly half-cocked. I think what's fun about him is that there is something always slightly unexpected about what he's going to do. Seann is fearless in terms of casting himself out there and seeing what happens."

Can you talk about your experience working on "The Rundown?"
The whole experience was really fantastic. It was a chance for me to do something a little different. [The Rock] is a great guy and the action that he does was amazing. It was great.

How would you describe your onscreen fight with The Rock?
I wouldn't call it fighting because he puts me on my butt quite a bit. He beats me up quite a bit.

Just how friendly did those monkeys get?
Well, you are going to have to ask The Rock because I didn't get any monkey love.

None?
I did in my trailer during lunchtime but you have to talk to the monkeys about that one (laughing).

How difficult was it hanging upside down and how long did you have to do that?
It was annoying. We shot it for like three days but it was okay. [It was] not too bad.

Do you think there will be a sequel?
I hope so.
