Exclusiva: Luis Guzman Opens Up About His Latest 'Journey'

By Michael Lopez

There is no denying that Luis Guzman has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. And now, fans are going to get the chance to see it in 3D! That’s right, Luis is entering the third dimension for his new movie Journey 2 and he spoke to us exclusively about the experience.

"I'm feeling really good about this movie," he said. "Journey is good family entertainment. It's fun, visually it looks great, and I'm actually pretty funny in it."

Taking a comic turn, Guzman plays Gabato in the movie, an over-the-top helicopter pilot who winds up crashing on a mysterious island. He's also a proud parent in the film, to none other than Vanessa Hudgens.

"Yea, I play Vanessa's father in the movie," he went on to say. "I know it's kind of funny because we look nothing like each other. But we get along great on screen. She was a lot of fun to work with too."

Luis also shares some scenes with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who he had plenty of praise for. But if you were to ask him about his favorite part of the Journey experience, it would definitely be the locales.

"We shot the movie in Hawaii and it was absolutely beautiful," he added. "Talk about an island paradise! I would go back and shoot another movie there any time they ask me."

Guzman went on to say how his next shooting location is a far cry from the tropical beaches. He's currently wrapping up the border town action flick The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which he seems to be very excited about.

"I've got The Last Stand coming up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rodrigo Santoro," he told us. "It's going to be a BIG action movie. I'm one of the good guys this time, playing a border cop trying to stop an army of bad dudes."

And as if Luis' plate wasn’t full enough, he also took time this week to make a special "journey" to his old New York neighborhood. Guzman paid a visit to the Henry Street Settlement, where he was once a social worker, and dropped off a bunch of Journey-related goodies for the local kids.
