Who do you save, Chris Rock or Kevin Hart?
In preparation for Rock's "Top Five," Mr. Moviefone (Kevin Thompson) asked Gabrielle Union the tough questions. Rock may have technically been Union's boss, but would that be enough for her to save him? After all, Union told Mr. Moviefone that Hart did give a toast at her and Dwayne Wade's wedding. (How cool is that?!).
Then, there was Rosario Dawson. The "Top Five" co-star hilariously explained her wish to do "the Christopher Walken sort of thing" and also be the next Samuel L. Jackson. Yup, she even admitted she'd love to do a speech just before a shark eats her.
"Top Five" comes to theaters this Friday, December 12. Check out the exclusive interviews below.

Who's in your top five?
To get ready for Chris Rock's highly-anticipated new movie, Mr. Moviefone (Kevin Thompson) caught up with "Top Five" stars Jb Smoove and Ben Vereen. The results were inspiring -- and hilarious -- as Smoove ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") recounted a crazy story about selling fire extinguishers door-to-door in his youth. And that was after he discussed his lasting love for the cult-classic "Pootie Tang." Some fires just don't go out.
Meanwhile, stage actor Ben Vereen ("Pippin"), who plays Chris Rock's father in the film, discussed the importance of always working on your craft as an artist and being "a life threat" and "an artist giver." Wise words from an industry legend.

It must have seemed completely bizarre to the tourists who happened to be milling about Times Square that night. There, amid the stories-high billboards and glittering screens, the sprawling stores and Broadway theaters, the barrage of costumed characters hustling for tips, there--was a movie star striding through purposefully in a pair of tighty-whitie underwear. This was the extraordinary circumstance that began to be posted on Youtube in June of 2013. Michael Keaton, best known for his lead roles in Batman and Batman Returns, was dashing through Times Square with a small camera crew following his every move. It wasn't a publicity stunt or part of some bizarre reality show. This nearly naked jaunt was part of the shooting requirements of Birdman, the new Alejandro González Iñárritu that is winning rave reviews. Yahoo spoke to Birdman's production designer Kevin Thompson about how the New York theater-set tale accomplished this tricky ...

The film's challenge: the number of tracking shots with hand-held cameras and Steadicams made maintaining the film's continuous shot structure incredibly difficult. And so the editors had to be proactive and creative in collaborating with G. Iñárritu, Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel (Chivo) Lubezki ("Gravity"), production designer Kevin Thompson, Rodeo FX, and Technicolor. They shot the film in only 30 days at the storied St. James Theater in Times Square and on a soundstage in Queens, which served as the backstage, but not in chronological order due to the compressed schedule. Like the director, who is trying to preserve some movie magic, the editors won't divulge how many cuts there are or what the longest shot was, but they do describe how they put us inside the wild and crazy mind of Michael Keaton's former Batman-like superstar. "They blocked everything out and it allowed Alejandro and us to look at scenes before they.
