Capitalizing a bit on the recent Michael Rooke(r)naissance, what with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 really pushing the character of Yondu from side-baddie to cuddly antihero fan favorite, I've uploaded Hooper's episode of The Equalizer guest starring the Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Guardians of the Galaxy actor. Click to watch it on Vimeo (hopefully it lasts).
Here's a semi-long interview I like a lot, taken from I am guessing a DVD edition of the film, probably carried over onto one of the Blu-Rays:

11/14/09 - MovieWeb gets my hopes up and reports Guy Pearce and Helena Bonham Carter are joining "Tobe" Hooper's NEW PERIOD DRAMA King's Speech. Not true, of course, they really meant British director and HBO Miniseries John Adams-helmer Tom Hooper.

10/20/09 - FearNet publishes on their website Tobe Hooper's introduction to the recently released Robert Englund book Hollywood Monster.
