Oscar winner Denzel Washington joined his co-stars Rosario Dawson and Chris Pine as they premiered their new film, ‘Unstoppable,’ in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

‘Unstoppable’ finds Denzel and Chris as railroad employees who are tasked with trying to stop a runaway train laden with combustible liquids and poisonous gas from destroying a city. Rosario plays a train dispatcher in the action film.

“If you’re going to be the only woman in a movie, you might as well be the boss,” Rosario told ET.

Chris revealed a little of what audiences can expect with the new film, saying, “It’s a complete, 100 percent Tony Scott action film.”

Denzel hit the red carpet with his wife Pauletta and had good things to say about his young co-star: “This kid can act. He’s very, very good,” said the actor.

We asked the esteemed thespian to give his thoughts on the level of privacy that celebrities are entitled to, but Denzel revealed that he does not consider himself to be a celebrity: “Celebrity is a widely used term now,” Denzel said. “I’m just an actor that people like.”

The film hits theaters on November 12.

“I don’t think I ever will look at a train the same way,” said Rosario Dawson, who found a new respect for railroad workers while shooting the movie.

‘Unstoppable’ revolves around a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine), who are trying to stop a runaway train carrying toxic chemicals before it derails.

“It’s really remarkable that this happened,” Rosario told us about the film, which was inspired by true events. “It’s something that’s never been done before and probably will never be done again.”

Pine told us that the story wasn’t the only remarkable part of working on the movie, calling the opportunity to work with some of his “heroes,” Denzel and director Tony Scott, “an incredible experience.”

“One of the first movies I ever watched repeatedly was ‘Top Gun’ and one of the first times I cried watching a movie was ‘Glory,’ so the two men that I can remember early on in my life making a big impact on my career were Denzel Washington and Tony,” said Chris.

During the casting process, Denzel proposed that Chris be chosen for the movie and complimented the young actor’s abilities, saying, “He’s good.”

We asked Denzel if he expected his children to follow in his footsteps.

“One of my children is an actress,” Denzel said. “She’s studying, and I told her, ‘You’re going to learn on the stage first,’ and she’s working on her first play right now.”

The Oscar winner told us that all of his children are film buffs, but he hasn’t pushed them in one direction or the other: “Whatever it is they want to do, that’s what I want them to do,” said the actor.

‘Unstoppable’ slams into theaters November 12.
