00:00 When the film was first announced in its early stages,
00:03 fans kind of went really crazy with their theories around the book and who wrote it,
00:07 and a lot of people thought it was Taylor Swift.
00:09 I wondered, as Ellie, how did you feel about those wild things that people were guessing about it?
00:14 Well, I mean, to be perfectly honest, I was not entirely privy to what was happening.
00:23 There were a lot of elements of this project that were very mysterious.
00:28 While we were making it.
00:30 And so Matthew actually said this really funny thing.
00:34 We were just having an interview, and he was like, his daughter came to him and was like,
00:38 "Why didn't you tell me that Taylor Swift wrote the book?"
00:41 And he was like, "Oh, wait, what's happening here?"
00:46 So it's exciting to have something that, you know, where there will be a reveal and all of that.
00:54 And part of the fun is to kind of hear what folks, you know, what their theories are or whatnot.
01:00 But of course, we would never want to like mislead anyone.
01:04 I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift.
01:06 I wish she was involved.
01:07 She's not.
01:08 Are you saying that something on the internet was not true?
01:11 I know, a shocker, shocker.
01:13 But just this one, just this one thing.
01:15 Just this one thing.
01:16 But it was so cool.
01:16 You know, it's just, I just, I love the dedication and excitement of fans.
01:23 And their enthusiasm.
01:25 And of course, you know, their support of her.
01:28 Oh, you know what's funny?
01:30 When we were making it, I was so focused on the job at hand.
01:34 I was just like, "Cool, what are we doing today?"
01:37 Like, I didn't even really give it air.
01:39 But I think it's fun.
01:40 Yeah, I think when you're making it, you don't think about stuff like that.
01:43 But now when we're about to show it to the world, we're about to show a spy movie to
01:47 the world, where the tagline is, "The greater the spy, the bigger the lie."
01:50 And now on the way to showing the world, we're surrounded by all these misdirects and espionage,
01:56 if you will.
01:57 I couldn't think of a better project to be surrounded by such a conspiracy and so many
02:02 different opinions.
02:04 It's perfect for Argyle.
