00:00 It's this is another it's like an original film going to cinemas
00:03 But at the moment where you know, I guess people are talking about Furiosa not doing so well or the Fall guy that kind of thing
00:09 I mean you as a you've made blockbusters you you're making you've made Tron Ares
00:14 I was actually on set of that this year funnily enough. Oh, and which was a lot. Oh, did we wait briefly?
00:19 Yeah, good and I mean where does
00:23 Where do you think the future of cinema is in those kind of blockbusters then or these kind of more interesting biopic type films?
00:30 Well, what's the key? What's the future making good movies? Okay, I'm maybe that's naive. Yeah, but I
00:37 feel that
00:41 You know, we have to keep making good movies of all types
00:45 And it is it right now it can it can feel a little brutal
00:50 I think you know and we have to get back with we've had a pandemic we have we've had the strikes. I
00:55 Just feel that you know
00:58 I
01:00 Think last summer we saw a glimpse of what it can be
01:03 You know with Barbie and Oppenheimer and like so vastly different movies
01:07 Yeah, and people just like it becomes of you know, and I I felt it felt so good
01:13 You know to go go to the cineplex and see a packed
01:18 Cineplex, so so I feel we just have to like that's my art form
01:23 I just have to keep doing it as best as we can and and I and I think there's with there's a lot of
01:30 Amazing movies on the horizon and and I hope people will go and see young woman in the sea and you know
01:36 but and and keep going I think it's it's
01:41 it's it's
01:44 It's you know, it's
01:48 It's something we have to keep doing hmm, there's a lot of debate around kind of the big-screen experience
01:53 I mean, this is an original film going into cinemas yet
01:56 We've seen stuff like I don't know at the moment like Furiosa the full guy not perhaps people
02:01 You know people speculating about what the future of cinema holds if they're not doing so well
02:06 I mean, what's your you've made so many amazing films only films that have done well
02:10 What do you kind of see is like films that should be getting made and should be going in cinemas that will do well
02:16 I I can't predict that nobody really don't the audience is the only one who knows that
02:21 But it's like you have a kitchen in your home, right?
02:25 Yeah, you like to go out to eat, but you'll go out to eat if it's a really good food
02:30 So you got to be confident that what you're gonna go see is
02:33 Something that that you know is gonna be good or you heard it's really gonna be good
02:38 It's about word-of-mouth and that's what hopefully will will make this movie a success if you write about it and talk about it
02:44 You liked it then you'll encourage people to see it on the big screen because we all want cinemas to continue
02:50 And this is a movie should be sent on a big screen
