00:00All right, Philip, we're here at the big night, the premiere.

00:05How are you feeling?

00:06What's going through your mind?

00:07It's just great.

00:08It's good to be here.

00:09I think after the writer's strike and all the stuff that's happened in the world, especially

00:11in this industry, it's just amazing to be out.

00:13I feel very privileged to be here and to be meeting people and seeing something that we

00:16worked on get up on the big screen.

00:19Being in a movie is such a long process.

00:21I'm sure that it has a special place in your heart now, right?

00:24So how is this compared to other projects you've been in?

00:27I mean, look, like you said, they're all pretty similar.

00:29You do them and then they kind of disappear into the ether for a while and then you get

00:32a phone call saying, hey, this this one's going to see the light of day.

00:34So let's do it.

00:35Let's go and see it.

00:36And so it's been great to like, you know, the process of making the movie, doing the

00:39ADR, seeing what actually got captured on film and then and then getting together with

00:44everyone and reminding yourselves why you had such a good time.

00:46So did they call you up this morning?

00:48They're like, hey, we're having a premiere after all.

00:49Yeah, it was pretty much that I got on a plane last night and I was like, all right, let's

00:52go down here.

00:53Well, you're here.

00:54You made it.

00:55And we're so happy that you're here.

00:56Thanks.

00:57So what are you guys going to expect walking out of that theater?

00:59Well, look, I mean, it's a big action film.

01:01Neil Marshall's a great director and he collaborated with Charlotte in a fantastic way.

01:06Sean Pertwee got to work on this.

01:08Hoji Fortuna.

01:09We had a really amazing cast.

01:10They were like the three amigos.

01:11We kind of hung out, learned all our stunts together.

01:14And it was just this process of working through the difficulties of covid, but still making

01:18a kick ass movie.

01:19And I think I think they pulled it off without giving anything away.

01:23Tell us a little bit about your character.

01:24Are we going to love him?

01:25Hate him?

01:26Both.

01:27Yeah.

01:28Roberts.

01:29Roberts.

01:30Complicated.

01:31And yeah, definitely both.

01:32And give a shout out to somebody on the crew.

01:33Did you make any friends?

01:34Did you have any funny experiences?

01:35Anything crazy?

01:36Look, Sean Pertwee and Hoji Fortuna, we just had they were my brothers on this movie.

01:40I was away from my wife and kids for like six weeks making this movie.

01:44Didn't get to see them.

01:45And Sean and Hoji were just they were my boys.

01:47We went out and ate meals all the time and traveled together.

01:50And just they were they were so good.

01:52And they're such solid guys.

01:53And I think they do an amazing job in the film as well.

01:55Any advice for up and coming actors who want to be at their own movie premiere?

01:58What would you say?

02:00Look, don't quit.

02:02Enjoy the journey.

02:03It's, you know, the whole lie of arriving.

02:06I mean, this is this is all here right now and it's gone in half an hour.

02:09So just keep working and keep enjoying the process.

02:12And don't forget to make friends along the way and be kind to the people on the way up

02:15because you're going to see him on the way down.

02:17Last question.

02:18What's next for you?

02:19I just finished a Netflix series called Ransom Canyon.

02:22We were down in Albuquerque for the last six months shooting.

02:24It's Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly.

02:26It's an adaptation of a of a Western romance novel, and I think it's going to be a lot

02:29of fun.

02:30All right.

02:31I would agree with that.

02:32That sounds like a lot of fun.

02:33Well, thank you so much for stopping by.

02:34Congrats on your premiere.

02:36Cheers.
