00:00I am i'm stunned this is this is not something you you really hear about every single day you know this is such a david and goliath type of story because we're a.
00:14I know terrified three was a small lower budget independent film and we were going up against you know two hundred something million dollar.
00:23Comic book juggernauts out there so that's.
00:26That's a fee i never expected to see you know what happened in my life so i'm i'm just floored by it all and grateful for it all it's the fans that made this happen so we're very very grateful to the fans for going out supporting us part of it is.
00:42One is i said is the fans we have a pretty dedicated fan base and that's who we made this movie for we weren't beholden to the studio system we were approached by studios to do a terrifier three and they threw money at us and we turned them down because they wanted to.
01:00Basically compromise integrity of the film and what fans have come to expect from our brand.
01:06And we decide not to do that we want to stick to what the fans wanted and what we wanted to do and we want to have the freedom to make the type of movie.
01:14We want to make it the fans expect of us and i think you know in a way this shows hollywood in some ways that you know we need to start making movies that take risks again.
01:26And start making movies that people have fun watching together because i think that's what's been happening in and theaters recently as people are going less and less to movie theaters because you're not having those.
01:38Big movie experiences anymore and tear for three is one of those big crowd type of reaction movies that you have to see with an audience and you get more out of it that way i was shocked to because you know like the the first joker film i loved i was like this is fantastic.
01:55It's a great work of cinema especially joaquin and his performance was fantastic so i'm like i'm very curious to see why people aren't as crazy about the second one as they were for the first one i'm gonna have to go check it out myself.
