WEBVTT - Jean chats with the Reminiscence cast!

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:10.110
<v Speaker 1>Gene drives you home on cartoons, cartoons. Q I scrolled

0:00:10.110 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>back furiously on my instagram to 2013. I found a

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.950
<v Speaker 1>picture of us wolverine red carpet and stole. I was

0:00:16.950 --> 0:00:21.270
<v Speaker 1>in the media box. That was eight whole years ago.

0:00:21.270 --> 0:00:22.030
<v Speaker 1>Can you see

0:00:26.750 --> 0:00:28.890
<v Speaker 2>remember when we used to be able to stand that

0:00:28.890 --> 0:00:29.700
<v Speaker 2>close together.

0:00:29.830 --> 0:00:33.019
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that crazy? I mean this is unheard of right now,

0:00:33.020 --> 0:00:33.470
<v Speaker 1>isn't it?

0:00:34.140 --> 0:00:35.540
<v Speaker 2>It's good to see you again.

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.870
<v Speaker 1>Good to see you again Hugh. Now you've just grown

0:00:38.870 --> 0:00:43.410
<v Speaker 1>from strength to strength. Congratulations on reminiscence. What was it

0:00:43.409 --> 0:00:45.890
<v Speaker 1>about this role that made you want to take it up?

0:00:45.900 --> 0:00:49.339
<v Speaker 2>Lisa joy the writer director who just from meeting as

0:00:49.340 --> 0:00:50.610
<v Speaker 2>soon as I met her, I

0:00:50.610 --> 0:00:51.530
<v Speaker 1>kind of knew I wanted

0:00:51.530 --> 0:00:53.570
<v Speaker 2>to do the film. She, she pitched the film before

0:00:53.570 --> 0:00:56.350
<v Speaker 2>I read it. She pitched it. She showed me some art.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.260
<v Speaker 2>She told me why she wrote it. She told me

0:00:59.260 --> 0:01:01.010
<v Speaker 2>she'd always had me in mind, which I didn't believe

0:01:01.010 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>at first, but then she made me believe it and

0:01:04.130 --> 0:01:06.780
<v Speaker 2>she had like a confidence to her and an intelligence

0:01:06.780 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>and

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I know this is her first feature film. She's written

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:12.980
<v Speaker 2>on a lot of things and done Westworld of course.

0:01:12.980 --> 0:01:15.510
<v Speaker 2>So it felt like she had done 10 movies. I

0:01:15.510 --> 0:01:17.750
<v Speaker 2>just knew I just had them feeling in my bones

0:01:17.750 --> 0:01:20.630
<v Speaker 2>that playing a character like Nick, which was something different

0:01:20.630 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to anything I've played in a movie

0:01:22.940 --> 0:01:25.150
<v Speaker 2>that she had written and directed was going to be

0:01:25.150 --> 0:01:27.630
<v Speaker 2>something original and fresh, Not just for me but for

0:01:27.630 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the audience.

0:01:28.340 --> 0:01:28.630
<v Speaker 2>Yeah,

0:01:28.630 --> 0:01:30.820
<v Speaker 1>I heard that. Like if you didn't play the part,

0:01:30.819 --> 0:01:34.009
<v Speaker 1>she would have not wanted to do the movie. I

0:01:34.020 --> 0:01:36.850
<v Speaker 2>actually, yeah, I actually said that like she handed me

0:01:36.850 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the script at the end of our meeting and I said,

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.510
<v Speaker 2>come on brad pitt said no, right. And she said no.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, I'll prove it to you. I said, but

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.990
<v Speaker 2>how can you prove it to me? She goes, if

0:01:45.990 --> 0:01:47.990
<v Speaker 2>you say no, I'm actually not doing the movie. And

0:01:47.990 --> 0:01:48.460
<v Speaker 2>I went,

0:01:48.740 --> 0:01:52.300
<v Speaker 2>really? She has no. And I said that's a lot

0:01:52.300 --> 0:01:55.620
<v Speaker 2>of pressure on me reading this thing and it's just

0:01:55.620 --> 0:01:59.900
<v Speaker 2>the truth, luckily I liked it. Amazing

0:01:59.910 --> 0:02:03.970
<v Speaker 1>reminiscences about navigating your memories. So if you could get

0:02:03.970 --> 0:02:08.220
<v Speaker 1>into that contraption yourself right now, which part of your

0:02:08.220 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>past would you find yourself

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.860
<v Speaker 1>looking at?

0:02:11.870 --> 0:02:14.710
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get on my bike Singapore. I'm going to

0:02:14.710 --> 0:02:17.900
<v Speaker 2>go down and say a prayer that temple, I'm gonna

0:02:17.910 --> 0:02:22.100
<v Speaker 2>go to the local cafe and order some kaya toast,

0:02:22.110 --> 0:02:25.710
<v Speaker 2>have my coffee. I was just such an awesome morning.

0:02:25.710 --> 0:02:27.260
<v Speaker 2>I just, I loved my time there

0:02:27.540 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>sit in that crazy pool on the top of that

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.580
<v Speaker 2>crazy building. I can't remember what it's

0:02:32.580 --> 0:02:32.940
<v Speaker 1>called.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.990
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Anyway, so that's where I went to immediately. But

0:02:37.990 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>honestly I would love to hold my kids again like

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.100
<v Speaker 2>his babies smell the tops of their head,

0:02:44.940 --> 0:02:47.500
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to squeeze in one more quick question, Favorite

0:02:47.500 --> 0:02:50.269
<v Speaker 1>part of the movie for you to film, which was

0:02:50.270 --> 0:02:51.260
<v Speaker 1>your favorite bit

0:02:51.340 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 2>whenever I was on set with Rebecca Ferguson and Tanda

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.579
<v Speaker 2>Wayne Newton together and lisa Joy who was always there.

0:02:58.580 --> 0:03:01.859
<v Speaker 2>The three of them are wickedly funny. When I say wicked,

0:03:01.860 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean cheeky, naughty and funny, hilarious. It was that,

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.660
<v Speaker 2>that was always my favorite bit.

0:03:07.940 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much hue

0:03:09.850 --> 0:03:11.020
<v Speaker 2>and good to see you. Really

0:03:11.020 --> 0:03:12.950
<v Speaker 1>good to see you all the best for everything. Okay,

0:03:12.950 --> 0:03:13.609
<v Speaker 1>lots of love

0:03:13.770 --> 0:03:14.390
<v Speaker 2>to see you soon.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:23.940
<v Speaker 1>The best mix of music class 95 hygiene. I love Singapore.

0:03:23.950 --> 0:03:28.100
<v Speaker 1>You do. We were there with Westworld year before your

0:03:28.110 --> 0:03:31.570
<v Speaker 1>year before last, before this pandemic struck, it was my

0:03:31.570 --> 0:03:36.260
<v Speaker 1>first time. I absolutely loved it.

0:03:36.340 --> 0:03:40.670
<v Speaker 1>Stand away. Really wonderful seeing you. Director lisa said she

0:03:40.670 --> 0:03:44.450
<v Speaker 1>wanted somebody who is tough, yet full of heart for

0:03:44.450 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this film and I think you totally encompassed that in

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the movie. Were you excited to get the call for this?

0:03:49.810 --> 0:03:53.550
<v Speaker 1>I was terrified. I love Lisa so much that I

0:03:53.550 --> 0:03:56.460
<v Speaker 1>was so worried that I wouldn't

0:03:56.540 --> 0:03:58.850
<v Speaker 1>like what if I let her down? That was my feeling,

0:03:58.850 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I love her. And it's one of those things where

0:04:01.210 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>isn't it better just to not in case I did

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.710
<v Speaker 1>let her Anyway, I got over that very quickly because

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>as soon as I got into the costume fittings, I

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>just felt absolutely just inspired and thrilled. And then I

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.890
<v Speaker 1>met you Jackman and it was like, oh, this is just,

0:04:16.900 --> 0:04:18.050
<v Speaker 1>it's a match made in heaven

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.990
<v Speaker 1>Now. The film is about navigating your memories. If you

0:04:20.990 --> 0:04:23.750
<v Speaker 1>could get into that machine right here right now, where

0:04:23.750 --> 0:04:26.010
<v Speaker 1>would you want to go to? There was a coat,

0:04:26.020 --> 0:04:29.729
<v Speaker 1>a mani cote that I think I either left on

0:04:29.730 --> 0:04:32.970
<v Speaker 1>a plane or it may have been in the car

0:04:33.089 --> 0:04:35.710
<v Speaker 1>and it was about 20 years ago and I really

0:04:35.710 --> 0:04:37.460
<v Speaker 1>would like to find out where I left it

0:04:37.890 --> 0:04:39.260
<v Speaker 1>and I'm joking, but

0:04:39.540 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to use it to go and like,

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.250
<v Speaker 1>I would want to use it to try and discover

0:04:43.250 --> 0:04:47.620
<v Speaker 1>stuff that would help people who have messed up so

0:04:47.620 --> 0:04:51.210
<v Speaker 1>many people try and alter history so that some of

0:04:51.210 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the cataclysmic events in our world could perhaps be altered,

0:04:55.930 --> 0:04:57.659
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it is the stuff of many

0:04:57.830 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 1>movies and books, this idea that if we could alter

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:02.150
<v Speaker 1>the past,

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>how would it affect the present? And you always come

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.670
<v Speaker 1>down to, well even the bad things have had consequences

0:05:08.670 --> 0:05:16.970
<v Speaker 1>that have been beneficial. It's a really interesting concept. Hi Daniel,

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:18.380
<v Speaker 2>how are you? I'm

0:05:18.380 --> 0:05:21.180
<v Speaker 1>okay. So we saw a lot of your martial arts

0:05:21.180 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>in this movie

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.860
<v Speaker 1>and I read that you tend to like to do

0:05:23.860 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>all your own stunts. So did you do them all

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.299
<v Speaker 1>for this film?

0:05:27.310 --> 0:05:31.270
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, I mean this, this was not as complicated as,

0:05:31.270 --> 0:05:33.610
<v Speaker 2>let's say something like into the Badlands, I wouldn't say

0:05:33.610 --> 0:05:35.290
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of martial husbands a lot of gunplay,

0:05:35.290 --> 0:05:38.469
<v Speaker 2>like john russell gunplay and so it was a lot

0:05:38.470 --> 0:05:40.339
<v Speaker 2>of fun. Yeah, it was, we, we did all our

0:05:40.339 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>own stunts, including Hugh as well, like with his head

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.980
<v Speaker 2>in that fish tank, when it blows everything. That was

0:05:44.980 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 2>that was you doing everything himself.

0:05:46.730 --> 0:05:50.820
<v Speaker 1>Now, your character ST joe battles Hugh, Jackman's character, nick, Banister,

0:05:50.830 --> 0:05:53.650
<v Speaker 1>what was it like filming the scenes together?

0:05:53.660 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Um it was really interesting, you know, first of all,

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.589
<v Speaker 2>Hugh is a great guy, like he's a triple threat

0:05:58.589 --> 0:06:00.970
<v Speaker 2>who can sing, act and dance. Every actor was jealous

0:06:00.970 --> 0:06:03.380
<v Speaker 2>of him, he played wolverine, all that stuff, but when

0:06:03.380 --> 0:06:05.540
<v Speaker 2>it comes down to like working with him, he is

0:06:05.550 --> 0:06:08.830
<v Speaker 2>really down to earth and really cool and generous also

0:06:08.830 --> 0:06:11.300
<v Speaker 2>as well, like for example when we're doing that fight

0:06:11.300 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>scene with his head in the fish tank, he did,

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.070
<v Speaker 2>he did it himself, we could have done put a

0:06:15.070 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>double in there, we could have put someone else in there,

0:06:17.050 --> 0:06:19.049
<v Speaker 2>but he did it himself and he was wet all

0:06:19.050 --> 0:06:20.860
<v Speaker 2>day long and a lot of actors last to like,

0:06:20.860 --> 0:06:22.950
<v Speaker 2>you know, change out of their clothes and being something

0:06:22.950 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>dry and comfortable, he was like, I'm going to be

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.170
<v Speaker 2>wet anyway, so let's just leave it like this and

0:06:27.170 --> 0:06:29.339
<v Speaker 2>he was wet all day long for like three days straight.

0:06:29.350 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, he's really down there was a really cool

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.580
<v Speaker 2>guy to work with, very easy to work with, great guy,

0:06:33.589 --> 0:06:37.410
<v Speaker 1>great guy. Indeed. Now if you could get into that machine,

0:06:37.410 --> 0:06:40.060
<v Speaker 1>you know, and go back to a specific memory yourself

0:06:40.140 --> 0:06:43.470
<v Speaker 1>right now, where would you, where would you go, Daniel?

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.390
<v Speaker 2>I know most people would be surprised to hear this,

0:06:45.390 --> 0:06:47.270
<v Speaker 2>but I would go back to my high school years

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.150
<v Speaker 2>like 16-18 because I think that was probably

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.500
<v Speaker 2>the most innocent time in my life where you didn't

0:06:53.500 --> 0:06:56.470
<v Speaker 2>have to worry about the future so much, you had

0:06:56.470 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>no responsibilities, I didn't have to make money. I didn't

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.589
<v Speaker 2>have to support anybody. I was living at home with

0:07:00.589 --> 0:07:03.050
<v Speaker 2>my parents. My mom was cooking good food for me,

0:07:03.050 --> 0:07:04.490
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was, it was good times and I

0:07:04.490 --> 0:07:06.310
<v Speaker 2>was hanging out with my friends and had a car,

0:07:06.310 --> 0:07:08.390
<v Speaker 2>I could drive around. So I would go back to

0:07:08.390 --> 0:07:09.260
<v Speaker 2>that period of time

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.170
<v Speaker 1>sounds amazing daniel, One final question. I read that the

0:07:13.170 --> 0:07:16.070
<v Speaker 1>film did not use any green or blue screens and

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.630
<v Speaker 1>use this new technology. Can you tell us a little

0:07:18.630 --> 0:07:19.390
<v Speaker 1>bit about that?

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I was very surprised about that because when we're making it,

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.090
<v Speaker 2>I was like where are the greens beans? What are

0:07:23.090 --> 0:07:24.500
<v Speaker 2>we going to do with that? And they're like, no,

0:07:24.510 --> 0:07:27.140
<v Speaker 2>we have this way to do it. We used some,

0:07:27.140 --> 0:07:29.460
<v Speaker 2>some of these effects on Westworld

0:07:29.540 --> 0:07:31.990
<v Speaker 2>because lisa joy worked on Westworld and so we're going

0:07:31.990 --> 0:07:34.540
<v Speaker 2>to employ those effects on this thing. I'm like, okay,

0:07:34.550 --> 0:07:36.650
<v Speaker 2>which is interesting because as the actor, you don't get

0:07:36.650 --> 0:07:38.740
<v Speaker 2>to see what the movie or the world really looks

0:07:38.740 --> 0:07:40.910
<v Speaker 2>like until the movie comes out. And so when I

0:07:40.910 --> 0:07:43.410
<v Speaker 2>saw it two weeks ago, I was like, wow, amazed,

0:07:43.410 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>just amazed at how they were able to make a future,

0:07:46.090 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Miami in the Future in New Orleans um

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.540
<v Speaker 2>with the practical effects and the effects they were able

0:07:51.540 --> 0:07:52.860
<v Speaker 2>to do on top of that.

0:07:52.870 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Daniel. Real pleasure speaking with you.

0:07:55.570 --> 0:07:57.550
<v Speaker 2>All right, Dean, take care

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>The Best Music Class 95.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Hi lisa, Hi jean, how are you? I'm good. So,

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you wrote, you directed you produced this Baby. I love

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.140
<v Speaker 1>the fact that the story was based off of something

0:08:15.140 --> 0:08:17.910
<v Speaker 1>that you actually experience. What was the push for you

0:08:17.910 --> 0:08:21.380
<v Speaker 1>to make it into this film? You know, I I've

0:08:21.390 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>always been fascinated by memory and I think so many

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.770
<v Speaker 1>people are, it's a way of encapsulating the moments that

0:08:27.770 --> 0:08:32.050
<v Speaker 1>were the most valuable for us. Love stories, uh

0:08:32.140 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>stories of happiness and excitement and I think everybody likes

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.550
<v Speaker 1>to travel back in time to relive those things. So

0:08:38.550 --> 0:08:40.660
<v Speaker 1>I just, I couldn't help it and I was having

0:08:40.660 --> 0:08:42.250
<v Speaker 1>a baby at the time and I knew that I

0:08:42.250 --> 0:08:45.020
<v Speaker 1>would be cherishing that moment forever. So, it all felt

0:08:45.020 --> 0:08:47.290
<v Speaker 1>very top of mind. I heard that you wanted Hugh

0:08:47.290 --> 0:08:50.340
<v Speaker 1>Jackman and Hugh Jackman alone for this movie. If not

0:08:50.350 --> 0:08:52.660
<v Speaker 1>you probably weren't going to do it. Is this true?

0:08:52.740 --> 0:08:55.780
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that was true. I mean, it was my intention,

0:08:55.780 --> 0:08:58.620
<v Speaker 1>that I just felt like it was meant to be creatively.

0:08:58.620 --> 0:09:00.890
<v Speaker 1>I had a very idealistic take on it and that

0:09:00.890 --> 0:09:02.510
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't want to do it, then I had

0:09:02.510 --> 0:09:05.290
<v Speaker 1>to really reevaluate what where my head was at because

0:09:05.290 --> 0:09:08.420
<v Speaker 1>I was so sure that he was my nick Banister. Yeah.

0:09:08.429 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>And he was excellent in it. So you were right

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.069
<v Speaker 1>to go with your gut for sure. The film is

0:09:14.070 --> 0:09:16.610
<v Speaker 1>really apt for our times and people wanting to look

0:09:16.610 --> 0:09:20.750
<v Speaker 1>back pre pandemic days. Did you personally, also during the

0:09:20.750 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>course of making this movie, find yourself doing a lot

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.590
<v Speaker 1>of that? Yeah, I I think that absence is the

0:09:26.590 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>greatest aphrodisiac in some ways when you're unable to touch

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.950
<v Speaker 1>and connect with people in the way that you were,

0:09:32.950 --> 0:09:36.469
<v Speaker 1>it makes you so much more powerfully drawn to them

0:09:36.470 --> 0:09:40.860
<v Speaker 1>and so much more palpably appreciative of what you had.

0:09:40.870 --> 0:09:42.790
<v Speaker 1>And so I hope that after we come out of

0:09:42.790 --> 0:09:45.189
<v Speaker 1>these times, just like after people come out of watching

0:09:45.190 --> 0:09:47.810
<v Speaker 1>the film, if there's any lesson that we learned, it's

0:09:47.809 --> 0:09:51.020
<v Speaker 1>to hold on to those that we love and to

0:09:51.030 --> 0:09:53.490
<v Speaker 1>really cherish the moments of happiness that we have in

0:09:53.490 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 1>this life,

0:09:54.140 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I hear you already have a follow up in mind

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a distant cousin as opposed to an

0:10:00.770 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>outright sequel. Is there anything you can spill about that,

0:10:04.690 --> 0:10:08.929
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot of action, it's very heavy on

0:10:08.929 --> 0:10:11.610
<v Speaker 1>that and there's a new form of action that I've

0:10:11.610 --> 0:10:12.950
<v Speaker 1>been noodling around

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.770
<v Speaker 1>within my head that I'd very much like to bring

0:10:15.770 --> 0:10:18.809
<v Speaker 1>to the screen. We're very excited about that, lovely speaking

0:10:18.809 --> 0:10:20.860
<v Speaker 1>with you, lisa, and really enjoyed the movie.

0:10:20.940 --> 0:10:23.070
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. It was lovely talking with you,

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Gene drives you home on cartoons.
