I 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.000 am Ariel casting, and with me, as always is my 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:56.080 super brilliant creative co host Jonathan Strickland. Guys, I really 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.680 wish you could be on this video call. When we 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.200 do this. Ariel really talks with her hands a lot, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.000 and it's just very entertaining to me and it never 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.880 translates over to the podcast. Ariel, as always, I have 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:21.240 a question for you. Okay, your question is and this 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.720 will actually loop back into the episode, believe it or not. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.480 You're familiar with the Dungeons and the Dragons. Correct, I 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.000 might be a little familiar with the dungeons and the dragons. Yes, 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:40.360 if you had to put yourself into a class in 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.680 the Dungeons and the Dragons, like any class you want. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.680 It doesn't have to be one that you think fits 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.880 you right now. You could be any class in the 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.799 real world. Which class do you choose? I would be 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:59.560 a barred barion, a bart so barred barbarian. Yes, yes, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.760 Wait are you do? You only play heavy metal? Do 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.960 you like? Do you like pose for Molly Hatchet album covers? Listen? 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.200 We all know uh well, actually our new listeners may 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.600 not know. I do dabble in the LARPing when it's 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:20.880 not pandemic, and I usually play heavy hitters barbarian type people. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.480 I just like it. It's just it's fun to not 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.800 have to worry about learning too much stuff, fun to 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.600 whack people with a giant foam stick. Yes, but then 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.800 I also I also play music in in you know, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.640 my real life, and then some of my bandmates also 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.840 play with me, so then I end up playing music. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.080 And so bard Baryon is not an actual d and 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.600 d uh class for for anybody who's not familiar, But 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.960 I'm really working to make it one so you get 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.240 multi class. Yeah, what about you, I'm trying to remember 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.240 the rules for D and D and whether Bard is 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.720 allowable as a multi class character. Um, well, I guess 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:04.520 it to ends on the iterations, right. Yeah. You also, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.280 dear listeners, have to remember that when I started playing 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.120 Dudgeons and Dragons, it was after the basic dn D 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.560 set that had been released, but it was when Advanced 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.440 Dungeons and Dragons was a thing before even the second edition. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.560 So I've had a lot of different experiences with dn 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.279 D over the many generations. I would say that out 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:29.520 of all the different classes that have existed throughout the 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.760 various iterations of dn D, I would go with Swashbuckler, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.040 which I recall from Advanced Douges and Dragons second edition. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.800 It was in the Fighters Manual where you got like 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.560 a supplemental manual to the game, and it had a 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.400 whole bunch of different subclasses of fighters and swashbucklers essentially 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.800 pirate or musketeer type character. But the other option I 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.320 would have gone with, if I go with just the 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.440 basic ones, is also barred, not because I'm particularly musical, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:02.440 but because I'm irritating and rarely helpful. I don't think 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.720 that about you at all. You're very helpful, and I 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.360 enjoy being around. That's why you and I are in 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.720 a party together and you want to hang out with me. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.320 So I'm glad we have that question settled. And today 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.120 we're going to be talking a lot about movies and 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.559 what has been going on throughout the pandemic and how 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.920 it's affected movies. Just as we talked about television previously, 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.359 now we're talking about film. And this is also a 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.039 moment for us to acknowledge that are our wonderful producer, Tori. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.599 She has a background in film, she went to film school, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.000 so I'm sure this is one of those things that 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.159 she feels particularly passionate about as we are looking at 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.640 how the world of film is changing as a result 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.600 of the the health crisis. But we're gonna start off 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.520 by talking about specific movies and what's been going on 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.920 with them. Some of them have have seen their released, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.520 its shuffle around a bit, and and specifically giggy movies 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.200 that were excited about. So you know, we're not always 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.040 going to talk about TV and movies, but that's what 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.440 we're doing today, all right, So I think we should 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.760 start with the Batman, the Batman, not just the Batman, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:21.360 the Batman. The Batman with Robert Pattinson, um because they 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.520 went back to filming during during the pandemic, and then 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.880 they immediately shut down because Robert Pattinson had COVID. Yeah, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.960 this was one of those examples we were talking about 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:36.040 in that last episode about how depending upon who gets 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.800 affected and and and how often they're around other people. Uh, 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.440 a COVID case can shut down a production for a 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.440 couple of weeks. Now, in this case, you're talking about 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.920 the lead actor, So obviously that's going to affect things. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.320 But if it if it was like a day player, 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.920 like a one line person, they might just get replaced, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.520 right if if and if they were able to determine, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.200 oh well, that person wasn't around enough people for that 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.560 to be a potential problem. So it was originally going 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:11.880 to come out on October. In October, and now currently 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:16.720 they've pushed that back to March of twenty two, and 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.800 uh Dune, which was going to come out a little earlier, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:25.320 is now moving into the Batman's original time launch window. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.080 And June was supposed to come out this year is 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:34.160 supposed to be a Christmas present. The spice must flow, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.920 but it must flow a little later than when we 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.320 intended Yeah, that's that's a that's a bummer. I mean, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.680 it's part of this is obviously because of delays in production. 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.920 Part of it is due to just making the strategy 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.200 of when your tent pole films are going to launch, 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.120 and and it's also a lot of hedging your bets 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.520 and wondering like when are you going to be able 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.840 to make the biggest impact, When will will theaters be 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.080 open by then? We'll talk a lot more about theaters 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.680 later in this episode. Yeah, and you know that's not 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.560 the only one. Matrix is also being pushed back. Matrix 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.240 is being moved up. This one's actually they finished that 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.920 one earlier and so it's been moved up to December one, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.240 but originally it was supposed to come out in the 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:30.160 spring of two. I'm excited about Matrix four, although I 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:36.280 never saw the third Matrix movie. I so just my 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:42.280 very personal opinion, I there are only a few movies 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.000 that once they get to the third I'm like, yeah, 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.200 this is still super awesome, and Matrix is one of 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.640 those that just didn't hit that benchmark for me. Well, 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.560 Matrix two is why I didn't see Matrix three. Okay, 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.800 Like I loved the first film, I thought it was 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:01.760 really interesting, really innovative. It was the second DVD I 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.720 ever bought, which I think is I think a lot 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.240 of people Matrix is the first. Yeah. Uh, the first 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.160 first DVD I ever bought was South Park, Bigger, Longer, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.680 and uncut. So I wouldn't. I wouldn't. That's That's a 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.480 fantastic musical. But Matrix, for I am still kind of 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.000 excited about it because I want to see what the 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.560 new vision is for that world. I didn't like the 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.040 way Matrix to unfolded. I felt like a lot of 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.720 the things I thought I understood about the first film 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.959 I was totally off base about, and instead of being 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.120 excited by that, I was discouraged, which is why I 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.040 never bothered to see the third one, because I was 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.160 just like, this feels like it took a left turn 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.880 and I really wanted to see what was straight ahead. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.440 So I got I was like, I'm out, um, but 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.960 I do. I do wanna see how that goes. And 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.840 of course, I mean, anytime you can build out the 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.840 mythology of a science fiction world, I think that can 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.000 be exciting. Yeah, if if you just want to explore 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.200 more of the Matrix world, have you watched The Animatrix. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.360 I have not, and that was one of those that 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.160 I really wanted to check out because I kept hearing 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.319 that at least half of the entries in The Animatrix 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.720 were really good and the other half were you know, 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.520 different people had different reactions to Yeah, I mean, I 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.840 would agree, but it also helps you kind of explore 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.360 that world more. You expect it to be a left 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.400 turn sort of or at least a bunny trail. But 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.880 back to Batman is not the The Batman, sorry, is 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.320 not the only superhero movie being pushed back. Uh, the 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.520 Flash is also being pushed back. Shazam two is being 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:47.000 pushed back, and then Black Adam sadly not being pushed back. 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:52.800 It was taken off, which I just want to say, like, 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.400 I enjoy Shazam, but I was really watching it. Let's 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.920 be honest here to myself, true to myself. For Black 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.559 Adam to come in, because that's Dwayne Johnson, Dwayne the 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:18.079 Rock Johnson, what the Rock who I was very excited 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.960 to see his Black Adam. So that's disappointing. I hope 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.000 they bring it back in a future time. I mean, obviously, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.280 as as we were just alluding to the pandemic has 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.600 made it much more complicated for these these companies that 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:37.080 have had extensive, like launch plans that are laid out 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.000 to be like a decade out. Disney has done this 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.520 with the Marvel Films, not to mention some other ones 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.800 we'll talk about in just a second, but uh, you know, 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.679 clearly something like this throws a wrench into all of that, 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.120 because again, productions are more complicated and you're not really 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.439 sure if you're even gonna have theaters to release two 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.520 by the end of it. Yeah. The weird one for 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.560 me though, because Black Adam is not the only movie 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.079 from that studio slate that has been dropped all together. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.360 They've also dropped the Minecraft movie. To me, I'm I'm 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.079 thinking that's when it's perfect to making Quarantine, because it's 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.240 all I would imagine. It would all be C g 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.319 I and voice actors. I haven't heard much about the 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.000 Minecraft movie. You have not, but I was really hoping 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.319 it was going to be a live action film starring 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.080 Patton Oswald with a pick ax. I would, yeah, I 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.440 would watch that. I would watch that very very hard. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.720 And I just didn't even know there was a Minecraft 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.680 movie in production until I read that so we read 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.520 an article in Variety that had all this information in 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:40.120 it about the different films that have been affected by 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.199 the pandemic, and then we got the thing that leads 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.559 into where I asked the question at the beginning of 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.319 the episode something I'm also excited to see what people 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.800 do with. So, yeah, this is one. I didn't realize 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.040 that there was a Dungeons and Dragons movie currently in 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.720 development until I was doing research on films that had 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.520 been impacted by the lockdown and I saw that one 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.680 of them that was pushed back was Dungeons and Dragons, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.959 and I thought, really, they're going to try and make 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.040 another one of those. Well, I mean, they've been talking 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.760 about it forever. So for me, it's not that I 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.640 didn't know that there was a Dungeons and Dragons movie 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.840 and development, it's that I didn't know one had actually 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.080 taken purchase. I mean we even heard Joe Meganello. I 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.960 think I said that right, Uh wanted to make a 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.760 D and D movie. He's a big D and D fan. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.640 We know that Vin Diesel is a big D and 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.960 D fans, so it was only a matter of time. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.920 It's just the past ones have not been exception of 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:40.760 the cartoon have not been the best so most fun 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.520 to watch. One thing I think is interesting is that 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.160 a lot of the people who you would associate with 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.760 actually doing a D and D movie, as in these 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:52.280 are people who are either associated with with loving the 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.360 game or loving like video games, things like like Henry 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.400 cavill and stuff, people like that. They're all these huge 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:03.240 beefy dudes, which is which is funny too, Like, like 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.839 I think of the gut people I played DND with, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.560 we none of us were huge beefy dudes. Um so no, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.400 but you might have pretended that you were. But these 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:16.120 guys are gonna have to pretend. Like I would want 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.040 a D n D movie where half the film is 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.440 taking place in the real world and you see the 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.080 real people who are playing the characters. So I mean, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.320 but if you've got a big beefy dude playing a character, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.360 you want to see the people playing the game playing 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.000 the characters. I see what you're saying. Didn't they do 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.600 that in the last DND movie that didn't go. Honestly 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.480 don't know. I stopped. I it didn't have Richard O'Brien 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.920 in it, so I was out, all right. I couldn't 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.640 do that fair enough. So we don't know much about 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.480 this D and D movie other than the fact that 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.960 it was supposed to release in one and is now 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.480 pushed to May two. Try saying that five times past, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.440 because it's not that hard. But there are lots of 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.560 speculations of people that they've been pursuing to be in it. 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.600 Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Chris Pratt, Fan diesel, Vin Diesel Yeah, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:12.160 Matthew McConnaughey, Jamie Foxx, Joel Ledgerton, Dave Battista, Jeremy Renner, 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.880 Johnny Depp. A lot of them have worked in fantasy 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.840 and sci fi genres, so it's not that they're unusual too, 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.960 they're unfamiliar to those genres. But Luper did make an 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.320 assumption or post a question, and I wonder what you 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.160 think about it, Jonathan. They said, are they looking at 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.920 all these people to pare them down to one leading man? 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.040 Or are they looking at all of these people to 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.920 be leading men? Because each is going to play a 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.720 different character type and a party is usually made up 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.320 of leading men, which I think would be fantastic. I'd 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.200 love to see each of them take their own style 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.000 of acting and preferred genre and put it into their 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.360 D and D party character. I mean, I imagine it's 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.960 going to be it's going to be an ensemble piece. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.880 If it's not an ensemble piece, then it's not really 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.720 Dungeons and Dragons, right, So I mean, like it might 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.080 as well be any fantasy film if you have it 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.240 where there's one principal lead and then a bunch of 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.880 supporting characters, you could you don't have to have the 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.680 D and D. You know. Uh, I p attached to 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.600 it at all because really, when I think of Duchess 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.760 and Dragons, I think of that that party experience, And honestly, 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.440 I would like to see an all women cast, uh, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.040 and just bring all the actresses from Bridesmaids in and 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.920 do a D and D movie. Okay, an aerial too, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.640 an Ariel. I mean, I have no doubt it'll be 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.000 an ensemble cast. It's just whether it's an ensemble of 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.480 like a big name and a bunch of lesser known actors, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.280 or an ensemble of all Yeah, I think it'll probably be. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.160 I think they're probably gonna aim. I mean a lot 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.480 of the producers that are attached to this, or people 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.680 who have worked on movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.280 So you look at that and you're like, Okay, well 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.520 you've worked with some ensembles that have some some notable 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.320 people in them. I mean, I think could probably expect 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.480 something along the same lines. And obviously, anytime you're trying 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.040 something like that, the hope is that you can set 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:12.720 things up for another franchise, right, So another like how 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.000 long are you going to go to the well of Marvel, 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.480 d C and Star Wars. You're probably gonna want a 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.880 couple of other things to dip into occasionally as well, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.040 and I think Dudgeons and Dragons is one of those things. Yeah. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.360 Another one of those things is Ghosts Ghostbusters Afterlife. So 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.840 this was supposed to come out, uh in you know, 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:37.639 early at least, but it's had its own delays. It 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.320 recently wrapped shooting as in not like I think it 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.600 was in November of this year that they finally wrapped. Obviously, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:50.639 their whole production was delayed significantly through the pandemic. I mean, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.919 I remember seeing the teaser trailers for Ghostbusters Afterlife like 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.520 almost a year ago, and they hadn't even they still 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.160 had a year to go before they wrapped shooting. Yeah, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.919 and This is a hard one because they do have 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.920 kid actors and and kid actors grow up real fast. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.440 And this one, this one is supposed to come out June, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.560 and this one's from Paramount. We're going to talk a 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.679 little bit more about some strategies that movie studios have 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.439 when it comes to releasing films in the pandemic. What 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.920 Paramount has been essentially doing is, rather than holding onto 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:31.000 its movies, selling off those films to various streaming services. Yeah. 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.119 Something else I am sure I will enjoy when it 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.840 eventually comes out is The Wicked movie. I've never actually 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:45.560 seen the stage play, now, you know. And I lived 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.760 with a roommate who adored it, so I've heard all 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.040 of the music. I just haven't never defied gravity on 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:58.800 multiple occasions, defied gravity and and defied societal expectations for myself. 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.240 I mean, that's that's the your go to. Yeah, So 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.480 this was this was originally supposed to come out um 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:09.920 next December, so the December, but that obviously hasn't happened. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:11.480 I mean, as far as I know, they haven't even 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.320 begun production on this. The director who was attached to 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.280 the project had to exit, Stephen Daldry, because he had 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.800 scheduling conflicts because the delays had pushed this so far back. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.480 So as far as I know, it's still planned. Uh, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.040 there's I haven't heard of a new director being attached 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.400 to it, largely because again, it's hard to plan things 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.840 when you're in the middle of a pandemic. But this 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.360 is a This is a bummer for people who who 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.240 like movie musicals. Yeah, yeah, you know, And I do 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.800 appreciate Daldry for stepping down. You know, it wasn't out 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.600 of malice. It was simply he couldn't turn it around 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.840 in the time they wanted. And I appreciate him saying, 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.600 you might find find somebody who can give you a 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.040 better product for the time frame you he he said 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.720 that it was an amicable parting. It was just you know, 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:03.280 it's just business. Also just business. I'm kind of excited 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.479 because Jurassic to Park Dominion, it feels like it's taking 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.119 all of the previous Jurassic parks and mashing it all 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.800 up together, which it is, uh, and I'm very excited 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:17.240 about it. Uh to see all of those actors altogether, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.480 the Jurassic World and the Jurassic Park, I'm I'm curious 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.280 to see if once again we will have a plot 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.920 that's so stupid about making dinosaurs as weapons, as if 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:33.080 that would somehow be more effective than I don't know weapons. Uh, 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.520 it's it's Jurassic Park dominion. They're all going to be 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.040 wearing pith helmets, pith helmets and top hats and monocles 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.919 the dinosaurs, uh, and and playing parliament. I'm fine with that. 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:50.960 So yeah, this movie was an enormous effort. It took 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.320 a year and a half from pre production to rapping, 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.200 and that's with it being the first movie to come 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.960 back to production after every go that that was the 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.000 very first film, major film to go back into production 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:10.280 after the initial lockdown. According to the producers, they administered 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:15.600 approximately forty thousand COVID tests throughout the length of the 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:20.959 production process. Once they came back online. Apparently, the the 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:25.520 COVID testing added somewhere around eight million dollars to the 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:29.040 film's budget um, just just to make sure that they 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.240 were doing things in a way that wasn't going to 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.240 put anyone at risk. They also had hand washing stations 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.520 and temperature stations and doctors on set. They worked with 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.119 a private health company to make sure that their set 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:46.480 was as safe as they could possibly make it, which 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.200 is fantastic. And then they all lived in the bubble, 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.240 which mean they didn't really get to see their family. 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:52.520 You know, sometimes when you're shooting a film, if you've 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.760 if you've got a period of time where you're not working, 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.359 you can go visit your family for a little bit 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.040 if they're not nearby. These people couldn't do that. They 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.760 all had to be quarantined together. But in reading the 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.000 article from Deadline, it sounds like that made them a 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:09.240 lot closer and so I'm really interested to see how 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.600 that affects the actor's performances in this movie, because you've 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.119 got that extra level of vulnerability when you're living with 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.159 somebody day in day out. For that, it made me 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:20.080 think of the stories about the filming process for What 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:23.879 Hot American Summer, because everyone actually stayed at that summer camp, 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:28.480 and so through the process of staying there, they all 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.359 got like ridiculous and silly, and it kind of carried 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.159 over into the movie, which obviously is ridiculous and silly. 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.159 So I except for the week that they rented it 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.400 out to the bar Mitzia, So I think I think 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.280 it's like one of those sort of things where it 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.520 is kind of like you almost think of it as 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.400 a sleepaway camp kind of experience, not the movie sleepaway 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.359 Camp that's as a slasher film. But you know different, 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:53.960 don't know what I'm saying. Well, when we come back, 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.600 we're gonna have a little bit more discussion about what 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:02.399 is the future for LM. Not just as we go 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.840 through the rest of the pandemic and out the other side, 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.280 but but moving forward from there. And we've got a 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.440 lot to talk about with that. But let's take a 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:18.560 quick break. Teething can be a real nightmare for your 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.840 little ones. So are you looking for the best relief 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.959 to soothe teething pain?
