1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation. Well, hello, how nice to talk 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: to you, and this movie is any crew is an 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: amazing thing, and your first directorial debut. I remember reading 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: an interview with David Lean, who directed Lawrence of Arabia, 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: and he said, on the first day he turned up, 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: there's thousands of extras looking at him and he thought, 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: oh God, what do I do now? Did you have 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: a moment like that on your first day? 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: Uh? 10 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 3: Not my first days. I make sure my first day 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: was exactly what I needed to be, but there was. 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: It was definitely a moment I guess when you have 13 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: your your cast and your crew and you know, and 14 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 3: everybody's looking at you like, all right, what are we 15 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 3: doing next? Even in moments of like you know when 16 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 3: you have to pivot and you have to adapt to 17 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 3: the situation. Okay, cool, this person didn't show up on time, 18 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: or that thing that you need is not there for 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: the shot. Okay, so where do we do? We got 20 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 3: to shoot something. I think in those moments is like 21 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 3: where you really feel the most alive and problem solving 22 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: and figuring out whatever you got to do to get 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 3: get the job done. But as a whole you know, 24 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: I think just you know, showing up the set every 25 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: day was was a dream man, It was. 26 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 4: It was. 27 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. 28 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: How did you feel as an actor stepping into the 29 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: role again for the third time. Did your body go, 30 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: oh God, here we go again, or does your body 31 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: like getting revved up to play this role. 32 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: I think it's both. I think as I get older, 33 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: this is not the same. You know, I think I'm 34 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: not twenty five years old anymore, you know, So it's 35 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 3: like like that, it's a difference thirty thirty six and 36 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: twenty five. There is a difference when it comes to 37 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: get ship. So you know, I think, you know, for me, 38 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: you know, I'm used to it. So, I mean, I 39 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 3: know the you know, the formula, you know, I know 40 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: the diet, I know you know, you know, you know, 41 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: the sleep they're working out and the water. I get 42 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: what it takes to change your body. But this time, 43 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: with the amount of time that I had to actually 44 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: do that compared to the other movies, was cutting half 45 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: was cutting you know in the third actually, so so 46 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: it was it was tough this time around. 47 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 48 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 4: We asked Jonathan just before we expec to you about 49 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: what happened to Truckie in this one, because there's been 50 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: a conjecture about where he goes. He guys to Canada 51 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 4: to look for his son or he's this indication that 52 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 4: he might have passed away, and he ducked and weaved 53 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 4: the question. He said, oh, no, well you should ask 54 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: Michael that when he comes on. That's what he said. 55 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: He told that, I told him. I'm told I told 56 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: him to ask you. He said, no, I mean, I mean, 57 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: I mean, let's be you know, listen, this is this 58 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 3: is a this is a is a Cree franchise, right, 59 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: you know, it's you know, you know, very much so. 60 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: The first two films was a Donna's figuring out his 61 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: own last name of what he wanted to accept, and 62 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: very much so about Rocky and Apollo. You know, same 63 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: thing in the second film. You know, it's really about 64 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: him coming out of Apollo's you know, shadow and becoming 65 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: his own. In this movie, it's you know, at some 66 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: point you have to tell the story of Creed, you know, 67 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 3: and you have to continue that, you know, moving toward 68 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: that experience and that in that black experience. You know 69 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, The experience of you know, what a 70 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: Donna's Creed might be going through at that time, and 71 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: that that childhood trauma you know, what happened in this past. 72 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: So this is kind of like a origin story of sorts, 73 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, for Donna's Creed and Dammi and Anderson. So 74 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: we had to go back to those childhood traumas, those uh, 75 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: those you know, those transformative years that that we that 76 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: we all have as children, that we carry with us. 77 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: Some we want to forget, some are really too painful, 78 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: some we don't want to address, and we kind of 79 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: move on. But at some point you got to talk 80 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: about those feelings getting in the you know, toxic maxillinity 81 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: and and the frameworks of our story. That's and that's 82 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: what we felt like was needed for this franchise to 83 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: move forward. 84 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a very very modern taught lesson of what 85 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: it is to be a man to start to think 86 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: about those things exactly. 87 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, tell them and you're not stuck at in the 88 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: desert yelling at people through a bullhorn, which is pretty good.
