00:00 I am also the father of two, though,
00:02 and that aspect of the screenplay just devastated me.
00:05 I mean, there's a moment where there's a montage of messages
00:08 from your character's daughter,
00:09 and it was a visceral punch to the gut.
00:12 And I'm curious if that potential aspect of the screenplay
00:15 was even more compelling than the promise of action.
00:18 - Yeah, no, I mean, that's why you kind of wanna do,
00:21 or why I'm interested in doing these things.
00:23 The spectacle is obvious, what's exciting about it,
00:27 that there's not a lot of dialogue.
00:28 It's really physical, there's lasers, guns,
00:31 there's dinosaurs, but it might,
00:35 I like being in a part of movies
00:38 where the spectacle is nice,
00:41 but it's second to what the story is.
00:44 And if you don't care about the people,
00:45 then obviously you're not gonna care if they're in danger.
00:48 And to be able to do something on a big scale
00:51 that a lot of people can see,
00:53 that's a family movie that you can watch with your kids
00:58 that has these kind of big themes of people processing grief
01:03 and he's been alone for a long time
01:08 with just his thoughts on a ship,
01:10 and she is processing grief in real time.
01:14 And they kind of become found family at the end,
01:17 I thought was a really ambitious thing.
01:20 They're not cypher Hollywood,
01:24 what we consider cypher characters
01:26 that are just placeholders for plot.
01:29 They actually are, there's something emotional going on.
