00:00Can I ask I've been given one question and one question only so I guess it's got to be and please talk to me
00:04About Ridley Scott's influence on this film. I know he was a board as a producer
00:08Did he give you free reign to make the alien movie that you want to do? What were you seeking him for advice?
00:14He didn't he did not I think I I don't want free range to make it
00:18I don't think I want free range to make any movie
00:20I think

00:27The movie should be and I have a I'm very stubborn with my point of view as well
00:32And that's a fun collaboration with someone you can really go at it and discuss and and and debate
00:38What the best movie can be and and and in that debate you find the truth of what the movie should be
00:43I think I mean some of the best movies ever made were never made in the context of doing whatever you want
00:49Ask any director that made a great film. They always gotta tell you it was it was a struggle with a studio
00:55That's a good thing that's what you want in this case
00:57It was a lot of debate among us and we all love the movies equally and I think out of that
