00:00Happy New Year my friend. New Year to you. Good to see you. We're doing this all over again
00:04It's all over again, and you're gonna go get an award tonight. I know isn't it nice
00:07It's so beautiful to come back here again. I guess every time I come here. I'm gonna pick up an award
00:11Maybe that's it. I can't just come and just stay for the summer. I have to come only at this time
00:15It's a good reason to come to get an award, especially when you know, you're gonna win
00:20It actually that's actually like the most relaxing thing because you're just here your colleagues
00:25It's the first I feel like you're just shot out of the cannon
00:27I was just in Punta Mita for like a week and I suddenly I'm back into all this
00:31But I feel great because I'm here with sing sing and my colleagues. It's beautiful
00:37Relations on this ride with this film. I feel like this has been such a special journey
00:40You know, they're all special but this one in particular for you. This does feel different
00:44It feels like because I really do feel like there's a power in our film
00:49They can really promote some real change not only change like in the in the way people treat
00:53Inmates and what's what access they have to arts and things to do some real rehabilitation
00:59But it has changed the heart and minds of people
01:02Examining inmates because usually we've seen like a few prison dramas and we think that that's all there is
01:07Instead of also some people in these places that are really doing their damnness to do work
01:12That does some real soul work and some transformative work so much so that there's a less than 3% recidivism rate
01:19among men who go through this program
01:21Rehabilitation of the arts compared to 60% nationwide. So for me we look at that margin you're like this is a film that can promote
01:27some real change
01:29That was really beautiful
01:31Also, beautiful these gloves those are a thing aren't they think they're a thing and you know
01:35And I was also just reading your cover story in Palm Springs life or Palm Springs magazine where you said your New Year's Resolutions
01:41Be maximalist, which I think this qualifies. Listen, Alessandro
01:46Who Ellison Michelle who's that Valentino will let you know these very maximalistic basically, it's phenomenal. Look at this
01:53I mean this this why we chose this and this is custom was because it feels like Palm Springs in the 1960s
01:59But also has a little bit of Victorian England. I love the fact that it feels timeless
02:03I thought and I feel like I'm a man of the world and I want to express myself in that way
02:07It's feel North African and and I don't I think I have a lot going on in all the right ways
02:13I took the words right out of my mouth, by the way looking ahead to 2025
02:18You have a lot of exciting things coming you're reteaming with your Lincoln director Steven Spielberg, which I saw
02:22I know you probably can't say much about it
02:25But just tell me what just what it feels like to reunite with someone like him
02:28well, I
02:30first worked with Steven Spielberg in the very beginning of my film career with a little film called Lincoln and I just had the
02:36opening scene and I was the opening voice and
02:39Now for that journey to had been lasting and every time I would see Steven throughout the years
02:45We didn't know we wanted to work together again
02:47And so when this project came up, he said I was one of the first that he thought about and so it's um
02:52I'm myself with some people
02:54I really love and admire like Emily Blunt and Colin Firth and Joshua Conner and Eve Hewson
02:59I think we want to make something special something very special that is
03:03written
03:05Indirected by Steven, which is beautiful
03:09You
