00:00I think for me the idea of having the privilege of working on something that
00:06is this big in scale and scope was really exciting to me to see what that
00:11would be like in terms of audience reach, in terms of the entire experience.
00:16Yeah. Well, it's a huge responsibility. One that I and we do not take lightly.
00:33This franchise has been around for decades and we were keenly aware of the
00:40responsibility of paying homage to this incredible legacy and the additional
00:48challenge, I will say, opportunity of ushering in potentially a whole new
00:53audience as well. So, yeah, I mean, ultimately we're so proud of this movie.
01:01It was this incredible labor of love and I am genuinely so excited to share it with everyone.
01:10I am, I was too young. Yes. So I was not able to play the game. No. Have you?
01:26Well, they are very different in a lot of ways. I think for me the idea of having the privilege of
01:35working on something that is this big in scale and scope was really exciting to me to see what
01:42that would be like in terms of audience reach, in terms of the entire experience. But the thing
01:48that I always go back to is it's always about character and it's always about the story. Even
01:54though a movie like Past Lives and Tron are arguably completely opposite in a lot of ways. For me,
02:03though, when I think about the women that I'm playing, I'm really attracted to playing regular
02:10people and asking the question what it's like for a normal person who finds himself unexpectedly
02:18having to become superhuman because of an unforeseen circumstance, that that's the most compelling
02:26to me. So, yeah, I think in that small way, Nora Moon maybe is not so different from Evekin.
02:34What do you think about it?
02:40Oh, a lot of thought went into the idea of the permanence code and what we mean by that.
02:49I think that for Eve, it is actually highly personal. So it's rooted in a tragedy, actually,
02:59the loss of her sister. So I think what we did was tie this tech, this advancement to something
03:08that is very human and very authentically, yeah, part of the human experience. The idea of life and
03:16death. That to me is what makes this movie so special, actually, because we are dealing with these
03:24huge ideas, AI and tech and how it's infiltrated our daily existence. But we're always coming back
03:31to, at the core, what it's like to be a person. And that is the journey of this movie that we get to
03:38see through the experience of Ares, this program who becomes sentient, meeting Eve Kim, an actual human
03:45who's also having to reconnect with the very idea of what it means to be a person.
03:54Right. Well, we meet Ares, the program at the start of the film. And at the start of this journey,
04:00he's the most advanced corporate military program ever to have existed. And then we see right away that
04:08he experiences a feeling of rebellion and this questioning as he becomes sentient. I think that's
04:17directly parallel to the ideas that we're exploring in this movie in terms of responsibility and what we
04:25do with technological advances as it relates to us as people. It was actually tremendously joyful to
04:35think about these ideas. And the movie, to me, is very hopeful in terms of what waits for us in the future.
04:46Yeah.
