Transcript

00:00How does it feel to return to this concept after so many years

00:05and after a real pandemic that changed the world maybe forever?

00:10Yes, what's happened in the meantime feeds into the film.

00:15You can't help but feed in.

00:17Obviously, Covid is the most obvious example of it

00:20where some of the ideas of the first film appear to come true.

00:23But also our behaviour during Covid is also very much part of the film.

00:31We kind of adapted to living like that.

00:37We made extraordinary changes in our behaviour.

00:40Incredible when we look back on them.

00:42You think, what did we do?

00:43We locked ourselves in our spaces and kind of wore gloves when we met people

00:48and masks and weird stuff.

00:50So that feeds into the film about the group of survivors

00:54and how they adapt their behaviour

00:56and become more reckless, take more risks

00:59because 28 years is a long time to live with a threat.

01:03They learn how to live with the threat

01:05and it develops a type of behaviour,

01:08very masculine, very patriarchal,

01:10quite kind of retro approach to life.

01:15They no longer keep moving forward.

01:17They gender stereotype the girls and the boys.

01:21You know, they keep that feeling.

01:24They go back to that kind of 50s mentality, really.

01:28But also Brexit, for British people,

01:32Brexit and the isolation that we've chosen

01:34is very much a factor in it,

01:36in that behaviour of looking towards the past,

01:40towards a glorious England,

01:42you know, when we fought the French

01:43and we beat the French and Agincourt and Henry V and Shakespeare

01:47and all that kind of stuff really feeds into it.

01:50So there were lots of real life feeds into the movie

01:57and not least the fact that people's intolerance of each other,

02:02our anger and judgement of each other

02:05appears to have just become more and more intemperate

02:09in the 23 years since we made the film.

02:13Back then seems like quite an innocent time compared to now,

02:17you know, where everybody's jumping on why somebody's to blame for something,

02:22you know, and they go from naught to a hundred

02:25in terms of anger straight away.

02:27Yeah, all that's manifested in the film, I think, I hope.

02:32And in the film, as the previous movies,

02:36the biggest fear is to be infected.

02:40But today, what scares you as a storyteller?

02:44I think it's obvious what is at risk is information, truth,

02:55and a source that you can believe in,

02:58that you're being told the truth.

03:00There is such disinformation coming from previously trusted sources,

03:06like the President of the United States of America,

03:09and also untrusted sources, but disguised,

03:14so you can't recognise them, Russian misinformation.

03:17There is such misinformation in the world

03:19that that is the greatest danger.

03:21Because obviously one of the things as a storyteller that you do

03:24is you take risks with manipulating information for your story.

03:29But if you can't trust information at all,

03:32then that's going to be a real huge problem

03:35about how we tell stories, I think.

03:37how you have something that you can value,

03:41values are becoming of secondary importance

03:44to the means through which they apparently are transmitted,

03:48which are these machines that are making us feel so powerful,

03:53and almost inappropriately powerful,

03:55and lead us to even more of this intolerance with the world

03:59and with each other, you know?

04:03Thank you very much, and congratulations for the movie.

04:06Our time is up, so thank you.

04:08Have a nice day in Rome.

04:10All right, thank you.

04:11Thanks very much.

04:12Nice to meet you.
