00:00I think he was as involved as with the films, but also from very recent, like, you know, he's not controlling everything we do, even though he's, like, blessing and screaming everything that we show him.
00:13But I think he's exciting, he's very open to that exploration, because we're not, like, doing, like, a faithful account of everything that happens in the book, but we're also, we're more like, you know, sort of completing the puzzle and creating new storylines and giving life to something that didn't have, like, a conclusion or stuff.
00:33So he's very open and excited about what we do. And in that sense, again, of course, he's obviously, like, verbal when he doesn't like something, but most of the time he's just, like, he seems very excited and open to this creation.
00:52I would say he godfathered the whole series. I mean, he was reading scripts as they rolled off the line, reading story documents, reading treatments, and he would, you know, he would point to them and say yay or nay.
01:00If things bumped him, he would tell us, and we would look at it. And, you know, when Stephen King tells you a story point isn't working, you look at it and you change it, because he's usually right, and he always was in this case.
01:10So, you know, he was basically very generous with his creation and with his universe, and he said, here it is, I've written it all down, play around in it, and we shared it with him as we, you know, as we wrote it, and he guided us.
01:22Yeah, and he'd weigh in on casting. I mean, he was, yeah. We wanted to do something that he'd feel good about and be proud of, and we were thrilled this past week.
01:30He put out a thread saying he'd seen it and loved it, and episode one was terrifying. It was just like, that was a great way to go into this whole launch of the show. It was very, very exciting to see.
