00:00So talk to me a little bit about the dynamic on set. What were things like?
00:03Tension. Really? It was lovely. I've said this many times, and I should say it to her,
00:11but Scarlett being also a producer on this, along with Greg Berlanti, the tone was just lovely on set
00:17and playful and there to work but have fun, you know, in the best possible way.
00:25I might just kick the camera. Everyone okay? Who's watching? Don't worry.
00:32That wasn't a little mini earthquake. That was just me kicking it.
00:35Your character was such a comic. He was such a comic. There were a lot of references to Stanley Kubrick
00:42and how he wasn't Stanley, but he could be. What was that like, bringing this Stanley-adjacent character?
00:50It was so much fun. I mean, a lot was on the page, but then, you know, with Greg, we played in the room
00:55as they were sort of fleshing out, and I was doing the audition process.
00:59And just knowing that I could talk about Kubrick, you know, knowing that I believe 2001 was out for a full year
01:05before the 1969 Apollo 11, so being able to have that in the back and be upset about that movie,
01:13which was great, but decided that he's a hack, was, I mean, I already, you know the character mainly when you say that.
01:21Someone else has my career. That kind of vibe.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Well, I mean, I think, obviously, this was more about a team of people ultimately teaming up to make sure it's not faked.
01:42However, you know, the idea that, sure, government has a backup plan, right, probably.
01:50So it was an interesting twist on that idea, but I assure us, or I believe, we land on the moon. We're fine.
