00:00You are reuniting with Yorgos from working on The Favourite.

00:03This is your first time working with Yorgos.

00:06How would you describe him as a director?

00:08And was there any note that he gave you throughout this process

00:11or your process working with him before that really stuck with you?

00:15A little less. No, I mean, he did say that once.

00:20He's a master.

00:21He's very specific. He's very honest. He's very clear.

00:24He's candid and he's sincere.

00:26And you see that in his work.

00:27It's not just, you know, wildly entertaining and just crazy for crazy's sake.

00:34It's specific and it's real investigation.

00:37Yeah, he's one of a kind.

00:38And if you get to work with people like that, you feel very, very lucky.

00:42He's, you know, a very singular director.

00:45He makes bold, challenging, provocative films.

00:48And I think we all just felt lucky to be a part of this for sure.

00:52I know, Joe, for you, you're also reuniting with Emma on this film

00:55from working with her on The Favourite.

00:57What was it like reuniting?

00:58And I know a lot of people felt that chemistry in the last film.

01:00So what was it like kind of tackling this project together?

01:03Oh, it was the best.

01:04It's always nice to return to working with people that you know.

01:07And Emily is no different to that.

01:10Emily and Yorgos and Robbie Ryan, to see the same faces, again, this familiarity there,

01:15this trust, this friendship, it makes a big difference and it's really, really lovely.

01:19Yeah, yeah.

01:20Sure.

01:20And finally, I wanted to say, I know, part of our THR review called this film,

01:25Balls to the Walls Strangeness.

01:27So, what would you, for both of you, Balls to the Walls Strangeness.

01:32Okay.

01:33So, what would you say, for each of you, was probably the wildest or strangest scene in

01:40this film?

01:41The wildest or strangest?

01:43I mean, there's so many.

01:44There's too many.

01:45There's a couple.

01:46There's a couple.

01:47Pick one that sticks out to you the most.

01:49Joe's character in the second story.

01:52That was one of my favorite scenes when I read it and shot it.

01:55That's a weird scene.

01:56But fun.

01:57Kind of the weirder, the funner to do.

01:59I think, yeah.

02:00Always.

02:01Not Willem Dafoe in the orange Speedo, perhaps.

02:04Well, that was great to see it.

02:06Great to see it.
