00:00Here we go. We are with the legendary Christopher Plummer. I can't think of how many movies of yours I have seen at Toronto over the years. I remember Barrymore. I remember, I think, was Beginners here. Just so many great movies. What brings you here this year?
00:21Well, I'm here to do a couple of things. Because now that Toronto is so busy in the international world, thank God for dear old Dusty Cole and his pals who made this festival possible. And now it's got a distinguished international reputation.
00:41So I came up to do, of course, Knives Out, which I admire tremendously because Brian Johnson is such a wonderful writer, as well as a director. And there was something very original about his kind of dialogue, which made me fascinated. And so I was thrilled to do it. And I think it worked out. I thought that audience reaction tonight was incredible.
01:08Congratulations. I think we also, I may be mistaken, but do we hear your voice before every screening here?
01:16Yes, I didn't know who the hell that was.
01:18Because you're Canadian, right? And you're talking about how many great things were made in Canada.
01:24Yes, and I really didn't recognize it. It sounded like me. And of course I recorded. I'd forgotten I'd recorded.
01:30So, you know everybody, I think, or they certainly know you. If you were to be stuck in an elevator here with one other person who you've heard is in town at this festival this year, a lot of great options. Who would you like that to be?
01:44Well, apart from my wife, I think that Marta, our beautiful lady, who is such a good actress, as well as the beauty, is in our film.
01:58And I think, yes, that would be very pleasant.
02:00You're going to get points for those answers. So, thank you for coming. Congratulations.
