00:00Wow, this is a big deal. This is a big deal, Matt Reeves on Emmy Sunday. First of all, how are you feeling?
00:06I'm incredibly excited. I mean, I'm so incredibly excited about the work that our cast and the writers and that everybody did,
00:12and to be here tonight is kind of a dream, so I'm super excited.
00:15And also, I mean, first of all, to see so many people get recognized and so many nominations,
00:21I don't want to ask you to pick a favorite, but was there one that really jumped out to you, really meaningful?
00:26Because, of course, Colin, transformative, Kristen, transformative, you know, a tour de force performance,
00:32but was there somebody sort of below the line that just really meant a lot to you for their hard work?
00:36Well, you know, I mean, honestly, as you said, we were so gratified that our incredible cast,
00:41that everybody involved, you know, that got nominations to be 24 is kind of insane,
00:45but I have to say, for me personally, just because of my relationship with Michael and Mick,
00:49you know, Mick is a very young composer, and he worked so hard on the show,
00:53and he won last weekend, and it was super exciting,
00:55so that just, on a very personal level, meant a lot to me.
00:59And so, first of all, who was the last person you texted?
01:04I know you probably received a lot of love, texts, DMs, emails from people who just said they loved what you guys have accomplished.
01:10Who was the last person you reached out to to say, man, I'm such a fan, or I love that show?
01:16Oh, gosh.
01:16You know, I would say, recently, I was, because we're starting to gear up,
01:21and we're talking about different crew people for the movie and everything,
01:24and I was talking to some of the people at Plan B,
01:27and I just was telling them how blown away I was by adolescence,
01:30which I just think that show really got to me.
01:32I was really affected, yeah.
01:35Everyone from that show is pretty amazing.
01:37Wait, now tell me, so since you brought it up, listen, you're a pro.
01:39I know you've been asked this 10 ways to Sunday about where you're at,
01:44but you finished the scripts, sort of, what's next?
01:48We're beginning.
01:49We're staffing up.
01:50We're starting to get our crew back together.
01:52We're getting ready.
01:53We're basically entering prep.
01:54We'll be making the movie in the spring, so super excited.
01:58It's been like a journey that has taken longer than I would have wanted to,
02:01for a lot of reasons, a lot of personal reasons,
02:03but most important reason is getting it to a place where I just felt like it was the best script we could possibly write,
02:08and I'm super excited about what Mattson and I did
02:11and Dylan and I getting back together and doing something that we're super excited about.
02:14I started sharing it with, like, the cast.
02:16I gave the script to Rob, and he was super excited,
02:18and so it's all, it's that crazy feeling because there's been this period of time where, like,
02:23okay, I've been working, you know, really, really hard and kind of quiet with Mattson,
02:27and now suddenly it's like, okay, now this is what we're doing,
02:29and to see the response so far has been super exciting because we're really passionate about it.
02:32How do you do that?
02:33Do you give Rob, like, I mean, you've got to keep tabs on the script.
02:37No one can get it out, so how do you do that?
02:39We keep it, we put it in a, so Benito, who's my assistant,
02:42he puts it, he goes and seeks out a very, very high security pouch that has a code on it
02:48that then we have to send separately, and it's inside of a locked, it's absurd,
02:52but we have a very, very high security pouch that we got to Rob,
02:56and then he was like, I can't open it.
02:58I said, I know, here's the code, and then he opens it,
03:00and then we had a FaceTime after he read it.
03:02It was very exciting, yeah, yeah.
03:04Yeah, I don't think it's absurd at all because I think that the fever around,
03:07I mean, anything in the DC, anything in the universe is so high,
03:11and you've got to protect it because people would just go,
03:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:13No, I would be very, I mean, obviously, because of what the first movie was
03:18and what this movie is, which is so much a detective story,
03:20the idea of trying to protect the secrets of the movie is super important
03:24because it's a mystery.
03:25I mean, it's all part of that.
03:26So that would be an extra level of heartbreak if that part of it started getting out.
03:30But yeah, it's, you know, these kind of movies always, you kind of want to keep the surprise
03:35so that the fans of the genre and of these movies can have the fun experience
03:40that I always loved going to the movies, which was to go and be surprised.
03:43And because you just said it was a lot of personal stuff,
03:46it was also just a longer than you anticipated,
03:48does that make it when you hand it over to Rob,
03:51I mean, listen, you're brilliant,
03:53so I don't imagine you need other people's validation to feel good,
03:58but were you more nervous about giving it to Rob at this because so many years had passed?
04:03Well, the years for sure, but also he's Batman.
04:07So if he doesn't like it, not good.
04:10So I was super excited because I thought that he really would
04:13because it's a very, the things that it does for his character, for Batman and for Bruce,
04:18I think we've, has never been done before in this way.
04:21And I had a feeling that he would respond in this way,
04:23but he, the fact that he did was incredibly encouraging.
04:26And of course, I'm nervous every time anyone reads it
04:28because we put all this passion into it,
04:29but you want, you hope people connect to what you're trying to do.
