00:00All right.
00:01Do you want to play?
00:02Yeah.
00:03I would love to.
00:04Okay.
00:05Well, then maybe you will need this.
00:08You know what this is?
00:13You're Supergirl.
00:14Hi, how's it going?
00:19I'm Josh from Narcity.
00:24How are you?
00:25Hey Josh.
00:26How are you?
00:27Good.
00:28Andy, I want to start with you.
00:29And I want to start with Supergirl and Sasha Calley.
00:31Obviously, you posted that incredible video of the moment you gave her the role.
00:36You know, I'm curious.
00:37You get to put your stamp on this character, whereas everyone else is inherited in a way.
00:41What made it, what was it about Sasha that made you say, this is my Supergirl and she's
00:45not going to be blonde.
00:46She's not going to be blue eyed.
00:47She's going to be Latina.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Well, I saw her addition and there was something about her that immediately spoke to me, mainly
00:56her strength, but also her vulnerability, but she's a phenomenal actor and there's something
01:02about her that I couldn't quite explain.
01:05that's part of the exploration in the film, you know, in the film media, the excitement
01:12about working with an actor that you know, or at least you, it's an intuition thing where
01:18you say something magical can happen here.
01:21So I can tell you the rational things why I, why, why I picked her, but also there's something
01:27that it's unexplainable and it has to do with that, that intuition.
01:30I'm very happy at the end, like she gave me that and more, but you can see the magic on
01:36screen for sure.
01:37Barbara, I want to ask you, you know, DC fans love to hear about the things they missed.
01:42And I heard there was a four hour cut of this movie.
01:45Can you tell me the coolest thing that didn't make the cut, but you really wanted to include?
01:49Oh man, that's an amazing question.
01:52I think there was a longer Barry's apartment, yeah, longer Barry's apartment scene that was
02:02just hilarious and hopefully it will see the light of day.
02:08I mean, it's still very funny, but we had to condense it.
02:10It's just those two, those guys are just hilarious.
02:19Well, Andy, I want to ask you, you know, you inherited two Batman here too.
02:24You've got Tim Burton's Batman, you've got Zack Snyder's Batman.
02:27And I'm curious, you know, if you were to take your own Batman in a brave and bold direction,
02:32what would you want to put on?
02:33What kind of spin would you want to put on that character?
02:35Oh, that's a, I don't think I can talk to that.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Okay.
02:41That's fair.
02:42Okay.
02:43Barbara, I want to ask you, you know, the movie is all about little moments, you know, misses
02:49hits here where it can change the whole course of things.
02:52This movie took a long time to get to the finish line and you guys got it across.
02:55There were writers before, there were directors before.
02:58What was the moment for you that you think everything may be turned on and we ended up
03:03with the best timeline right here?
03:06Um, we got together with Christina Hudson, um, a writer and, and I think, you know, she
03:14nailed the, the script.
03:18That was a first step.
03:19And second, we are, you know, dogs with a bone.
03:23We don't let it go.
03:24We're stubborn as hell.
03:26And the pandemic started and we managed to keep, um, our crew together.
03:32Uh, we kept on prepping through, you know, rain, shine and, you know, and viruses and, um,
03:41we managed to get to the UK six months later, but we did.
03:45And here we are.
03:46Um, so it's, you know, talent and stubbornness.
