00:00Can I do a little mea culpa?

00:01Yeah.

00:01I'm so sorry.

00:03The way that we treated Ugly Sonic.

00:05I think that was the definition of trust the process.

00:08Well, you know what?

00:10Maybe sometimes you need a little push to really look in the mirror and to hear the fans

00:14and to then really figure out if we want to adjust.

00:17And we did.

00:18And by the way, for The Hollywood Reporter,

00:20how often can you think of a film that really listens to fans

00:23and the studio takes money and time to change it

00:27because they think it would better the film?

00:28I think it's rarely ever happened before, if ever.

00:31That's true.

00:32And at this point, I think we have more alien life forms than we do human actors.

00:36We're definitely getting to 50-50.

00:37It's getting a little crowded.

00:38Or are you liking the crowd?

00:39Not crowded.

00:40Not crowded?

00:40No, no, no.

00:41We could add 100 more.

00:42We could do these forever.

00:43Okay.

00:43Yeah.

00:44Who would you like to see?

00:46Because have you heard the Maddie color theory?

00:49Yes, there are more.

00:50I've heard the Maddie color theory.

00:52I think it's real.

00:52I don't know.

00:53Who even knows?

00:54I don't think it really makes sense.

00:55I think people are grabbing at that part.

00:57But who I'd like to see, there's a lot of different characters I'd like to see.

00:59And the person that is in, the character that is in our tag is exactly who I hoped it would be.

01:07And the way they are introduced is amazing.

01:10I cannot, I can imagine just whoever Jeff Fowler wants to voice that character will say yes.

01:16Well, I hope so.

01:17It's, I think we have a really good track record with Idris saying yes and then Keanu Reeves saying yes.

01:23So my hope is we get someone really cool to play the next person.

01:25Like who?

01:26Daniel Day-Lewis, I heard, is loosely attached.

01:29I think DDL is loosely attached.

01:30He's coming out of retirement?

01:31I don't want to say anything.

01:32Supposedly DDL is coming out of retirement to play an animated character.

01:35Fingers crossed.

01:38So we'll see.

01:38That's what we like to hear here at the Hollywood Report.

01:41That's it.

01:41We're breaking news.

01:43Breaking news.

01:44DDL for Sonic 4.

01:45It's so ludicrous that it won't even get picked up.

01:49Or we'll manifest it.

01:51Oh my God.

01:51By the way, he used to make shoes, right?

01:53Didn't Daniel Day-Lewis like craft shoes?

01:55I'm hearing.

01:56We're sneakers all the time.

01:56You're telling me things I don't know.

01:58If we don't get DDL in 4, I don't know what I'm doing with myself.

02:03It's too hot here.

02:04I know.

02:05I made a mistake.

02:05I'm sorry.
