00:00All right, three, two, one.
00:07Also me scrolling through my phone every morning.
00:10Can you believe that's Christian Bale behind the scenes
00:12of his new movie, The Bride?
00:14He led the cast and crew in scream therapy sessions,
00:17pillow not included.
00:19Everyone's doing it, apparently, even the ladies of The View.
00:22Ready?
00:23Ah!
00:26Ah!
00:27Ah!
00:28It's way too early for this.
00:30Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal described
00:32the bonding ritual as a primal scream,
00:34which ends with a monster howl.
00:37Arr-woo!
00:43On behalf of theater kids everywhere, I apologize.
00:47The bride exclamation point is in theaters now,
00:50and we've got the best, worst, and weirdest moments
00:53from the press tour.
00:54Move over, Jacob Elordi.
00:56There's a new Frankenstein's monster in town,
00:58and The Bride?
00:58Not me, a goth.
01:00It's award-season darling, Jessie Buckley,
01:02in what looks like a two-hour Lady Gaga video.
01:05Coming from a gay man, that's a compliment.
01:08Quick question, though.
01:08Does she have that schmutz on her face the whole time?
01:12Can we get this girl a napkin?
01:13As mixed reviews roll in, fans are worried
01:16this movie might end up spoiling Jessie's Oscar chances,
01:20similar to how Norbit came out in February 2007,
01:23just as Eddie Murphy was hoping to nab an Oscar for Dreamgirls.
01:27He lost.
01:27You see, Jessie is in the midst of a sweep for a different movie,
01:31Hamnet.
01:32She snatched a Golden Globe, a Critics' Choice Award,
01:35a BAFTA, a SAG actor, and pretty soon, an Oscar?
01:38So naturally, on the press trail for The Bride,
01:40her groom showered her with love.
01:43From Good Morning America...
01:44Jessie's this fantastic talent who, you know,
01:49is just sort of bursting and exploding onto the scene.
01:51...to their sit-down with extra...
01:53Well, this one, this one, mate, she's the goat,
01:56but I just smell like a goat.
01:58Uh-oh.
01:59Goat wordplay?
02:00You're bad.
02:02Then on Ireland's The Late Late Show,
02:04the Irish actress got even more praise.
02:06It is, as they say, a big week for the parish, Jessie.
02:09It is a big week for the parish.
02:12Aye, tis.
02:13Did you also catch the host sort of flirting with Maggie a wee bit?
02:16I'm loving the twinkle in the eye, as you're saying that, Maggie.
02:19This is good news.
02:20But don't be fooled.
02:21This film isn't all twinkles and sunshine and rainbows.
02:24Maggie revealed on the interview podcast
02:26that Warner Brothers actually asked her to make the movie
02:29a little less violent after testing it in middle America.
02:32One exec told her,
02:34Maggie, you cannot have Frankenstein lick black vomit
02:39off of the bride's neck.
02:41It's just too much.
02:42Black vomit?
02:45No, I'm good.
02:46Now, where was I?
02:47The Bride also stars Penelope Cruz, Annette Bening,
02:51Maggie's husband, Peter Sarsgaard,
02:52and her little bro, Jake Gyllenhaal.
02:55If you're a Swifty, he's the guy who stole the red scarf.
02:57The movie is punk rock, gothic,
03:00and a feminist reimagining of the 1935 silent film
03:04Bride of Frankenstein.
03:06Critics are split.
03:08The post Johnny Oleksinki gave it zero stars,
03:11calling it the absolute worst movie he's ever seen in this job.
03:14But will that stop you from seeing it?
03:16And do you think this will directly hurt Jesse's Hamnet winning streak?
03:20Let us know in the comments.
