00:00The first time I heard about Automata was when I was shooting with Pedro Almodovar, the skin I live in.
00:06And Elena Naya, my partner in the movie, she brought me this script with the artwork attached to it.
00:14And I started reading it on page 28. I was very enthusiastic about it.
00:19So I called him. I said, listen, I am in page 28, Cabe.
00:23If the script in page 106 is the same, we're going to do this.
00:27And he told me something like, well, I'll wait for an hour, an hour and a half until you finish.
00:34I'll be here just attached to my phone waiting for the call.
00:38So I did call him. It was more philosophical.
00:40It was more human in a way with a great story that has remnants and smells of the film noir
00:50from the 40s and 50s mixed with a fantastic plot.
00:54And all of those things convinced me, the kind of retrofuture vision of the whole entire story.
01:01In a way, the whole entire movie is like a mirror that reflects what we could have been and we
01:08are not anymore.
01:09And robots take that and they are ruled by what they call protocols, certain rules that are very strict.
01:18So something is going to happen in the movie with those protocols that is going to modify the story
01:22and it's going to just make robots actually just start walking in a completely different direction outside of the control
01:29of the human beings.
01:30My character is a very great man that works in a company that is also in decline.
01:37They are just fixing all robots.
01:39They don't have new materials to make new components and new robots.
01:45So he's a man that actually doesn't like the world in which he is living.
01:51He got serious problems with that.
01:54The problems are magnified when I know that my wife is pregnant.
01:58He doesn't think that to bring a new baby to this world that he hates is a good thing.
02:05In a way, accidentally, he gets involved in all of this singularity issue that we were talking about before.
02:12He's going to have to make an investigation about the possibility of a robot breaking what we call the second
02:18protocol,
02:18which is fixing themselves.
02:20So I think for a long time in the movie that there is somebody behind that.
02:24And so I am on the search of that person, that person that we call the clocksmiths.
02:29There are a number of people that work outside of the company.
02:31They just modify and alter robots for their own convenience in many different ways.
02:38And so I think that somebody is behind that and I am going to initiate that investigation.
02:43And that investigation is going to take me to the whole entire adventure.
02:46It's a very European movie in a way.
02:48The people is going to have those moments of chasing cars and explosions and thrilling moments in the movie.
02:55But there is something else in the whole entire product that we are trying to defend at all costs,
03:01which is to have a content that is interesting for all type of audiences, not only young kids.
03:06We want to just go a little bit further than that.
