00:03Simon, I was ready to dismiss you, but there is no denying, you are one of them, and Trevor, you
00:13are my Barnaby.
00:14You moving on?
00:16I'm sorry, I'm just not happy.
00:19You never let me in, Simon.
00:21Not really.
00:23Guy spends his own mother's money on her birthday gift like he's five years old.
00:30No one's ever seen that side of me before, outside my family.
00:35You're right about Simon. He is enhanced and incredibly dangerous.
00:40You need more evidence, and I know how to get it for you.
00:43But I need some time. I can't be pressured.
00:48That's all I ask.
01:14I've got football practice, so I'll grab a ride home with Jason.
01:17Hey, Mommy is making legumes, so please don't fill up on snacks.
01:22All right.
01:25No snacks!
01:30Simo?
01:31Stop it!
01:36Stop it!
01:40That's quite a cough.
01:43What?
01:44Pretty bad.
01:46I think you might need a day off, Simo.
01:49Really?
01:51Well?
01:54Oh, yeah.
01:56That's terrible.
01:57Let's go.
01:59The first time I saw this, I just moved to the States.
02:02Now, the special effects will be a little corny, but they were cool at the time.
02:19I heard what happened yesterday.
02:22I know some kids were picking on you at school, and you all got in trouble.
02:29They started it.
02:30I know.
02:31I know how hard it could be, Simo.
02:34At this age, kids are cruel.
02:39They sniff out anyone who's different.
02:44But sometimes, different can also be great.
02:48I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard
03:12it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but
03:12I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard
03:12it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but
03:12I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard
03:12it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but
03:12I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard
03:12it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but
03:12I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard
03:12it could be, but I know how hard it could be, but I know how hard it
03:29I can't give up on this people, this planet.
03:35You got this.
03:37Just go out there.
03:43Show them what you can do.
03:49Ready for another day in paradise?
03:55Wardrobe needs to do some adjustments to the suit,
03:57then we'll head to hair and makeup.
03:58Cool.
03:59Uh, I'm a little hungry.
04:00Can we get someone to swing by crafting?
04:02Sure.
04:03Grabbing food for Simon Williams would make some PA's day.
04:05You feeling more like a green juice or banana protein shake?
04:07Oh, a protein shake would be great.
04:09Can't maintain that muscle mass on juice.
04:12Uh, Terrell Faluca, let me get a smooth operator for our number one
04:14to Wardrobe ETA.
04:16Five minutes, please and thank you.
04:17Let me get some turkey bacon, too.
04:19Say less.
04:19Add a side of turkey bacon.
04:21You know what? Make it real bacon.
04:22Done.
04:23Correction, make sure that bacon squeals.
04:25You need the turkey at home.
04:27She's a beaut.
04:28How's the fit?
04:29Well, it's a bit snug in the undercarriage, to be honest.
04:33I might want to have babies one day.
04:35Oh, don't laugh too hard.
04:37Anthony Quinn was a dad at 81.
04:39Well, I think they look good.
04:41So this is where the party is.
04:44Oh, look who decided to show up.
04:46Do you know I can get some chamoy around here?
04:50I used to know this bloke, but he didn't have a room to self-taping.
04:54I know.
04:54We're all aware of the little bromance between you two.
04:58Big bromance.
04:59Maura, lighten up.
05:00You wound up tighter than Trevor's pants.
05:03Okay.
05:04I'll let them out a bit.
05:08Here you are, Mr. Williams.
05:11Apologies for the weight.
05:12Appreciate it.
05:13I got both types of bacon, just in case.
05:15You want some bacon?
05:16I'm kind of rethinking the whole thing.
05:18Oh, I couldn't possibly the sodium go straight to my lymph nodes.
05:21Luca, your lucky day.
05:24Hey, knock knock.
05:25What's up?
05:27I did another dive on these.
05:29I know you were worried the other options weren't staying true to the look from the first film.
05:32Yeah.
05:33But these are pretty great.
05:37I don't know.
05:39None of these are as cool as the originals.
05:42We need to reinterpret that 80s look, right?
05:46Maybe not.
05:47Maybe try to get as close to the old ones as possible.
05:53Okay.
05:56Hey, fellas.
05:57Just checking in.
05:58Everyone's anxious to get started.
06:00Any word on that dialogue change that we talked about?
06:02Yes.
06:02Von Kovic and the writer will meet you in hair and makeup.
06:05Okay.
06:06Mara, any chance you can finish with these two before the next writer's strike?
06:12Okay.
06:15Shall we discuss the offending dialogue?
06:18No one said offending.
06:19No, not offending.
06:20No one said offending.
06:22That's crazy.
06:23Uh, so, in scene 36, when I see Gabriela at the cocktail party, I pull her to the side,
06:30right?
06:31And I say, you'll never redeem yourself to me, ever.
06:34Yes.
06:35Uh, it just, it just felt a little unnatural.
06:38Well, your character is obsessed with the concept of redemption.
06:40It's one of the major themes of the film.
06:43Right.
06:44But the words themselves just, it felt a little artificial.
06:48But at this point in your story, there's still a layer of artifice to Wonder Man.
06:52See, I would argue that he's already shared a lot of his performative self by now.
06:57This comes after the baptism of All Saints, the cavern fight, and the Barnaby Hospital moment.
07:01This feels like act one, Wonder Man.
07:04I wonder if this isn't a large issue.
07:09It's really just about the one line.
07:32If you don't mind, I couldn't help overhearing.
07:35I was wondering if instead of, you'll never redeem yourself to me, Simon simply says, I'll
07:40never forget.
07:41Forgive you.
07:42I like it.
07:43That works for me.
07:44Okay.
07:45Yeah.
07:45Definitely work.
07:46Right.
07:47Should we go film some of this brilliant script?
08:00How's your first week?
08:02Uh, okay.
08:03Just okay, Simon?
08:05Uh, yeah.
08:06I don't want to jinx anything.
08:07Well, I will.
08:08It was a dream.
08:09An absolute dream.
08:10Nothing could possibly go wrong.
08:11Yes.
08:12Now that's what I love to hear.
08:14Alright, come on.
08:15The team's already here.
08:16Oh, we team level now.
08:18Oh, yeah.
08:20You team level.
08:21And we all have high hopes for Wonder Man, but no matter how things shake out, we can
08:25start capitalizing on the casting news.
08:27We're already getting calls.
08:28There's a new Netflix series from Shonda Rhimes we think you'll love.
08:31We're really excited about it.
08:33Fits perfectly with your schedule.
08:35And it's the lead.
08:38Okay.
08:42What do you think?
08:43Sounds dreadful.
08:45Bet on yourself.
08:46Bet on Wonder Man.
08:47Don't commit to another movie or series until the world has fallen in love with you.
08:55Was this supposed to be a Simon dinner?
08:57Yes, but Simon wanted to bring Trevor, which we think is great.
09:00We love it.
09:01We love that you two have such a thing.
09:04But in all fairness, Trevor, the landscape has changed since you've been out here, so you
09:09might want to trust us on this one.
09:10Yeah, well, you know what hasn't changed?
09:12Artistry.
09:12The craft.
09:14I think you should do a play.
09:16Something sophisticated and challenging.
09:18Prove you got the chops.
09:18Not in this just to make a book.
09:20But we also want to secure a bag along the way, right, Simon?
09:26Trevor's right.
09:27We should find a play.
09:30Simon, you do realize we've done all this work so that you could stop doing theater.
09:33But I love theater.
09:35But you have an opportunity here, Simon, one most people never get their whole career.
09:38I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it.
09:41Nah, I trust Trevor on this.
09:43On everything, actually.
09:47You know, we don't have to talk about this.
09:48We would just stick a pin in the Netflix show for now.
09:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:51In some other exciting news, Cathy Freeman from the New York Times, she called and she
09:55wants to do a joint profile on the both of you.
09:57What?
09:58New York Times?
09:59New York Times?
09:59Mm-hmm.
10:00The only one that exists.
10:01She heard about your journey and how you both got cast and became friends and she finds
10:06it fascinating.
10:08Fascinating?
10:10We're fascinating.
10:11This could shift your narrative, Trevor.
10:12You know, you can't ask for a higher profile than the New York Times.
10:15You can finally put the Mandarin business behind you.
10:17Show the world who you really are.
10:19She'll be on set tomorrow observing the both of you and then she'll interview you the following
10:22day.
10:23To Cathy Freeman and the bloody New York Times.
10:28Cathy Freeman is bad news, Trev.
10:31Bad news.
10:32Why?
10:32What's wrong with Cathy Freeman?
10:34She's the most respected entertainment writer out there.
10:38Yeah, well that's good.
10:39She is also a character assassin.
10:43Listen to this.
10:44Most of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's friends and colleagues would agree on one thing.
10:49Joseph Gordon-Levitt had always needed the fame and recognition above all else.
10:54The pigeon incident in the fifth grade wasn't an aberration.
10:58It was the first glimpse of the true Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
11:03What did he do to the pigeon?
11:04I don't know, man.
11:05I don't know.
11:06But it can't be good.
11:07How about this?
11:08Glenn Howerton stabbed his overpriced arugula salad listlessly as if he might discover a
11:15modicum of charm or presence hiding under a stray slice of watermelon radish.
11:21Spoiler.
11:22He would not.
11:23Ouch!
11:23She's brutal.
11:25Trev, what if I stabbed my arugula salad listlessly?
11:29Never.
11:29You're very assertive with your fork.
11:31What if she finds out about my secret?
11:37Well, she doesn't appear to be that kind of a journalist.
11:40She seems more interested in, you know, vibes.
11:43Well, if Cathy Freeman can tear apart Glenn Howerton, one of the most charming dudes out there,
11:48she's gonna rip me to shreds.
11:50Why would you say that?
11:52I'm not known for my fun, chill vibes.
11:55What about the crew?
11:56They like you.
11:57No, the crew likes us.
11:59You and me together on my own.
12:02People think I'm a dick.
12:03Okay.
12:04So, we stick together.
12:06You work on being more charming and I find it helpful to use people's names.
12:12You know, ask them about themselves.
12:14That kind of bullshit actually works.
12:16Yeah, you'd be amazed.
12:18Trust me.
12:22Simon, Cathy Freeman, Cathy Freeman, Simon Williams.
12:28It's a pleasure, Cathy.
12:29I am so excited to be doing this.
12:31No, it's an honor, Cathy, for real.
12:33Cathy, you grew up in Jersey, right?
12:35I did.
12:36I did.
12:36But let's not worry about me.
12:38Oh, I'm worried about you, Cathy.
12:40I want you to have a good time.
12:41Oh, you're sweet.
12:42You're very sweet.
12:43But I'm not here to have a good time.
12:45I know this is going to sound a little weird, but when I'm observing, I like to just be ignored.
12:50Oh.
12:50Just pretend I'm not here.
13:02Where's Trev?
13:03He has a late call today.
13:04For real?
13:09We're pretty tight.
13:10I'm not here.
13:11Right.
13:13I'm sorry.
13:14You can't apologize to someone if they're not there.
13:16Shit.
13:16Sorry.
13:18So...
13:18So smooth.
13:19It's right.
13:20Right, Terrell?
13:21Yeah, man.
13:23Hey, you want me to have someone grab you a banana protein shake from Crafty?
13:26What?
13:26No, no, no.
13:27I couldn't get that myself.
13:28Come on, man.
13:29Crafty's for Gen Pop, bro.
13:30We got people for that.
13:31What?
13:31What?
13:32What?
13:33No.
13:34That's offensive.
13:35Gen Pop?
13:36Come on, Terrell.
13:37You know I like to get my own snacks.
13:38Give me a chance to chat with the crews.
13:42Right.
13:43I know.
13:44Of course.
13:45Sorry.
13:48Now, I take my Wrangler up to Sequoia all the time, and let me tell you, zero problems
13:52in the snow, but it's a different story on the East Coast.
13:56And why is that, Eileen?
13:58Because they got slush.
14:00Oh, slush.
14:01Mm-hmm.
14:02And what's the difference?
14:05It's moisture, I think.
14:07There's a Norwegian short film called Slush Ice by director Soren Grinderslev Hansen.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Tell me more about this.
14:20Tell me more about the Wrangler.
14:21Oh.
14:22Well, all I know is out there, I have to put a lift on so I can toss on some
14:2535s.
14:2633s don't get it done.
14:27No, no.
14:27And that's the, that's, that's the, the, the tire?
14:31Yeah, 35s are like the bigger...
14:33Yeah.
14:33Oh, sorry to interrupt.
14:35Excuse me.
14:35They call it a bit?
14:36Yeah, sorry about that.
14:38Oh.
14:39Hi.
14:40Trevor Slattery.
14:41And you must be the legendary Cathy Freeman.
14:43What a pleasure.
14:44All mine.
14:45We're supposed to ignore her.
14:46Oh, I see.
14:47All right.
14:47I, I, I don't see.
14:49Where'd she go?
14:50I could've sworn she's right here.
15:04Hey, Luca.
15:06You know my name?
15:07Oh, come on.
15:09Luca, I keep hearing you're a Bruins fan.
15:10I didn't know you liked the Bruins.
15:12I don't.
15:16Uh, what you got there, Luca?
15:17A birthday gift for Mara from Wardrobe.
15:21I, I should get this over to her.
15:23Hey, Terrell.
15:24Can you run out and grab something for Mara's birthday for me and Terrell?
15:27Of course.
15:27What do you want to get her?
15:28What do you want to get her?
15:28There's a fabulous old chocolatier in Beverly Hills, Edelweiss.
15:33Beverly Hills?
15:33Is that a problem?
15:34It's gonna be expensive.
15:35This is Mara we're talking about.
15:37We love Mara.
15:39$650?
15:41Do we love Mara that much?
15:42Yes.
15:42It's worth it.
15:43Trust me.
15:44I'm on it.
15:44You know who never think of buying fancy chocolates for the wardrobe lady's birthday?
15:47Who?
15:48Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
15:49Oh, right.
15:50Probably out murdering pigeons.
15:52I think that's it.
15:53What else could it be?
15:54What else could it be?
15:56Well, thank you both.
15:58I'm sorry if it was a little awkward.
15:59You're kidding.
16:00We forgot you were even here.
16:02Yeah, for real.
16:02That was just another...
16:04It's a normal day.
16:05Before I let you go, Simon, I meant to ask you, are there any friends of yours that I should
16:09reach out to for the profile?
16:11Ooh, friends.
16:13Um...
16:13Anyone who could talk to me about your journey as an actor over the past few years?
16:17Other than Trevor and Vivian, obviously.
16:20Vivian?
16:21Your former girlfriend, Vivian.
16:23I spoke with her yesterday.
16:25Oh, cool.
16:28Um...
16:28No, that's...
16:29That...
16:31That would do it.
16:33Okay.
16:34Well, I will let you two relax.
16:36I'll look forward to talking to you tomorrow.
16:41I'm sure your ex only had lovely things to say.
16:56Hey.
16:57Hey.
16:58Hey.
17:05Thanks.
17:06Yeah.
17:10You still do a Grey Goose martini?
17:13I think I'll just have a water.
17:15Yeah?
17:16Yeah.
17:17Okay.
17:18Excuse me.
17:20Yeah, just a water.
17:21Please.
17:26Thank you for coming.
17:27Well, it sounded kind of urgent.
17:29Oh, no, no, no.
17:30I just...
17:30I just realized we hadn't talked since you moved out.
17:33Really?
17:34This isn't about the Kathy Friedman profile?
17:36I mean...
17:39Uh...
17:40No.
17:40If I'm gonna be honest, yes.
17:42Yes.
17:43But...
17:44I know.
17:44I did think it was a good excuse to catch up.
17:46I didn't even know you were still in L.A.
17:48Yes, Gracie.
17:49I was all set to go, truly.
17:51And then I actually booked something.
17:54Really?
17:55No.
17:56I mean, good for you.
17:57Yeah.
17:58It's just a small part on the next season of Severance.
18:01Wow.
18:01That's a great show.
18:02Yeah, it's no Wonder Man.
18:05But I did just have a costume fitting.
18:07It's exciting to see such a big production.
18:09And I've never had a character with more than one look before.
18:12Oh, man.
18:14Costume fittings.
18:15Yeah, you wouldn't believe how much work went into my look for Wonder Man.
18:20Von Kovac is super specific about the look.
18:24There's been sketches and fittings and camera tests and stunt tests
18:29just whole days where it's just about can I do the stunts in the suit.
18:33I think they said they spent like half a million dollars on a suit alone.
18:38So...
18:41It's crazy.
18:45Crazy.
18:52Damn.
19:01Look, I know you must have been really frustrated with me at the end.
19:05Well, you can sometimes be a self-centered dick.
19:08I know.
19:10I know.
19:12I'm not great at relationships.
19:15There's a lot of reasons for that.
19:16But I'm working on it.
19:18I'm trying to be more open.
19:19I'm trying to be less self-centered.
19:26Simon.
19:27I know why you're so concerned about me and this article, okay?
19:31But you're safe.
19:33I didn't say anything about your secret.
19:39My secret.
19:42Simon.
19:43I know.
19:45We lived together.
19:47I loved you.
19:49I knew for a long time that you are different.
19:58I just...
19:59I didn't want to say anything because it didn't feel like it was my place.
20:03And of course, I understood why you had to be careful, why no one could know.
20:08But you could have trusted me.
20:11I was always waiting for you to trust me.
20:17And I hope one day you find someone that you can trust.
20:23Someone you can really be yourself with.
20:31Bye, Simon.
20:38How are you feeling?
20:40Worried.
20:41Of course you are.
20:41It wouldn't be you otherwise.
20:43It's okay.
20:44It's gonna be great.
20:45Yeah.
20:53Hey, mommy.
20:55Guess who talked to the New York Times.
20:57Is that right?
20:58That's right.
20:59The women wanted to know all about my beautiful boy.
21:02What did you tell her?
21:04Oh, how wonderful you are, Sherry.
21:06You didn't say anything about the kitchen fire?
21:08No.
21:09Or your birthday party.
21:11Simon, don't be ridiculous.
21:17Okay.
21:20Uh, I gotta run.
21:21I'm about to sit down with her right now.
21:22Well, that's wonderful, Sherry.
21:24Say hello from me and Eric.
21:26Eric?
21:27Yes.
21:28Let's go.
21:30Okay.
21:32All right.
21:32Bye-bye, my mom.
21:38What is it?
21:41My brother, Kathy, talked to Eric.
21:42Oh, no.
21:44Why didn't I think of my brother?
21:53He's not answering.
21:56This dude has been waiting his whole life to ruin me.
22:09He must have told her everything.
22:11So thrilled.
22:13He finally got me.
22:14Little brother can't act anymore.
22:15That's for sure.
22:15No more creative.
22:17Bullshit.
22:18You don't know that for sure.
22:20Put it out of your head.
22:22Take a deep breath.
22:24Remember your box breathing.
22:25Now hold for five.
22:29Exhale slowly for five.
22:35Hey, you two.
22:37Oh, so excited about our chat.
22:41Not as excited as we are.
22:43Well, I figured the studio restaurant would be the easiest.
22:45We got the place all to ourselves.
22:47Splendid.
22:50So, uh, I know that you spoke with my brother?
22:55Yes.
22:56I spoke with him and your mother earlier this week.
22:58Uh, my brother and I, we have a...
23:02We have a complicated relationship.
23:05Really?
23:06Oh, that's interesting.
23:07Why?
23:07Why is it complicated?
23:10Eh, well...
23:14What did Eric say?
23:16Nothing but lovely things.
23:19How long you struggled.
23:20How few people believed in you, including him.
23:23He's so proud of you.
23:25It's really beautiful.
23:31Uh, uh...
23:34Cool, that's beautiful.
23:36That's great.
23:37In general, everything that I've learned about your journey has been inspiring.
23:42The difficulties of your parents' face coming from Haiti and the loss of your father.
23:45I can't wait to get into all of that.
23:48But I wanted to start with Mr. Slattery first, if we could.
23:51I know you couldn't talk to my mom, so I brought some photos to show you.
23:55I was ten when the acting bug first bit.
23:58My first audience was my dear old mom, Dorothy.
24:01Ooh.
24:02That's my mom.
24:03Yeah, these are lovely.
24:05I think we can work our way back to that.
24:07I want to start with your recent past.
24:10So you arrived back in Los Angeles a few months ago, is that correct?
24:13That is correct, dear.
24:14I came back to prove to my mom that her faith in me wasn't misplaced.
24:18And here we are, in a Bon Corvette movie.
24:21Well, I spoke to several witnesses who said that you were arrested when you landed in LAX.
24:27Hmm.
24:28Are you sure about that?
24:30I'm quite sure.
24:31I spoke to four different people, and one of them took this video.
24:38I don't think that's me.
24:40And you were broken out of prison for finishing your sentence.
24:43Isn't that right?
24:44No.
24:45That's not entirely true.
24:47Oh, okay.
24:47So when did you finish serving your time?
24:49Bloody New York Times, you think they get the facts straight.
24:52I just find the pivot from fugitive to a movie star to be so fascinating.
24:56I'm curious about the details.
24:57Fugitive?
24:58I'm not a fugitive!
24:59Did you work out a deal with the government?
25:01Work out a deal?
25:02I didn't work out a deal.
25:04I would never work out a deal.
25:06Well, I just don't quite understand.
25:08How is it you're able to be sitting here, Mr. Slattery?
25:12I just need some help filling in the blanks.
25:14Why do you keep calling me Mr. Slattery when you call him Simon?
25:19I can understand this can be a pretty sensitive subject.
25:22You're bloody right, it's sensitive.
25:23If you're trying to turn me into Joseph Bloody Gordon-Levitt, aren't you?
25:26Well, you won't.
25:27I never murdered any bloody pigeons.
25:28I'm an actor.
25:29That's all I've ever wanted.
25:30And I don't need to hear any more of this, Kathy...
25:34Bloody Freeman.
25:37Sorry.
25:38I know you two are close.
25:41I...
25:43Simon, you want a minute?
25:52What was that?
25:53You're right about that woman.
25:54Bloody character assassin.
25:56So you weren't arrested?
25:57No.
25:59Well...
25:59Yes, I was, but...
26:01But you didn't make a deal.
26:04Technically, yes, I did.
26:05But...
26:09Trevor.
26:10Just...
26:12Just tell me what the hell is going on.
26:21I've been working for the Department of Damage Control.
26:27You've been spying on me?
26:32Gathering information.
26:45So...
26:50Midnight Cowboy.
26:55The audition?
27:05My mom's birthday?
27:14You've been getting dirt on me the whole time.
27:17Simon, I didn't know you when this all started.
27:20And I fell for it.
27:20I just bought the whole thing like a...
27:24Like an idiot.
27:31I thought you were my friend.
27:33I am.
27:35I bought your time.
27:37I haven't given him anything big.
27:39You're a kind, man.
27:40I can figure a way out of this.
27:42How?
27:44I don't know!
27:49Right.
27:57That's a hell of a performance, man.
28:02No!
28:10It's just a hammer.
28:11I know.
28:19The eventually turns around.
28:24The next point of the other, we all went in.
28:25Is this going to be a really scary minivan?
28:25Okay.
28:26Oh no.
28:28It's just a little bit too loud.
28:28I'm not all about the movie.
28:28It's just a memory.
28:56I've been cheated
28:58I've been mistreated
29:02When will I, I'll be loved
29:10I've been put down
29:13I've been put down
29:17When will I, I'll be loved
29:24When I find a new man
29:28That I want for a man
29:31It always breaks my heart in two
29:35It happens every time
29:41I've been made blue
29:44I've been lied to
29:48When will I, I'll be loved
29:53When will I, I'll be loved
30:32When will I, I'll be loved
30:40When will I, I'll be loved
30:45Tell me
30:48When will I be loved
31:00When will I, I'll be loved
31:01When will I, I'll be loved
