00:00The book is beautiful, you know, and actually what we've done here, I think, is a pretty strong, yeah, representation
00:08of what's happening in the book.
00:10My favorite part of the book is when Xaeli reunites with her mother.
00:15I won't get into the details too much to not spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it, but it's
00:21like a spiritually transcendent moment and it's so beautiful.
00:25I would say that my most exciting thing about it was the kind of panthernares and lionnares and just kind
00:31of seeing the things around the world.
00:33I can't wait for the world to see it because it really is amazing what we put together.
00:38I think the characters are so...
00:41Vivid.
00:42The world building is so special, it's so immersive, you know, and that's, I think, probably the thing that is
00:49really captured in the film as well.
00:51I think I was looking forward to all the stunt sequences because obviously we do our own stunts.
00:56Thanks, Gina.
00:57And then I think one thing that I was nervous about was the scene that made me want to tell
01:02the story where Xaeli talks to a nun about her being afraid.
01:06Yeah.
01:06Yeah, that's, yeah, emotionally, mentally.
01:09Woo!
01:09Yeah.
01:10The scene I was most excited about, like the one I have to shoot because it was, I seen Rosalie,
01:16our hero, creates this giant creature and goes after our villains.
01:23I was like, I gotta shoot that.
01:26It's one of my favorite scenes.
01:28Everything that was in my head.
01:29It's one of my favorite scenes.
