Starting point is 00:01:10 It means literally the world coming. I like, I've seen everything, and this was my most anticipated for the beginning of the year, and the balance you guys find in the romance feel so real, and I love the chemistry. Was there any sort of influence in pop culture? Was there a song? Was there a couple in real life that went into charming you guys together? There were songs. song. We had, we both found out very quickly that we both had very sensitive

Starting point is 00:01:32 playlist for our characters and I had, I don't know if you had them, I had a crossover song so I'd be like, this is my song for Nate and Sherry. Well you, yeah, there was one song in particular that I played for me, first day of my life, first day of my life by, uh, oh, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's a great song, I know, it's really, do the song Lua, what did you say? I don't know. Okay, it's a great song, uh, and, um, I think that movies, movies-wise, I remember watching a lot of, uh, this is the first time I really used other movies to help me in a movie. But like, obviously action movies out of the 80s,

Starting point is 00:02:05 stuff that's character-based, and, you know, we care about the action because we care about the people doing it. But also stuff like true romance and, oh God, before sunrise, just movies where people fall in love very quickly. Because, you know, the whole movie hinges on you rooting for this relationship, so we wanted to make sure we rehearsed. A couple who's been on one day. One day.

Starting point is 00:02:26 Which is crazy. But it's the biggest display of love. the movie and I love that. But yeah, we worked on it for weeks and, you know, we just, it was so intentional I think on the part of Dan and Bobby Als. Everyone was aware that that is a crazy thing to do. And so we all were like, okay, how do we,

Starting point is 00:02:42 how do we find this, how do we make it work, how do we... Yeah, how do we make it to that Nathan Cade isn't just an absolute psychopathic. You get out of tones of that. But I also love that this is a huge IP-feeling movie, but it's original. So you get to incorporate some of your own things. Based on anything. hang out like this are, as much as I love, you know, franchises and genre and all that stuff.

Starting point is 00:03:01 And you're not a stranger to either. Neither of you are strangers to IP. I just love it. This is our own little thing. Yeah. So getting to put your fingerprints on now classic iconography, the leather jacket scene, the sherry cherry, there's moments that feel immediately classic. Was there anything that you wanted to put your finger? Like, I can tell this guy listens to Nick Drake. Was there anything you wanted to put your fingerprints on? You're like, this is going to be like a cult or classic that we want to feel like a pop culture resonate. Oh, man. I mean, like you kind of You brought up outfits, like, I always love, I mean, you can't control it, but my favorite thing of the world is seeing anyone cosplay as any character I've ever played.

Starting point is 00:03:33 So if there's any Nathan Kane cosplaying, it'll warm my heart so much. I can see it, and anyone dresses as Nate, I mean, it's so cool. I second that. The looks, pretty icon. I really loved the looks in this movie for Sherry. They were so, like, fun and cute, and just, I, and also thank you for keying into Sherry Cherry. Yeah. That is what we named, I don't remember, I assume I was the first person to say that.

Starting point is 00:03:54 I don't know if that was true. Probably you were on the set. Like, you were like, Cher Sharp. But we, I realize that she does not have a last name that we know of. And so we should be Sherry. Playfully named her Sherry Cherry, and that just is her name. One last question for you guys. Canon Sherry Cherry Cherry Update.

Starting point is 00:04:09 It's original IP. This is here in this interview. My last question for you was we were lucky enough. The three of us all got to see Prey in theaters. And that movie is made for the... We crashed an interview together. Is that when I first met you? That was the first time you and I crashed something together,

Starting point is 00:04:22 not in a party. Like, that was the first time we evolved into like a race. red carpet, let's terrorize the red carpet. So, yes, it's essential that that movie bring back to this moment, because it was a theatrical film to me, and I think it should have gotten a theatrical release. That's my big, modern, like, theaters. This movie

Starting point is 00:04:37 is so theatrical. I'm seeing it again in regular AMC. I'm going on the funeral with you guys Monday. I can't wait to watch the crowd. What moments are you most excited to watch people watch? I got really lucky recently. I got to go to Austin, Texas, to some of our early screenings, and I snuck in

Starting point is 00:04:53 to one of the theaters during the kitchen fights scene. And it was one of those moments where I was a little nervous coming in, because I'm like, okay, I really hope they get what we're doing. And then the noises I heard were like, these are the correct noises, like nervous laughter, screaming, whatever this sound is. It was just, it was, it was all there. But I think I'm really looking forward to this one scene where Nate's getting tortured. And he has to kind of pretend to feel pan. I'm excited to see that. Yeah, that's the one. Yeah. Kind of everything in that. Yeah, they're all just crazy. It's very fun.

Starting point is 00:05:25 All of the action sequences are so unique. Yeah. It's such a roller coaster. I can't wait for audience to see it. I truly loved it. And when we sit down for longer, I want it to, the acting is so good. You guys truly crushed.

Starting point is 00:05:33 It's so special. Like really something special. Dude, this means the absolute world coming from you. It's, and I'm so happy I got to see you. Yeah, I was wanting to know one of them to tell you. I wanted to, like, walk in and be like, ah. So, and in honor. My hope.

Starting point is 00:05:57 Absolute blast. I got to ask, though. This script is obviously sensational, but you've talked a lot about not wanting to be in the limelight and like trying to keep reserved, and this is obviously going to elevate that. Yeah. What was it about this script that you were like, all right, this is worth dealing with the world? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:12 Still don't know about that. I have regrets. I'm here to say I regret it. Am I retiring, actually? I'm done. No. It's so much fun. You know, it's so much fun.

Starting point is 00:06:23 And I get, I think, a chance to work with Dan and Bobby. You know, their films are so great, and they're such great dudes. And Jack is someone that I've heard about. He's, like, literally notoriously, intimidatingly nice. So, I, like, I just felt so, for a while it took me to be like, you belong here. It's okay. You can have a good time.

Starting point is 00:08:40 So great. I still get in Pumsey, my driver is a very good friend of mine still. He just had a child. Congratulations. He sends me beans from Pauline. After that, I'm ever traveling, I'm like popping at Pauline. Last question, I love to get the same experience. So this is like the ultimate romantic gesture, but it's also a movie about friendship.

Starting point is 00:08:58 And you were both like, with Smile 2, everybody talked about the bond. Yes. With your videos, with Talons and Dea, there's always that bond. Sure. What was it like forming friendships while also doing a movie that's about the ultimate romantic gesture? How did you guys all bond and see that love? I mean, I think, well, the first thing is that everyone was just great people. Yeah.
