00:00 There is a world to enjoy, traverse, circumnavigate.

00:05 Let us do this.

00:07 [Music]

00:17 I always thought that we should build a world according to Bella and to her understanding and perception of it.

00:24 We're in Budapest, in Hungary, shooting on many sound stages.

00:28 Our world has been built. It's been unbelievable.

00:31 I could never figure out someone specific.

00:34 I thought that maybe if I put two people that have, you know, very different minds together

00:39 and if it worked out and if they got along, it would become something very interesting.

00:44 We all share as collaborators a admiration for Yorgos' work and absolute love of the script.

00:51 I have adventured it and found nothing but sugar and violence.

00:55 It is most charming.

00:57 [Music]

00:59 It felt sort of timeless. Your mind just starts racing of where it could go.

01:04 London, Lisbon, Paris. We've built a composite set, epic in scale.

01:09 Yorgos wanted a 1930s film but with today's technology.

01:13 [Music]

01:16 They worked very closely in tandem and I remember seeing the early look books of what they were working on

01:21 because they have two very different sensibilities that seem to have met up so beautifully.

01:26 I mean, you could see they have created a world.

01:29 It's Victorian. It's a dream. It's gorgeous. And it really does serve the vision.

01:37 It really defines the story we're telling.

01:40 It's got a refined aesthetic but it's also got a sense of humor.

01:44 [Music]

01:48 I got scared for a second. I thought we were trapped in here.

01:51 There's so much originality. There are fish on Bella's ceiling and there's seaweed and a mirror that has ears

01:58 and these padded silk walls with cityscapes sewn in. I want to copy it. I want to live in that bedroom.

02:05 The functioning shops, the doors lead to actual rooms. It's incredible.

02:11 [Music]

02:13 I do think that there's a spiritual connection that happens.

02:16 You don't have to make anything up. Everything's there. Everything that you need is there.

02:21 And then there's more. It feels like something of the era but also it has so many nods to the future.

02:28 We used the latest technology but also tapped into some old school techniques like miniatures or painted backdrops.

02:37 I think it was an interesting combination of techniques.

02:41 And it is as big as it looks even in a four millimeter lens which is the widest possible angle.

02:48 It's bigger than that. I've never seen anything like it.

02:52 [Music]
