00:02 - Hi everyone, I'm James Wan,

00:06 director of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

00:09 For me, the fun stuff,

00:11 when Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson are together,

00:14 they have good chemistry together.

00:15 For me as a filmmaker,

00:16 it's kind of fun to just sort of see them

00:18 goof around on set.

00:19 Probably the goofiest moments

00:20 is whenever they have to interact

00:23 with sea creatures that are not really there,

00:25 or that they are performed by someone in a green suit.

00:29 Shooting in the scene, we're all very serious,

00:31 but when you stand back

00:33 and you go look at it through the camera,

00:35 or on the monitor screen, it's pretty funny.

00:37 I really designed this film for the big screen.

00:39 I shot the movie aspect ratio 240,

00:42 which is cropped like that.

00:43 Then when I get into the big Atlanta scenes,

00:45 I would open it up, right?

00:46 Like into full, you know, sort of full screen, big screen.

00:49 And we spent a lot of hard work and effort in designing.

00:53 Every tiny little details undersea world.

00:56 I think people will see things on the big screen

00:59 that they may not see on TV.

01:01 I definitely do think that technology has improved

01:03 so dramatically between the first movie and this one

01:06 that I can kind of really,

01:08 I can push the animal off more.

01:09 We have a scene in the movie where a chase sequence,

01:12 almost like a car chase through Atlantis,

01:14 where they go through different parts of Atlantis,

01:17 and one of them is a night market.

01:18 So what does a night market looks like in Atlantis, right?

01:21 What does a freeway look like underwater?

01:23 All these things can just add

01:24 to the fun of making it and then ultimately watching it.

01:28 The movie has message as well.

01:30 The message of kind of protecting the world that we live in.

01:33 We only have one planet.

01:34 We all maybe need to come together,

01:36 put our differences aside and work as one.

01:39 I think, you know, like those are very universal messages.

01:42 And also the concept of Arthur

01:44 needing to work closely with his brother.

01:47 The concept of blood is thicker than water.

01:50 Family is important.

01:51 And so, you know, it plays with a lot of these themes

01:53 that I tend to play with in a lot of my films.

01:56 I cannot wait for everyone to check out this movie.

01:59 It's a continuation of the first film.

02:00 If you enjoyed and loved the first movie,

02:03 it's pretty much that and more.

02:05 We discovered new worlds and new characters,

02:07 and I'm super proud of it.

02:09 I hope you guys will have fun watching it.

02:11 See you in the theaters.

02:12 (dramatic music)

02:14 - You want blood?
