00:00
To have three showrunners on this particular project,
00:04
I knew something was going to be very special.
00:07
And especially from Dan and Dave, you know,
00:10
former Game of Thrones, you know, what their next project,
00:13
you know, I had great interest.
00:16
Someone or something is targeting scientists.
00:24
They're going after our best and brightest.
00:29
There's someone behind everything.
00:32
You just have to dig.
00:35
Whatever it is,
00:39
it's watching and listening.
00:43
Tree Body Problem is a very big and mind-bending story.
00:50
But I want to know, Benedict,
00:52
what was the thing that really first drew you to the book or the script?
00:57
I was filming Doctor Strange at the time.
01:00
And then Nina Gold, the casting director,
01:03
and Robert Stern, the other casting director,
01:06
had told me that Dan and David and Alex Wu
01:11
would like a conversation with me.
01:13
So I opted on a Zoom.
01:15
They gave me a character breakdown,
01:17
which came across as some, well,
01:21
very familiar as if it was where I grew up.
01:24
My parents are from Hong Kong.
01:26
And Alex had confessed to copying my Wikipedia page.
01:33
So having been wooed by Alex Wu,
01:36
I was convinced to come on board.
01:40
I mean, to have three showrunners on this particular project,
01:46
I knew something was going to be very special.
01:49
And especially from Dan and Dave, you know, former Game of Thrones,
01:53
what their next project--I had great interest.
01:58
Diving straight into the books, I mean, just utterly incredible.
02:02
Very hard to read for me.
02:04
For me personally, how dense the science aspect was,
02:08
and I was kind of wondering how they were going to kind of tell the story
02:13
through the game and sort of feeling a bit confused within that.
02:17
But yet they've managed to tell this story.
02:22
And it's a feast for your eyes.
02:27
You know, Liam, both of your characters in the story
02:30
have sort of a love-hate relationship.
02:34
But what was your favorite part about filming with Benedict,
02:38
and how did you two develop that kind of chemistry with each other?
02:42
It came very quickly.
02:44
First of all, you start from the script,
02:46
and when I read these two characters who work together,
02:49
it just leapt off the page.
02:52
It made me smile when I was reading it.
02:54
And then when I was introduced to this gorgeous human being,
02:58
we started working together and rehearsing.
03:01
We have different methods of getting to the same place,
03:04
which complements the two characters wonderfully.
03:07
And we just had so much fun shooting the stuff.
03:10
And there wasn't a day we were working together that we didn't laugh.
03:15
But at the same time, we took the stuff incredibly seriously,
03:19
because we're both long enough in the game to realize
03:22
that these two characters are so different to each other,
03:26
and yet they complement each other beautifully.
03:28
And that gives real life to the relationship
03:32
where they're unlikely warriors in this battle for planet Earth,
03:39
which is sort of an ironic aspect to it, isn't there?
03:44
That these two are charged with protecting the human race.
03:49
- I'd also like to chime in, just working with Liam,
03:52
who's just absolutely fantastic.
03:54
I think it's sort of, yeah, we get on great,
03:57
and it's developing that relaxed atmosphere.
04:01
For me personally, it's really conducive for me
04:04
to allow an area to play and feel playful.
04:08
And we're grafters at heart,
04:11
and we're serious with the work, but not with ourselves.
04:17
- Well, thank you for having me here.
04:19
- No problem. Nice talking to you. - It's been a pleasure.
04:21

04:34
- They are coming, and there's nothing you can do to stop them.
