You are non-specific in the beginning of this movie as far as, like, when exactly the movie is set.
00:04
But for yourself, how detailed did you get as far as just the timeline of events between war and kingdom?
00:10
Yeah, a couple hundred years is what we keep saying, you know.
00:13
It's just a thing where, you know, some people are like,
00:16
oh, the world doesn't look old enough, or the world doesn't look too old, it looks too old, or whatever it is.
00:21
So it's like, it's better just to, like, do many generations later,
00:24
and let them kind of think what that means for themselves.
00:26
But for us it's hundreds of years.
00:28
Enough time that kind of dark ages have happened, enough has been lost, eroded, you know,
00:33
and transformed, manipulated, you know, all that kind of stuff.
00:36
So, yeah, that's kind of where we went.
00:39
And we have ideas for, like, what sort of brought us to this point,
00:43
but it's really kind of fun just to drop right in the middle of this thing, and there's so much we don't know.
00:47
It just puts us in a good place to where we can just kind of rediscover a world along with these characters, you know what I mean?
00:53
Rather than just doing that kind of direct sequel thing, that was the choice, really.
00:56
It's to get some distance. It gave us a lot of opportunities, actually, and freedom, I guess, to kind of do our own thing.
01:01
You know what I mean?
01:02
Well, even, like, talking with the actors, like, I mean, they are such rich characters,
01:06
but you don't kill us with exposition.
01:08
Like, you don't give us everything.
01:10
We'll see if that works for people, but I chose to kind of do two plus two instead of four, right?
01:15
To give people, maybe people lean in and kind of do their own interpretations of things.
01:19
And partly that is just there's too much damn movie in it.
01:22
There's too much stuff, you know?
01:24
So hopefully we found that balance where there's enough to get you interested,
01:27
because we've got ideas where we can keep expanding all this stuff in the future, if we're lucky enough.
01:32
But you're right.
01:33
We tried hard not to, you know, to go and hold your hand too much.
01:38
We'll see if it works.
01:39
Sure.
