00:00Because this is actually, it is also a movie about love.

00:03So we are celebrating the love that has grown between a producer and a studio,

00:08the love of a family.

00:09You know, what does it mean to continue to be preaching that message

00:14as we continue to talk about one love?

00:17It feels great.

00:18I mean, we all came in, came into this thing with that

00:23that instinct to make it be authentic with Bob's faith

00:27and with the energy of loving it.

00:29And Mike and the Paramount team, I mean, we all were on the same page with that.

00:33You know, Michael, I am curious for you, because we are celebrating

00:37this kind of evolution in the industry of understanding

00:40how much value that faith and spirituality driven content has.

00:45What has that kind of looked like for you and continues to look like at Paramount?

00:51Well, there's just something universal about the idea of one love

00:55and something universal about the idea of the hope that's presented in this

00:57in this movie, regardless of faith or creed or nationality.

01:01It's something that can, you know, live across the world.

01:03And hopefully we did a good job in this movie,

01:06making sure that that message is transmitted around the globe.

01:11And now I keep bothering you all about the idea of what's next.

01:14But I am curious, what is next?

01:16What types of stories now that this one has been so successful?

01:20Do you want to see told whether that's more Marley family stories or not?

01:25Well, that's your biopic or not.

01:28That's my question.

01:31It's for Ziggy, it's for Ziggy.

01:34Ziggy, you first.

01:36I mean, it's good for representing in the right way,

01:39represent things in the right way.

01:41And I think, yeah, I mean, whatever ideas we'll come up with in the future,

01:47you know, on our own or with a partner, it's always got to be

01:52treated with respect and treat people's spirituality and faith with respect.

01:57So I don't know what's in the future, but whatever it is,

02:00it's going to be dealt with the right way if I'm involved.

02:06I think, if anything,

02:08this movie provides a roadmap for Paramount, for other studios

02:13to find ways to encourage them to find ways to tell stories

02:16that can be simultaneously commercial, but also have soul.

02:22What's it been like seeing this vision come to life?

02:25It's been amazing, really.

02:26It's been such a sort of monumental thing in our life.

02:32Our children have grown in the past couple of years

02:35through this process, watching their parents and all of our friends

02:40and family watch the different screenings and different versions of the film.

02:44It's been really amazing.

02:46It's definitely something that I don't think any of us will ever forget.

02:49This whole film and this whole experience.
