00:00For me, it was Indiana Jones and Goonies and things like that.
00:05It was anything Steven Spielberg, really.
00:07But, yeah, I think for me, this was what made me want to get in the business.
00:13It's that thing of you just wish you could be transported to these places and be with these people.
00:18And so to actually be in a movie that I pretended to be in when I was a kid is totally surreal.
00:23And to have it be with Natalie, which is she's one of the greatest actresses we have.
00:26And she's so much fun.
00:28And so to just laugh on set all day with her.
00:30And then, you know, I think another big thing is you need a director who has a vision that's going to do this differently and sort of put it out into their world with their own spin.
00:38And that's Guy.
00:38I mean, Guy was I've always wanted to work with him.
00:42And so when you have those ingredients, it's that is a pinch me moment for sure.
00:45This movie is a pinch me moment.
00:47Couldn't agree more with John, except feelings mutual about how fun he was to work with and how brilliant he is.
00:53And it was just so rare to get the chance to make this kind of movie that I'm always looking for to watch with my kids.
01:01Like what's something that I'm going to have fun watching and my kids are going to have fun watching and makes them like excited, curious, adventurous and inspires all of those feelings.
01:12So it was just the coolest experience.
01:15And Guy is the most fun leader for this kind of thing.
01:20He just is so inventive, so calm, so kind.
01:25And it's just the most fun environment.
01:27We've talked a lot about Indiana Jones, which is absolutely one of the ones I was just in love with the movie, the sense of the whole thing and their performances.
01:34And maybe like something like Jurassic Park when I was just a little bit into my, I guess, teens at that point.
01:40I just thought it was incredible.
01:42So, yeah, maybe those two.
01:43Yeah.
01:43For me also, we think of like big, you know, the mummy and Tomb Raider.
01:50I think Thomas Crown Affair is an amazing adventure movie as well, while being a romance movie.
01:55But we can't forget about like Disney, like Aladdin is like an amazing adventure movie or like The Lion King is an adventure movie.
02:03Anything that is like go with your pals, find a meaning of the greater good.
02:07And those, I mean, Disney does that a lot.
02:09And so I grew up on those for sure.
