00:00I have read that you didn't watch the original when it came out, but as a man who's heavily involved in the British film industry,

00:06can you remember how that film changed the British film industry and how Danny Boyle and Alex Garland went to it as well?

00:10Yeah, I can remember. I don't know why I didn't. I don't know. For some reason, I didn't see it.

00:28How does that feel, to be rubbed down in that substance every day you get out the trailer?

00:31Is it like a therapeutic way to start the morning?

00:33Not really. No. It wakes you up.

00:44Yes.

00:44Is it what you know about the birth of the franchise and the outside film?

00:48I'm really thrilled. Look, I'm a Donald Sutherland fan.

00:53I'm sure I'm not going to try and be Donald Sutherland because no one can be him.

00:58But I think the character he created is very complex and the complexity of that psychology,
