00:00I'm good about that because it's exciting to also finish something and finish in a way that's strong.
00:07I feel it's really strong.
00:09From where we began seven, eight years ago to where we are now is night and day.
00:14And Venom wasn't a film then. It wasn't a character on his own.
00:18There's so much optionality that can be done with Venom.
00:21There's so much interaction, integration between the universes and Disney and Sony, how they want to play it.
00:28To come on board at the beginning of it and to end up finishing with my partner, writing partner and producing partner,
00:37who's now directing it, it's also a kind of wonderful way to finish and say, you know, the evil.
00:45I think you don't need to have seen Venom 1 or 2 in many ways to have fun and enjoy this movie.
00:50This is a big, fun movie.
00:53The breadth of it and the scope and the epic nature and the fun, it's a lot of fun.
00:58Yes, it's a superhero movie, but it's diverse and wicked and funny and it's a pleasurable evening out.
01:05And it's super high-octane fun. It's good fun.
01:08All the great ideas I come up with.
01:10That's all Tom.
01:11That's all me. Anything you're enjoying, that's my humble contribution.
01:16Anything that you find difficult or laborious to work with, this is like, you know, it's a skill.
01:22Exactly.
01:23I don't have. But if you're enjoying it, that will probably be something that I've done.
01:28Your idea. If you enjoyed it, it was your idea.
01:30You shot, though. You shot it.
01:32I just made it look good.
01:34Wow.
01:35And you did. And you nailed it as well.
01:38And it's like, she's never even done a student. Not even an advert. Nothing.
01:42Just like, hold my beer. Hold my ice latte. Give me the camera.
01:48I think the whole thing is an investigation of having a very primal internal voice that wants to do whatever it wants to do, whenever it wants to do it.
02:03It's just personified in Venom as a creature, you know, who eats people's heads to survive.
02:09And it has its own Machiavellian way of thinking and it's from another planet, so it has a completely different cultural system.
02:14But it's very similar to the internal dynamics of the very different personalities that a human being has.
02:19Like you say, we've all got our own personal Venom, you know.
02:22I don't think it's like your good side or your bad side.
02:24It's just that, oh, I wish I could just do this and this is what I would do if I could.
02:29And then you have to put that away and carry on being a grown-up.
02:32Whereas Venom is allowed to do those things.
02:35And so the exploration of that over three films has been a pleasure, you know.
02:39First one, they got to meet each other and they're stuck together.
02:43Second one, they've had enough, they split up, but they get back together because they can't live without each other.
02:48And then the third one, they agree to be one and then they have to face hell together.
02:53And we see how that goes for them.
02:55And it's the beginning of that journey, you know.
