00:00One question for the theatre.

00:02One question for the theatre.

00:06We're in Las Vegas.

00:08Thanks very much. See you in Las Vegas.

00:12Can you say hi to Vegas?

00:14Hi Vegas. I'll see you guys next weekend.

00:18Of course, but it's a good pressure, you know.

00:20You want a good pressure. You have to have a good pressure in art.

00:22And it takes time to find great ideas.

00:26And we would never have made the film if we weren't ready to make it.

00:30So, was it daunting? Yes.

00:32Were we ready? Yes.

00:34I hope the results speak for themselves.

00:36I'm in that journey, but there is a hugely powerful emotional story

00:40about identity, about recognizing your past, and also about coming home.

00:45And I think those are the big themes of the film that we explore.

00:49Immersive. You want the audience to feel like they are living and breathing Rome.

00:54The blood, the sweat, the pain.

00:56Every part of Rome. The gravel.

00:58And I think between Ryd's modus operandi in the film,

01:02and as you said, where we've come through with VFX, where we've ended up now,

01:07we could achieve that.

01:08And I think this film, for the audience, is not just big spectacle and big action.

01:12You really feel like you're walking in the Colosseum with Lucius and others.

01:17So, if we've achieved that, even remotely, I think we've done a great job.

01:22I think the scale of the action, and also the technology,

01:26means we can show far more dramatic action pieces.

01:30That, I think, will surprise the audience.

01:51I think we've done a great job.
