00:00It's like, you're that guy from Twilight, where you used to be, you're the guy from Harry Potter.
00:03It's just a really strange experience.
00:20I don't have an instinct for marketing or really what anybody else wants,
00:24but I know what I like, and so I kind of...
00:27That's the only thing I can go off.
00:31And hopefully, if I like it, then at least one other person in the world will hopefully like it.
00:57It's huge, the whole project, so that's kind of intimidating,
01:01but you get used to being...
01:04And also, it's a machine, it's like an oiled machine before,
01:09because I've done so many already.
01:10So you kind of just have to fit in.
02:27I mean, Claire's been one of my favourite directors, I feel like.
02:32Back when I saw White Material in probably 2010 or something,
02:36I'd been trying to do anything with her.
02:46Because we had been watching what Rob had been doing,
02:49and the auteurs that he was kind of shacking up with,
02:52it was kind of insane to be like,
02:54oh, now he wants to work with us, this is kind of crazy.
03:15No, I think everyone always thinks,
03:17oh, you should just get social media because it will help,
03:19but you've got to be good at social media.
03:21It's a skill, and I know I'm not going to be good at it.
03:34There's something about how long the character's been around.
03:37It's been around for 80 years, and it's such a massive part
03:41of global culture, and it feels...
03:44It's not just doing a remake of a movie or something.
03:49You see every single day someone wearing a Batman T-shirt
03:53around the world.
03:55It's something that connects to people on such a primal level.
03:58I still don't really understand what exactly it is,
04:01but it really is deeply ingrained in people.
