Simon Thompson: Kuv tau tos ntsoov yuav pom qhov no ib ntus, tab sis nws deb dhau kuv qhov kev cia siab. Puas yog qhov kev tshwm sim uas koj tau muaj los ntawm ob peb tus neeg?

Gina Prince-Bythewood: Yog lawm. Nws yog ib qho zoo kawg nkaus teb. Ua siab ncaj, kuv xav tias nws pib nrog lub studio tsis paub txog qhov loj ntawm zaj yeeb yaj kiab no, qhov xwm txheej ntawm nws, tsis yog nyob rau hauv qhov ntawm nws tab sis kuj nyob rau hauv lub siab. Peb xav tias nws tau teeb tsa, tab sis koj yeej tsis paub txog thaum koj pib muab tso ua ke, tab sis cov tshuaj tiv thaiv tau zoo kawg nkaus.

Prince-Bythewood: Muaj qhov kev ntxias ntawd, muab yam khoom hauv khw. Thaum kuv los txog rau qhov no, kuv tau hais los ntawm qhov pib tias qhov no yog keeb kwm epic ua yeeb yam, thiab peb yuav tsis hnov ​​​​qab qhov ua yeeb yam ntawm nws. Rau kuv, lub sijhawm nyob ntsiag to, lub siab xav, yuav tsum hnov ​​​​zoo li loj thiab epic thiab tseem ceeb raws li cov teeb tsa, thiab kuv yeej tsis tau hloov los ntawm qhov ntawd.

Thompson: Qhov nthuav dav rau kuv hauv qhov no yog qhov tsis txaus ntseeg kiag li, los ntawm kev hnav khaub ncaws mus rau cov plaub hau mus rau qhov cam khwb cia lit thiab tua. Qhov ntawd zoo li tseem ceeb thoob plaws lub rooj tsavxwm, sab saum toj mus rau hauv qab.

Prince-Bythewood: Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev vim peb tab tom qhia ib zaj dab neeg tseeb thiab yog lub ntiaj teb tsim. Authenticity yog lo lus uas kuv siv nrog txhua tus neeg koom nrog hauv txhua yam khoom siv tes ua uas koj tab tom tham txog. Nws pib nrog Akin McKenzie, peb tus tsim tsim khoom. Nws tau los ntxov, thiab peb tau ua qhov tob tshaj plaws hauv kev tshawb fawb, nrhiav qhov chaw twg yog qhov tseeb ntawm lub sijhawm no thiab qhov chaw, lub nceeg vaj, thiab cov poj niam. Ib txhia tau ua phem heev rau txoj kev uas lawv tau sau vim yog lub lens lawv tab tom saib. Uas tau hais tias, peb pom cov ntawv xov xwm zoo kawg no sau los ntawm ob tus txiv neej no uas tau mus rau lub nceeg vaj thiab lawv cov lus piav qhia ntawm lub palace, cov ris tsho, cov neeg, thiab ib puag ncig, thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov kuv xav muab tso rau ntawm qhov screen. Nws zoo li mus tawm tsam tib neeg txoj kev xav ntawm Africa. Tau kawg, Africa yog ib thaj av uas muaj ntau lub tebchaws, tab sis qhov tseeb, lub nceeg vaj no thiab nws yog dab tsi, lawv hais tias cov txuj ci yog nyob rau hauv cov ntsiab lus, thiab peb xav kom muaj tseeb.

Thompson: Thiab muaj ntau yam nthuav dav.

Prince-Bythewood: Peb xav kom tau cov etchings ntawm lub palace phab ntsa kom raug, dab tsi nyob rau ntawm lub qhov rooj; Qhov ntawd yog qhov kev lom zem ntawm kev sib txuas dots, txawm tias nws yog cov duab kos peb pom lossis lawv hnav dab tsi. Cov riam phom yog tag nrho cov qhabnias, thiab lawv yuav roj lawv cov tawv nqaij nrog cov roj xibtes kom cov neeg tsis tuaj yeem tuav. Koj yuav tsum muaj peev xwm sib ntaus sib tua, tab sis lawv tsuas muaj cov khoom me me no, cov luv luv, hauv qab. Lawv yog cov sib ntaus sib tua, yog li lawv tsis tuaj yeem khiav ncig hauv cov tiab txias. Cov ntsiab lus no tseem ceeb heev rau kuv, cov neeg ua yeeb yam, thiab cov thawj coj saib xyuas uas tau coj qhov tseeb tiag.

Thompson: Thaum twg koj ua tiav zaj duab xis? Kuv nkag siab tias nws yog ib yam ntawm kev sib tw kom tau npaj rau Toronto Film Festival. Thaum twg koj xav li cas, 'Kuv yuav tsum tso qhov no ib leeg tam sim no.'?

Prince-Bythewood: (Luag) Kuv ntseeg tias nws raug kaw li peb lub lis piam dhau los, tab sis kuv ua tiav cov yeeb yaj kiab hnub Friday ua ntej lub koob tsheej. Kev pom cov teebmeem tseem tuaj txog lig, thiab tom qab ntawd kuv tau pom nws hauv IMAX hnub Friday, thiab qhov ntawd yog nws.

Thompson: Leej twg saib qhov ntawd nrog koj? Puas yog ib tug neeg caw me me?

Prince-Bythewood: Kuv tsis xav kom cov cam khwb cia pom nws kom txog thaum nws tiav lawm. Nws yog ib yam uas kuv muaj. Ntau npaum li cov neeg hais tias, 'Auj, Kuv tuaj yeem saib nws, thiab nws tsis tiav,' Kuv tsis nyiam nws. Nov yog zaj yeeb yaj kiab, yog li lawv sawv daws pom nws lub lim tiam. Qhov ntawd yog qhov zoo kawg tab sis yog lub sijhawm txaus ntshai, yeej rau kuv. Kuv paub tej hauj lwm zoo kawg uas lawv muab tso rau hauv thiab kev ntseeg uas lawv muaj nyob rau hauv lub zeem muag, thiab kuv tsis xav ua rau lawv poob siab, tab sis lawv txhua tus hlub nws. Nrog rau kev tshuaj ntsuam IMAX, nws tsuas yog kuv, peb tus DP Polly Morgan, thiab tus kws sau ntawv Terilyn Shropshire. Nws yog ib qho kev paub zoo kawg.

Thompson: Txawm nrog Lub Xeem Qub, qhov no yog zaj duab xis loj tshaj uas koj tau ua. Koj tuaj yeem qhia kuv li cas txog kev ntxhov siab ntawm kev noj qhov no? Puas yog nws ntaus koj hmo ua ntej koj pib tua raws nraim qhov no loj npaum li cas?

Tub Vaj Ntxwv-Bythewood: Ua siab ncaj, nws ntaus kuv ua ntej ntawd. Thaum nej mus ua movies zoo li no los ho yog Lub Xeem Qub or Poj Huab Tais, koj yuav tsum taug kev hauv chav ntawd nrog swagger thiab kev ntseeg siab thiab ua rau lawv ntseeg tias lawv tuaj yeem ntseeg koj nrog ntau lab nyiaj daus las. Koj mus rau hauv, tham s ** t, thiab hais txhua yam yog lawm; pom tseeb, txhua tus, suav nrog kuv tus kheej, ntseeg nws. Kuv tau txais lub gig hauv chav, ces kuv yuav tsum tau taug kev mus rau kuv lub tsheb. Kuv zaum hauv kuv lub tsheb, thiab zoo li, 'Damn, tam sim no kuv tau dhau los lawm.' Qhov ntawd yog qhov kev ntshai tshwm sim, tab sis qhov kev ntshai ntawd zoo vim tias nws tau tsav kuv thiab thawb kuv mus rau hauv txoj haujlwm kuv xav tau los ua pov thawj tias txhua yam kuv hais hauv chav uas kuv tuaj yeem xa tuaj. Qhov loj ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab zoo li no qee zaum tuaj yeem dhau los vim tias muaj ntau qhov txav mus los thiab ua ntau yam. Kuv tau tham nrog Rian Johnson, thiab kuv yeej tsis nco qab nws vim kuv tau mus xyuas nws thaum nws tab tom ua. Lub xeem Jedi. Kuv nug nws tias, 'Ua li cas koj thiaj tsis ntxhov siab Star Wars? Nws hais tias nws tsis muaj teeb meem npaum li cas koj muaj nyiaj lossis tag nrho cov khoom ua si koj muaj; koj yuav tsum qhia zaj dab neeg zoo ua ntej. Khaws rau hauv kuv lub taub hau kiag li grounded kuv thaum nws pib tau me ntsis loj.

Thompson: Nrog rau ib qho yeeb yaj kiab, koj yuav tsum sib ntaus sib tua ntau yam. Dab tsi yog kev sib ntaus sib tua uas koj yuav tsum tau tawm tsam nrog qhov no? Kuv tabtom kwv yees ib qho ntawm qhov loj tshaj plaws yog lub tswv yim qub uas cov yeeb yaj kiab nrog cov poj niam muaj zog, thiab feem ntau dub cam khwb cia, tsis ua nyiaj.

Prince-Bythewood: Nws pib ntawm qhov koj hais, ua rau tib neeg pom qhov muaj nuj nqis hauv zaj dab neeg no, hauv qhov cam, hauv cov cim no, thiab nws yog ib qho nyuaj uas yuav tsum tau tawm tsam thiab ua pov thawj tias cov neeg zoo li koj muaj nqis. Tab sis, ua siab ncaj, qhov ntawd tau tshwm sim thoob plaws kuv txoj haujlwm. Thaum peb dhau qhov teeb meem ntawd, peb tau txais cov nyiaj, thiab Sony ntseeg hauv lub zeem muag; tseem sib ntaus. Zaj movie no yog dab tsi? Yuav ua li cas yuav nyiam cov neeg tuaj saib? Ib daim yeeb yaj kiab ua yeeb yaj kiab tag nrho, ntawm daim ntawv, yuav nyiam ntau tus neeg, tab sis rau kuv, nws yuav tsis yog qhov ntawd. Kev tua thaum Omicron yog tawv thiab txaus ntshai vim peb tau zoo, thiab tom qab ntawd peb tsis yog. Nws ntaus ntawd sai. Muaj ib qho kev ntshai tiag tiag ntawm seb peb puas yuav rov qab los tab sis kuj rov qab los ntawm txoj hauv kev kom peb cov cam khwb cia zoo. Qhov ntawd hloov li cas kuv yuav tsum tau tua vim tam sim ntawd, kuv tsis tuaj yeem muaj 400 tus neeg ua yeeb yam tom qab hauv qhov xwm txheej. Nws tsuas yog tsis muaj kev nyab xeeb. Kuv yuav tsum tau txiav qhov ntawd los ntawm ib nrab thiab ua kom muaj tswv yim ntau dua nrog kev ua haujlwm ntawm lub koob yees duab. Kuv muaj cov neeg ua yeeb yam ua txhua yam lawv tus kheej sib ntaus, tag nrho lawv tus kheej stunts, ntsej muag thiab nto qaub ncaug thiab tuav thiab tawm hws; koj tsis tuaj yeem hnav lub qhov ncauj qhov ntswg hauv qhov xwm txheej ntawd. Peb yuav ua li cas kom lawv muaj kev nyab xeeb? Peb tau bubbled txhua leej txhua tus thiab sim txhua hnub, tab sis qhov zoo li ntawd nyuaj rau peb lub sijhawm. Qhov no yog 63-hnub tua. Lub dav hlau sib ntaus kuv tua rau Lub Xeem Qub yog ob tug neeg nyob rau hauv lub raj, tsib hnub ntawm kev tua. Kev sib ntaus sib tua loj hauv Poj Huab Tais coj 11 hnub, thiab tam sim no kuv tab tom ua kev sib ntaus sib tua nrog ntau pua tus neeg ua yeeb yam tom qab thiab tag nrho cov vignettes tshwj xeeb. Qhov ntawd yog hem. Kuv zoo li, 'Peb yuav ua li cas thiaj ua tau?' Koj paub nws, thiab koj ua nws.

Thompson: Tib neeg tau muab qhov no piv rau Gladiator, Qhov kawg ntawm cov mohicans, Thiab Braveheart. Kuv kuj tau txais kev nkag siab ntawm qee cov yeeb yaj kiab ntawm 70s nrog cov poj niam dub muaj zog pem hauv ntej thiab nruab nrab, zoo li Foxy Brown. Qhov chaw thiab cov ntsiab lus yog qhov txawv heev, tab sis puas yog cov kev cuam tshuam ntawm tag nrho?

Prince-Bythewood: Kuv tsis tau hnov ​​lossis xav li ntawd, tab sis qhov ntawd yog qhov zoo kawg. Nws tau pib nrog cov yeeb yaj kiab uas kuv nyiam: Braveheart, Gladiator, thiab cov keeb kwm epics kuv xav pom kuv tus kheej hauv.

Thompson: Kev sib raug zoo ntawm Viola Davis 'Nanisca thiab Thuso Mbedu's Nawi, ob qho tib si zoo kawg nkaus hauv qhov no, ua rau kuv nco txog qee yam kuv tau nyeem txog thawj zaug koj ntsib Viola ntau xyoo dhau los. Zaj dab neeg hais tias nws nyuaj me ntsis rau koj vim nws xav tias koj tsis nyiam nws. Qhov kev sib ntsib thawj zaug puas cuam tshuam txog kev sib raug zoo ntawm ob tus neeg hauv zaj yeeb yaj kiab no?

Prince-Bythewood: (Laughs) Ua rau kuv luag. Yog lawm, qhov kev sib raug zoo ntawm Nanisca thiab Nawi, uas lub taub hau ntawm lub taub hau, lawv sim daws thiab sib tham nrog ib leeg yog ib qho kev sib tham zoo, yeej yog raws li qhov tseeb thiab sim ua kom nws xav tias tiag thaum peb pop nws. ntawm qhov screen.
