  • So guys, Magic in the Moonlight was such a beautiful film. How would you get people who

  • don't usually see this type of film to go and see it? What would you tell them was so

  • good about it?

  • I don't know that I'd say there are things that are really good about it, but there are

  • many things that are very good about it.

  • Well listen, it's very hard to comment on our own department. She's very good in it,

  • and it looks beautiful.

  • He's great.

  • You know...

  • But it is hard to talk about your own movie, and tell people to go see your own movie.

  • It is.

  • Which is the irony of doing press.

  • I think it's taking you on a virtual journey into a world, which is heightened and beautiful.

  • It's playing with the idea of magic in its different forms, whether it's theatre craft

  • or just people falling in love or people finding things they don't expect, and it is... He's

  • described it. What did he call it?

  • A soufflé.

  • A soufflé. It's wilfully light. It doesn't come in the character of weighty material,

  • and so I think if you're in the mood for something which is - has a light, clever, highly pleasing

  • dexterity about it, it certainly worked for me. And I've only like about three things

  • I've ever done my whole life.

  • And Colin, your character, he doesn't care what other people think. You know, often refers

  • to him as a genius himself. So if you guys could not worry about what other people thought,

  • could be completely egotistical, what would you say were your best qualities?

  • Well, that wouldn't be egotistical, if you weren't worrying about what other people thought,

  • would it be? Or is that narcissistic? To not consider anyone else...

  • It can be, yeah.

  • What would we say are our own best qualities? What's your best quality?

  • That's actually an utterly impossible question. That really is where you plead the fifth.

  • That is really impossible.

  • No, nice try.

  • Dammit. Never mind. Obviously, there's a lot of telepathy kind of theme in this, looking

  • into the future. If you could see into the future, how would you like your lives to play out?

  • Oh God. These are really hard-hitting questions.

  • I don't want to for a start. That may sound like a dodge, but I'm on the record with this,

  • I don't want my palm read. I don't want a crystal ball, and I don't want any giveaways.

  • I suppose if you could convince me beforehand that it was all rosy, and it was going to

  • last for a very, very long time, then I might have a peek, but I don't want to find out

  • anything other than that. You know, I think struggling with one's relationship with the

  • present is challenging enough, so I wouldn't. I mean, if I could do one of the sci-fi films

  • where you get the chance to avert disaster, I suppose that might be something worthwhile,

  • but I don't want to know.

  • How about you, Emma?

  • I always want to know. I always want to know how things will turn out, what I can do to

  • change the future, how I can avoid certain disaster, and I think it's actually... It

  • is what Colin's saying. It keeps you from... It's just like living in the past. It keeps

  • you from staying in the present to constantly be focused on the future, and if you knew,

  • I mean God I don't know what that would do to you.

  • I'm guessing, sorry, was Colin there with what your'e saying, you kind of have that

  • similarity to your character then with not kind of completely believing everything that...

  • I don't resist knowing the future because I don't believe it's possible to know the

  • future. I don't know. I don't know if anyone has that power or not. And I'm not certain

  • enough to be as sceptical as Stanley is. It's because it might be real that it would make

  • me nervous or because it might not be real that I would worry about wasting my time,

  • so either way, I just don't see a case for it, and if one thinks about this, I mean,

  • can you imagine before taking a risk whether you could be sure... If you could look into

  • a crystal ball and guarantee the outcome, you wouldn't be risking it. You would know,

  • and therefore you wouldn't have to apply your judgement, and therefore what would it do

  • to us and our faculties? I think it would probably change the way we operate as human

  • beings, so I think that having to make a judgement using our wisdom or trying to find some wisdom

  • is all dependent on not being told.

  • Well if you guys then - hopefully you can answer this one - if you could contact someone

  • from the spirit world, who would it be and what would you ask them?

  • I think that would be wildly private.

  • Yeah. Oh there... You know, I can't think of them now, but there are a few mysteries,

  • you know.

  • Well they just solved Jack the Ripper.

  • I just heard this.

  • Is that beyond all doubt? From DNA or something? But they got who it is or just the nationality?

  • No, him.

  • We know who he is.

  • Wow.

  • Isn't that amazing?

  • See, I'd probably start with the crime stuff. I'd go back to solve them.

  • Alright then, I'll end on a nice one. What would you say was the best thing about working

  • with each other? I always like to hear when people are in different rooms, what they say.

  • But when you are together, what would you say?

  • Here we are in couple's therapy.

  • I always appreciate it. You may not see this.

  • You don't show. You don't show it. You really don't.

  • You think I know. You think I just know.

  • -But you should know. -I can't read your mind.

  • It's been wonderful being able to relate.

  • Thank you so much.

  • No, thank you guys.

  • Sorry we had no answers.

So guys, Magic in the Moonlight was such a beautiful film. How would you get people who
