  Speaker 1: kind of... Trailer? It's like a trailer, but it's like
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a here's how we made the movie and why we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: made the movie kind of thing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.

  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. The making of. Yeah. What is that?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: What do you want, Miss Hagen?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Clayface is expanding what the DC Universe can be. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it goes to a very dark, unexpected place.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That's a guy, right? Yeah.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That's Clayface.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: What would you do if everything that you'd built was
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: taken away from you?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I want my life back. We are making a true
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: horror film. This isn't cosmetic surgery.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You are on that razor's edge, digging into the darkness
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of this character, but also you had a kind of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: empathy for him. What's happening to me?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, it really gets into.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: How we can be manipulated into different shapes, physically and emotionally.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Into the body horror aspect. I have kind of a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: horror thriller, but it's also a revenge story.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: You'll see the descent into who this man becomes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: This is a character who is loved by the fans,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and we have an opportunity to do something really different.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: He is an actor who runs afoul of the mob.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: They.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: beat him up and cut up his face. And that's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: his moneymaker, you know.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Matt Hagen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So he undergoes an experimental procedure that, well, makes him
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: kind of liquidy. You broke my heart.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But, yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So tickets went on sale. And it's interesting because James Gunn,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: who is the head of, you know, the DC movie
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and TV division at Warner Bros., or is it Skydance,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: or is it, I don't know anymore. It's Skydance. But,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he's always on social media, and somebody tweeted out,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: who the F asked for a Clayface movie?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, why? Well, who did? Who cares?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Just some random user. Well, here's what Gunn said rather correctly. Well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: who TF asked for Back to the Future? There's something
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: about Mary, Pan's Labyrinth, Fury Road, Weapons of the Matrix.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Although it may seem like it, Hollywood isn't a place
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: where the only way to make a movie is the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: public voting on what IP they want to see that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they've seen countless times before.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Nice point. I'm glad he said that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes someone, in this case initially Mike Flanagan and then
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: James Watkins and Hossein Amini, were inspired by a relatively
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: little-known fictional character and crafted what I believe is a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: very special story around that character. I'd take that inspiration
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a thousand times over some writer trying to make a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: buck by writing a listless screenplay about a majority popular
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: character he or she has no passion or field for.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So there you go, James Gunn telling it like it is.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Doctor Who fans, you're getting sort of Doctor Who. The
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: BBC has released its first look at Doctor Who The
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: TARDIS Crew. It's an animated series for kids created for
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: CBeebies following the Doctor, a young Time Lord, and his
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: friends Hannah, Beastie, and Toasty.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Is this the first.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Time they've done an animated... It is apparently, yeah. As
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they embark on extraordinary adventures through time and space. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you're getting some Doctor Who. And finally this. If you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: look at your YouTube channel here or x96. com slash live,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Cinemark has revealed the Avengers Doomsday tie-in popcorn bucket. This
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: one makes sense more than most. It's just Doom's head.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And you open up the top of Dr. Doom's head
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and it's full of popcorn. Okay. All right. Can you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: transition that into a mask? Looks like a costume. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: don't know. What do you got against popcorn? I'm just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: saying after you eat the popcorn. You put more popcorn
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in it. You put more popcorn in it.
