00:00Congratulations on this film. I know Ryan Coogler said that this is much more than just a vampire horror
00:06So, how would you describe this genre and also the other elements at play?
00:11Man I've been dreading this question
00:16It's difficult for me to encapsulate
00:20And that's probably the whole point of this conversation, right
00:24All I can say is whatever you think it is think again
00:30But it guaranteed is a good night out
00:34All day, whenever you're going see it, you know, I also heard there's it's kind of part musical
00:40What can you say about that element of it? Yeah, it's all singing all dancing
00:44Always wanted to do a musical
00:48We had like Ludwig Goransson Serena Goransson
00:52in charge of all of the music
00:55So obviously they're like top-level expertise
00:58In the recording studio a lot. So I was living my best Beyonce life on this one. I'm sad. It's over
01:04Are you are you a tenor? Are you a bass? What would you say in your singing range? Versatile? Yeah, I'm ranging
01:10I'm ranging a little bit of a belt a little bit of a bell. It depends where I am. You know, it's circumstantial
01:18Also, no I said this is more than a vampire horror, but there's been a lot of iconic vampire movies throughout the years
01:24What would you say is one that really changed the game for you?
01:28So I'm a massive Gary Oldman fun. So he's Dracula
01:33Was kind of a little bit I hope I'm not saying too much here
01:38But a little bit of a North Star for me doing this. Yeah. Yeah, but Gary Oldman in general is
01:44You know
01:46For inspiration next up you have 28 years later
01:49What was it like kind of being a part of that cast and what are you excited for fans to see?
01:54Amazing amazing really lucky to to have done this
01:59Gone straight on to 28
02:02Was in good company here. I was on a good company there
02:07So it was amazing it was amazing nice to keep the momentum from this and then on to that and
02:13Yeah, look it's we go there we go there on it. So I think
02:20Yeah, I don't want to say too much
02:22Yeah, I don't want to say too much you know what I mean
