Kit!
5
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,441
- Hi, I'm Erin Kellyman.
- I'm Ruby Cruz.
6
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:26,526
- I'm Tony Revolori.
- I'm Ellie Bamber.
7
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:28,486
- I'm Dempsey Bryk.
- I am Amar Chadha-Patel
8
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:29,571
and this is your look at
9
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:31,281
the behind the scenes of the making of...
10
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:33,825
Willow.
11
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:48,173
{\an8}Starting about, I don't know,
ten years after the movie was released,
12
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:52,177
a week would not go by without somebody
wanting to talk about Willow.
13
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,569
{\an8}Mm-hmm. First thing I did with George
was Return of the Jedi.
14
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:13,239
And then, I'd done the Caravan of Courage
and Battle for Endor.
15
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,868
And then, I went on to do Labyrinth which
George was involved in again.
16
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:19,120
AMAR CHADHA-PATEL: I read
an interview about Willow,
17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,914
where George Lucas had said that
18
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,916
when he'd met Warwick
on the set of Star Wars
19
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:26,294
{\an8}that he wanted to make a story
where the hero was unlikely
20
00:01:26,294 --> 00:01:28,213
{\an8}and not what you would
expect a hero to be.
21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,467
So I watched the original
to refresh my memory of everything
22
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:36,805
{\an8}and all the characters and kind of,
to remember how fun it was and how...
23
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:38,932
{\an8}I mean, how iconic it was, actually.
24
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:40,892
{\an8}How many times
have you worked with George?
25
00:01:40,892 --> 00:01:42,936
{\an8}- It's my third one.
- What were the other two?
26
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,771
Uh, I did Raiders of the Lost Ark.
27
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:46,481
And, um, Indiana Jones.
28
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:47,857
And, of course, this one.
29
00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:51,152
He's killed me four times in three films.
He doesn't like me.
30
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:55,448
{\an8}I feel like it's a movie
that doesn't take itself too seriously.
31
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,248
Excuse me, are we having a party?
32
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:04,332
- Huh?
33
00:02:04,332 --> 00:02:06,626
{\an8}You have this incredible experience,
which I did,
34
00:02:06,626 --> 00:02:09,879
{\an8}on the film and Ron Howard, directing,
George Lucas, producing.
35
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:13,424
It's my first real movie
and it's this giant, epic production.
36
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:16,010
It was out-of-this-world
and extraordinary.
37
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:17,887
{\an8}I was captivated by it.
38
00:02:17,887 --> 00:02:23,685
I was captivated by Warwick,
and by Joanne, and by Val Kilmer.
39
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:25,436
Obviously.
40
00:02:25,436 --> 00:02:28,064
We were all just
absolutely obsessed with it.
41
00:02:28,064 --> 00:02:31,484
You know, it was successful
when it came out, it was well-regarded.
42
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:35,738
But it, you know, it didn't have this,
sort of, place in pop culture.
43
00:02:35,738 --> 00:02:39,200
{\an8}I sort of tended to gravitate
toward the idea that,
44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,872
while, like, Indiana Jones and Star Wars
were the biggest things ever,
45
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:46,875
there was this other thing.
There was Willow.
46
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:52,463
George Lucas had always
wanted, not so much to do a sequel,
47
00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:54,591
but to develop it further on television.
48
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:58,553
And when Disney Plus came along,
suddenly we felt like,
49
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,513
well, there's a real home for this.
50
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:04,017
{\an8}To all the fans who've waited
over 30 years, the wait is over.
51
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:08,438
{\an8}Kasdan from his original conversations
with Ron Howard,
52
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:10,440
he's been kind of
building this world up
53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,652
and bringing his own kind of sensibility,
humor, and heart.
54
00:03:14,652 --> 00:03:15,945
{\an8}It has nostalgia, of course,
55
00:03:15,945 --> 00:03:17,947
{\an8}for those of us
that love the original movie.
56
00:03:17,947 --> 00:03:20,033
But it feels so fresh and modern
57
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:23,786
and he has managed to bring it
into a brand new moment in time.
58
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:29,125
So there's this specificity to Willow
and to the Lucasfilm brand.
59
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:31,502
And so, my mind kept going to this, like,
60
00:03:31,502 --> 00:03:34,380
dusty volume
sitting on a shelf somewhere
61
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:36,382
with "Willow" on its spine.
62
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:38,468
And like,
I wanted to write more of that book.
63
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:42,013
{\an8}Jon Kasdan encourages
a very inventive and bold approach.
64
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:46,935
But he also respects the skills
and the different qualities
65
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:48,645
each cast member brings.
66
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:50,188
I think as a new cast,
67
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:54,943
{\an8}there is pressure stepping in and
taking over, like, such a beloved story.
68
00:03:58,238 --> 00:03:59,572
Reading the scripts
69
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:01,908
and getting a sense
of the premise for the show,
70
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:06,412
this thing was gonna live or die
according to the cast.
71
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:11,209
So I was kinda nervous about
meeting the new team, as it were.
72
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:13,503
And they're so brilliant,
they're so brilliant.
73
00:04:13,503 --> 00:04:16,798
It's been a joy,
a genuine joy working with them.
74
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:18,424
The repartee that is between them,
75
00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:20,426
that isn't something
anyone needs to direct.
76
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,637
Uh, it's been a crazy day.
We've had a lot of...
77
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:24,639
- Where?
- It's that way.
78
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,516
- What?
- Lot of horse work going on today.
79
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:27,642
- Uh...
- I think... No.
80
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:30,270
- Amar, you gettin' on? Ruby?
- CHADHA-PATEL: No, I'll get the next one.
81
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,437
- Oh.
- Okay.
82
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:33,564
As you can see,
a lot of horse work going on.
83
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:38,528
I met Ruby, who plays Kit,
who's my twin, on a FaceTime.
84
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,280
- Oh, hey there. What's up?
- Hey.
85
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,616
{\an8}And within two seconds
I said, "I think I know you."
86
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,577
And then, progressively person,
by person, by person
87
00:04:46,577 --> 00:04:49,455
who I met,
we all kinda said the same thing.
88
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:53,376
{\an8}These people are my family.
I've been with them for so long.
89
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:57,839
When we're all six of us are together,
like, that's always very fun, you know.
90
00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:02,677
Um, we can never get anything shot,
but it's very fun.
91
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:04,637
Reach out to me.
92
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:09,559
What was it like
working with Warwick Davis?
93
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,020
Um...
94
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:16,899
Warwick has a lot of passion.
95
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:20,236
Like, well,
like a, like a lot of passion.
96
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:21,321
Really passionate.
97
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:30,747
He has so many great ideas.
98
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:35,501
Warwick is, uh...
99
00:05:35,626 --> 00:05:40,006
He's very... intense.
100
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:49,807
Can we get this thing towed
at owner's expense, please?
101
00:05:49,807 --> 00:05:53,353
He just has ideas.
He has a lot of ideas. Um...
102
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,272
For everyone about everything.
103
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:59,400
Whether you want them or not.
104
00:06:01,944 --> 00:06:03,279
How's that?
105
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,157
{\an8}He likes to remind people
he's number one on the call sheet
106
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:09,369
{\an8}which is... which is helpful, I think.
107
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:11,788
{\an8}Quiet, please.
108
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,123
{\an8}Don't wanna do this twice.
109
00:06:14,123 --> 00:06:17,168
And three, two, one.
110
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,421
I'm Warwick Davis
and I play Willow.
111
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,384
Hang on. No, do it again.
That was rubbish.
112
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:30,556
We have some of the best
113
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:33,684
hair people, makeup people,
set designer people
114
00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:36,854
{\an8}who have put such a show together
115
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:43,903
{\an8}that I have come in here and I'm just
blown away at the level of detail.
116
00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:45,947
I really liked the troll set.
117
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:49,617
It was cool to walk around in there,
it's very easy to actually get lost.
118
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:51,953
It's a whole thing as well.
It's a real maze.
119
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:55,623
It's not just one tiny, little corner
that everyone squeezes into.
120
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:57,500
They built a whole thing.
121
00:06:58,167 --> 00:06:59,502
This is a great crew.
122
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:03,005
Everybody from art department, um,
who've been looking at creative ways
123
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:04,841
to accomplish everything
you see behind us.
124
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:08,136
{\an8}And then the things you can't see
is what visual effects is gonna do later.
125
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:10,096
We have Industrial Light & Magic on
126
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,306
to supervise
all the visual effects for this work.
127
00:07:12,306 --> 00:07:15,435
Um, this is gonna be epic, even though
this is already an epic location.
128
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:18,604
Instead of being this height,
it's gonna be five or ten times taller
129
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:20,481
when we get into visual effects world.
130
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:24,485
So we're
in Bavmorda's chamber or High Tower,
131
00:07:24,485 --> 00:07:27,280
{\an8}That's where the climax
of Willow 1988 happens.
132
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,031
We see our characters from 1988
133
00:07:29,031 --> 00:07:31,742
and they interact
with our characters from 2021.
134
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:33,870
We looked in the archives
to try and find out
135
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,914
um, what suitable angles
would help tell the story.
136
00:07:36,914 --> 00:07:40,251
So try to line up whatever footage
we had with the POVs
137
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:44,380
and made sure that our characters
from 2021 were in the right position,
138
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:47,717
so they would line up
with the footage that we have to hand.
139
00:07:47,717 --> 00:07:50,636
So I'd imagine it'll take our team
about three or four months
140
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:53,389
to pull this together
and see 'em in this environment.
141
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:56,017
And seeing these sets
reconstructed for the series
142
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:58,019
has been quite somethin' as well.
143
00:07:58,019 --> 00:08:00,771
'Cause I believe
that most of this location
144
00:08:00,771 --> 00:08:02,440
in the movie was a painting.
145
00:08:03,191 --> 00:08:07,236
In the original movie, this dais part
was the only thing that existed.
146
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:09,280
The rest of it was a matte painting.
147
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,449
Kristian and his team
did an incredible job.
148
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:15,703
{\an8}We wanted to have it very similar
to what it looked like in the movie.
149
00:08:15,703 --> 00:08:17,914
- And Neal Scanlan
150
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:20,917
and the creatures department
are legendary.
151
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:26,756
They've worked with Lucasfilm and ILM
a lot on various Star Wars projects.
152
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:31,344
The attention to detail is wonderful
within the creature department.
153
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:36,140
You get a drawing, you get a maquette,
you get a full size sculpt.
154
00:08:36,807 --> 00:08:39,060
You're given a chance to give notes
155
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:42,730
to discuss possibilities
of how it'll look for real.
156
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:46,025
{\an8}Uh, to me, workin' on Willow
has been really demanding, actually.
157
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:50,112
Creating new characters
and starting afresh was amazing
158
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:53,866
and to find solution
to what Jon was writing was really fun.
159
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:56,202
Three, two, one, action!
160
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:57,286
Going down.
161
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,164
CHADHA-PATEL: Yeah,
the creatures are amazing.
162
00:09:00,164 --> 00:09:03,543
Actually, my favorite creatures
were the, um, the wererats.
163
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,461
- Okay, look out for the wererats.
- What?
164
00:09:05,461 --> 00:09:06,587
See ya.
165
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:10,049
CHADHA-PATEL: Kit and Boorman go
on a little side quest in episode three
166
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:11,467
and we get attacked by wererats
167
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:14,637
and there was this crazy,
two-headed rat that attacks Kit
168
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:17,473
while I'm down a well,
and just doing my own thing. Um...
169
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:20,977
And the puppetry was,
I mean, it's classic CFX.
170
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:25,106
Like, fully armatured puppets
with moving parts
171
00:09:25,106 --> 00:09:28,734
and fingers and eyes
and it looked so creepy and real.
172
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:30,820
It was covered in slime and gross.
I loved it.
173
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:35,032
{\an8}When I met my first troll,
I was totally gob smacked.
174
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:41,038
Uh, the detail that Neal had put into
the face, the wrinkles, everything.
175
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:44,125
Even the little warty things
that they had on their bodies.
176
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:48,546
{\an8}Uh, people always ask me, you know,
do I use Stanislavski or Meisner.
177
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:50,506
Which I always tell them
is a trick question
178
00:09:50,506 --> 00:09:53,467
because there would be
no Meisner without Stanislavski.
179
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:55,970
And, Pippa,
the makeup designer, as well,
180
00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:58,180
I think her work is awe-inspiring.
181
00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:02,226
I think she brings a wonderful
naturalism to everything she does.
182
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:05,313
{\an8}We thought we'd bring the world to life
with all of our backgrounds.
183
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:08,608
Backgrounds have got all the interesting
hair and everything like that.
184
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:10,818
Like our Tir Asleeners
we could go quite far with.
185
00:10:10,818 --> 00:10:12,778
We needed our heroes
to be really relatable.
186
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:15,031
We needed everyone
that watches it to kinda go,
187
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:18,367
"Oh, that... I kinda... I could be
that person, that could be me," you know?
188
00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:26,208
- Oh. Yeah.
189
00:10:26,208 --> 00:10:30,379
I was telling the crew how you do
everyone's makeup except your own,
190
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:32,632
- which is virtually impossible.
- Mmm.
191
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:35,509
{\an8}I'd say Warwick is very hands-on.
192
00:10:37,595 --> 00:10:43,517
Yeah. I think... hands-on
is a good way of describing it.
193
00:10:43,517 --> 00:10:44,644
I'm a perfectionist.
194
00:10:45,436 --> 00:10:48,189
Every tiny detail on the film set matters.
195
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:49,732
And I wanna be part of that.
196
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:55,029
I mean,
the guy has an incredible work ethic.
197
00:10:55,029 --> 00:11:00,826
He's involved in wardrobe,
makeup, production design.
198
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:03,245
{\an8}He's our on-set medic,
199
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:07,041
{\an8}which is weird
because he doesn't really have
200
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:10,670
any medical background or training at all.
201
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:13,589
Part of me thinks it is very irresponsible
202
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:17,009
and also weird
that he's chosen to be the medic.
203
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:20,012
But then, on the other hand,
I was chokin' on a chicken bone.
204
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:21,681
And he did save my life, so.
205
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,184
And then, you know,
there's the transportation thing
206
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:30,314
which is that he insists on picking up
all of the actors at their homes.
207
00:11:30,314 --> 00:11:34,860
The actors appreciate it but, weirdly,
like, he'll do it for all of them.
208
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:36,404
Except for Ellie.
209
00:11:40,282 --> 00:11:44,662
Seems to be like
actively sabotaging her call sheet.
210
00:11:46,997 --> 00:11:48,332
Yeah. Lovely.
211
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:50,251
{\an8}Thanks, Warwick. That's great.
212
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:51,335
{\an8}Thanks, Amanda.
213
00:11:51,335 --> 00:11:54,380
{\an8}Um, so we're gonna do
a few now with Ellie, if that's okay.
214
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,966
- Oh, yeah.
- So, yeah, where is she? Where's Ellie?
215
00:11:56,966 --> 00:11:58,050
No idea.
216
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,094
- Hello?
217
00:12:00,094 --> 00:12:03,597
It's locked from the outside. Hello?
218
00:12:03,597 --> 00:12:05,099
We got some great ones of me,
didn't we?
219
00:12:05,099 --> 00:12:06,642
- Yes. Yours was...
- Yeah.
220
00:12:06,642 --> 00:12:08,310
Thank you.
Yeah, no, they were great.
221
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:11,272
Well, this is Willow, after all.
So, uh, that's all you need.
222
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,024
- Absolutely, yes.
- Good.
223
00:12:14,024 --> 00:12:18,362
{\an8}I think we were most excited about
continuing the story of Elora Danan
224
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:20,448
who, of course, we only saw as a baby
225
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:24,201
and is now moved
into the central role of this series.
226
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,537
This is the baby
that he saved.
227
00:12:26,537 --> 00:12:29,707
This is the person that he, sort of, lost.
228
00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:30,791
She's back.
229
00:12:30,791 --> 00:12:33,627
I remember we sat down
with Warwick and told him
230
00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:36,172
that Elora Danan
would finally be in this story
231
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,507
and become the central character.
232
00:12:38,507 --> 00:12:41,761
And his response immediately was, "Why?"
233
00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:48,017
I genuinely, actually think Warwick
is a bit like, intimidated by Ellie?
234
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:52,688
I don't wanna say
that it's sabotage.
235
00:12:55,065 --> 00:12:58,527
But, but it is. It's sabotage, I think.
236
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:01,572
{\an8} No, that's ridiculous.
Are you kidding?
237
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:03,365
Warwick really likes me.
238
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:06,076
I think, maybe, at one point,
he got the idea that...
239
00:13:06,076 --> 00:13:07,161
Oh.
240
00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:10,289
I wanted to call the show Elora Danan
241
00:13:10,289 --> 00:13:12,249
- and he heard about that...
- Oh.
242
00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:14,210
Okay, Ellie.
We're ready for you on set now.
243
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:15,336
Thank you, Alec.
244
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,172
A major through line
in season one
245
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:22,760
is Elora Danan learning to become
more powerful than Willow as a sorcerer.
246
00:13:23,385 --> 00:13:27,348
Uh, so the fact that her wands
kept disappearing from set
247
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:30,392
{\an8}was unsubtle and problematic.
248
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:32,603
{\an8}I think Warwick's been
snappin' Ellie's wands.
249
00:13:32,603 --> 00:13:34,313
In fact, I know he has.
250
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:36,565
We've got security cameras.
251
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:38,400
Wait for it.
252
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:40,611
Okay.
253
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:42,530
Look, look, look. Okay, look!
254
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:43,781
There's the snatch.
255
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:46,408
There's the snap. See?
256
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:48,994
Do you know how many wands
we've gone through?
257
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,579
Must be like, 37.
258
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:52,915
What the ?
259
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:55,376
- Right. Okay.
- Then we get to the jump.
260
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:57,711
The horse is blind,
he doesn't know where he's going.
261
00:13:57,711 --> 00:14:00,339
- He doesn't know where he's going.
- And here we go, three, two, one.
262
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:02,007
Hsu-gala!
263
00:14:02,007 --> 00:14:04,134
Thank you so much.
You did a great job today.
264
00:14:04,134 --> 00:14:05,219
Thank you very much.
265
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:07,596
Hi, are you all right?
266
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:11,058
{\an8}Yeah, definitely.
267
00:14:11,058 --> 00:14:12,393
{\an8}Hi, how do you do?
268
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,979
We're gonna have a body land,
269
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:16,939
- boom, on the floor!
- Bang!
270
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:20,192
CC and his team
did a fantastic job,
271
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:22,945
you know, all of the actors
were doing all of their own work
272
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:25,239
in there which is sensational.
273
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:28,784
We put the cast through
an awful lot of, um,
274
00:14:28,784 --> 00:14:30,911
{\an8}physical rigor on this shoot.
275
00:14:30,911 --> 00:14:32,538
Oh, .
276
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:34,248
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. All good.
277
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:36,208
- These actors, I gotta say.
- They're so great.
278
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,085
- I mean, it's been incredible
- And so game.
279
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:40,254
to watch them grow.
280
00:14:40,254 --> 00:14:41,964
Seeing them fight so well.
281
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:43,841
Yeah, we have a great young cast.
282
00:14:43,966 --> 00:14:48,971
{\an8}Ellen, Mario, Dennis...
283
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:55,185
And there's Tommy. Arianna. And Robin.
284
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:57,646
And they're all relatively,
uh, good in the show.
285
00:14:58,689 --> 00:15:00,816
The big fellow
is a bit of a klutz, though.
286
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:03,736
CHADHA-PATEL: We have
an amazing stunt team, obviously.
287
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,280
Luke, my stunt double,
he's an incredible sword fighter,
288
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,032
and he teaches me how to sword fight.
289
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:10,284
The beauty of it is that
he'll teach me these moves
290
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:11,994
that are incredible
but when I do them,
291
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:14,872
I make 'em look bad
'cause I'm, I'm like a grasshopper.
292
00:15:14,872 --> 00:15:17,666
From my side of it,
we've got horses in there,
293
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:22,296
we've got trolls, we've got falls,
we've got fights everywhere.
294
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:25,090
There's sword fights everywhere.
And I'm havin' a great time.
295
00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:28,344
Amazing!
296
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:32,264
CC and the team, I mean,
these guys are the best in the biz.
297
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:34,516
And they're doing a great job.
298
00:15:34,516 --> 00:15:37,144
They, essentially,
design the fights in a way
299
00:15:37,144 --> 00:15:39,897
where it's everything
that we're capable of.
300
00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:43,275
They don't really put anything
in that us as actors can't do.
301
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:46,445
So we're able to really do it
and get into it 'cause they're incredible.
302
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:49,365
I can't speak highly enough about them.
So, we're really just lucky.
303
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:50,991
CHADHA-PATEL: Dempsey Bryk as Airk.
304
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:54,411
"Bryk" by name, "brick" by nature.
He's been my rock.
305
00:15:54,995 --> 00:15:57,998
He and I have been gym partners.
306
00:15:57,998 --> 00:15:59,583
We've all had to train.
307
00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:01,460
We did a, a month of boot camp.
308
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:07,591
{\an8}I'm very grateful for the month-long
boot camp that we got to do
309
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:09,635
{\an8}because I would've... Oh.
310
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:13,222
{\an8}It would've been tragic
if I wasn't training.
311
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:15,099
But it was really physically demanding.
312
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:17,768
Probably the most physically
demanding thing I've ever done.
313
00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:18,852
But so paying off.
314
00:16:18,852 --> 00:16:21,021
Like, I can't believe
I know how to sword fight now.
315
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:22,856
It is the coolest thing.
316
00:16:22,856 --> 00:16:25,109
{\an8}Joanne, who plays Sorsha,
317
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:28,570
loved coming out
and playing in the Gales fight.
318
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:33,742
And she absolutely
has to front it out with the Doom.
319
00:16:39,915 --> 00:16:43,460
With these magical whips,
whipping back and forth at her.
320
00:16:46,547 --> 00:16:49,842
{\an8}Sorsha has the weight of the world
on her shoulders
321
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:52,761
because she's starting
to see things and hear things.
322
00:16:52,761 --> 00:16:56,223
- And then, the Death Dogs appear...
323
00:16:56,223 --> 00:17:00,310
and she knows that if the Death Dogs
are around then it's all gonna kick off.
324
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:01,812
Death Dogs.
325
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:05,858
And I have to get my sword out
that I have put away.
326
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:07,901
It's really fun doing a fight again.
327
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:11,822
I haven't had a fight for ages.
It's really fun.
328
00:17:12,781 --> 00:17:14,366
I can assure you,
whatever's out there,
329
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:17,161
my knights are, are more than capable...
330
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:18,620
You were a bit early there, Martin.
331
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:20,998
- Yep. I'm sorry about that.
- Let's just reset Martin.
332
00:17:20,998 --> 00:17:22,916
- You can do it separately.
333
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:24,376
It was so fun.
334
00:17:28,964 --> 00:17:30,758
Now, people watching this may think
335
00:17:30,758 --> 00:17:32,843
that this was all shot
against a green screen.
336
00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:35,095
In fact, we are actually
out here on the beach,
337
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:37,681
in the elements, shooting this for real.
338
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,975
{\an8}We really wanted to create our own world.
339
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:41,852
It needs to be fantastical
340
00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:45,397
and have that kinda slightly
other-worldly feel to it.
341
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:47,483
{\an8}Welcome to the Bone Reaver encampment.
342
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:50,694
{\an8}We're in the Forest of Dean.
Very special place.
343
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:53,197
{\an8}It's basically an area
that was a woodland once
344
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:55,949
{\an8}and it's collapsed,
it's mines underneath and, a cave system.
345
00:17:55,949 --> 00:17:57,659
And it's all collapsed.
346
00:17:57,659 --> 00:18:01,163
A lot of it is not us, it's all natural,
but we've put in the doors.
347
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:02,247
All the timber work.
348
00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:06,376
If you look carefully, there's a load
of skulls and just hidden around.
349
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:09,379
So, as we're goin' around,
you can just see all the details.
350
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:14,343
We tried to stay clear
of using real Medieval architecture.
351
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:16,386
We didn't use any real castles.
352
00:18:16,386 --> 00:18:21,225
We do have one or two ruins,
uh, one of them being Neath Abbey
353
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:25,771
which, uh, the heroes run through
in the beginning of episode five.
354
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:30,025
We're not in Europe
and we're not even in the Medieval times.
355
00:18:30,025 --> 00:18:31,652
We are in a fantasy world.
356
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:36,907
So the Willow production being based
entirely in Wales has been great for us.
357
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,827
There's something mythic
about the Welsh countryside
358
00:18:39,827 --> 00:18:42,204
that isn't the same as anywhere else.
359
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:44,456
You know,
we're making a road movie, obviously.
360
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:46,750
So, we need to find
a lot of places that feel,
361
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:51,255
kind of, distinctly different
and can progress in a distinct way.
362
00:18:51,255 --> 00:18:54,174
{\an8}I think the biggest benefit
is the diversity of locations.
363
00:18:54,174 --> 00:18:59,471
And having wide-open space,
so close to the studio.
364
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:01,431
Within one hour of Cardiff,
365
00:19:01,431 --> 00:19:04,893
you can shoot on beaches, in forests,
366
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:09,523
by lakes, up valleys, in mountains.
367
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:14,027
It's been an awesome experience
to get the camera,
368
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:18,073
the crew, the cast
into the most amazing places.
369
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:22,035
I've got many fond memories
of filming in Wales on the first film.
370
00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:25,122
So I think it was great that we went back
to Wales for the series.
371
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:27,291
Basically, we had to go back there again.
372
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:32,671
Willow...
373
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:35,841
Let's ride.
374
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:43,307
You know, after the first Willow came out,
I was on fire.
375
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,893
The first movie
went to his head a little bit.
376
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:48,020
I mean, to be totally honest,
377
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:53,192
I think he perceives it
as more successful than it actually was.
378
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:56,695
I had big ideas.
Big ideas, I'm tellin' ya.
379
00:19:56,695 --> 00:20:01,116
He pitched me maybe,
20 ideas for Willow sequels.
380
00:20:01,116 --> 00:20:03,452
None of them really made any sense.
381
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:04,828
I invented the colon.
382
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:09,458
Yeah, the colon.
383
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:12,920
Basically allows you to make
the same movie over and over again.
384
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,088
You take the title,
put a colon after it,
385
00:20:15,088 --> 00:20:16,506
give it another title.
386
00:20:16,506 --> 00:20:17,799
I wrote loads of them.
387
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:20,844
{\an8}Willow, colon, Bavmorda's Revenge.
388
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,972
{\an8}Willow, colon, Lost in New York.
389
00:20:23,972 --> 00:20:27,392
{\an8}Willow, colon, Spring Break,
colon, Miami Beach.
390
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:28,977
{\an8}That's a double colon, that one.
391
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,813
{\an8}Willow, colon, Willow's Colon.
392
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:35,525
{\an8}which was a public service film
about gastrointestinal health.
393
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:37,527
Very important.
394
00:20:37,527 --> 00:20:41,365
In his mind, he thought he was creating
the world's first mega franchise.
395
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:42,741
That wasn't a thing.
396
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:45,786
There was a lot of opportunity
for me in those days.
397
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:48,830
I was getting offered some exciting roles
398
00:20:48,830 --> 00:20:51,166
up against some of the biggest actors
in Hollywood.
399
00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:55,087
And that's, uh, that's when I met him.
400
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:58,548
The weasel.
401
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,593
What can I say,
I'm just thrilled to be a part of it.
402
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:04,930
The coup
and the ultimate score for our show
403
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:07,766
was getting Christian Slater to come in
and play Allagash.
404
00:21:08,725 --> 00:21:10,769
And the cast was excited.
405
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:12,729
Disney was excited.
406
00:21:13,397 --> 00:21:15,482
Warwick was less excited.
407
00:21:15,482 --> 00:21:20,612
It turned out,
they had a long and complicated history.
408
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:24,574
The Warwick Davis-Christian Slater rivalry.
409
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:28,370
That... That was the stuff
of Hollywood legend.
410
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:30,664
He stole my idea.
411
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:31,999
We were mates.
412
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:33,667
I took him out to lunch,
413
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:37,254
told him about this passion project
I'd been working on between Willows.
414
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:39,965
It was about this sexy DJ
in Brixton, London,
415
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:42,801
called Would You Mind
Turning Up The Music, Please?
416
00:21:42,801 --> 00:21:46,221
And six months later,
saw a movie poster for a film,
417
00:21:46,221 --> 00:21:49,766
rather rudely entitled,
Pump Up The Volume.
418
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:52,144
He basically accused me of plagiarism.
419
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,479
In his version of events I, what,
420
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:57,649
uh, stole his idea,
hired a writer and director,
421
00:21:57,649 --> 00:22:00,861
made the movie and released it in theaters
in like six months?
422
00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:02,654
I mean, how would that even work?
423
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:06,491
But, uh, man, he was pissed.
He, uh, he came at me, hard.
424
00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:08,118
What? That's what he said?
425
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:10,287
I came at him hard? Can you imagine that?
426
00:22:10,287 --> 00:22:11,705
I'm British.
427
00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:14,333
I don't do things like that.
I'm a gentleman.
428
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:31,516
Yeah, he threatened to sue me
in the most English way possible.
429
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:36,229
And sadly, we never spoke again after that
until this.
430
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:40,317
The Disney team
have been looking at the dailies
431
00:22:40,317 --> 00:22:42,778
and they're so excited about Christian
432
00:22:42,778 --> 00:22:46,198
and what season two
could be like if you guys are like,
433
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:49,910
you know, like, buddies and,
like, on an adventure.
434
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:52,496
- You seem like you're shaking your head.
- Whoa. Wait a minute.
435
00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:55,290
If they put Christian Slater
on Disney Plus,
436
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:57,834
they're gonna have to change the name
to Disney Minus.
437
00:22:58,627 --> 00:23:00,045
Hey, guys. Yeah.
438
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:01,755
- Good to see you.
439
00:23:01,755 --> 00:23:03,131
- It's good to have you here.
- Yeah.
440
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:05,300
Thanks, man.
No, it's great to be here.
441
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:08,720
They finally arrive
at the silent, burnt-out ruins.
442
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,724
{\an8}The beauty of the series
is that it really walks this fine line
443
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:16,853
{\an8}between being funny as it should be
444
00:23:16,853 --> 00:23:19,856
and this kind of dramatic fantasy
445
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:23,235
{\an8}that we've kind of grown accustomed to
with Game of Thrones and such,
446
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:28,115
while also keepin' it contemporary
in a way that's fresh and new.
447
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:31,076
And it really all just kind of stems
from the mind of Jon Kasdan
448
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:32,619
who is our show runner and writer.
449
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:35,872
Jon Kasdan is a very special man.
450
00:23:35,872 --> 00:23:40,210
I think Jon is one of the most creative
individuals I've ever met.
451
00:23:40,877 --> 00:23:42,629
The way he sees this world as something
452
00:23:42,629 --> 00:23:45,966
that is just as valuable now
as when it was created.
453
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:49,803
You know, Jon has been wonderful
in allowing us to come in,
454
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:54,099
you know, and to have some fun with it
and be loose with it,
455
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:57,436
and I think that is the right energy
for this type of story.
456
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:58,520
I'm free...
457
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,980
- This guy's insane.
458
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:03,316
This must be
like a dream come true to Jon.
459
00:24:03,316 --> 00:24:08,655
To have eight hours to explore
your childhood adventures
460
00:24:08,655 --> 00:24:11,533
with this massive great team
and this wonderful cast.
461
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:13,285
Willow!
462
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:15,203
{\an8}I said yes and came aboard
463
00:24:15,203 --> 00:24:18,415
{\an8}'cause I didn't wanna shatter
his childhood dreams
464
00:24:18,415 --> 00:24:20,625
which clearly this represents.
465
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:22,919
This is not nostalgia.
466
00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:27,257
It's using the fundamentals
of this world, these characters
467
00:24:27,257 --> 00:24:31,052
but it's very forward thinking
in terms of its sensibilities,
468
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:34,931
uh, and also,
the adventure that it creates.
469
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:38,018
I feel like there's something
for everyone in this series.
470
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:43,273
There are just so many storylines
and characters all weaved together.
471
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:45,442
There's definitely been days
472
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:48,612
where I am laughing
and crying and screaming all in one day
473
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:53,783
and I mean,
it's crazy for my emotional health
474
00:24:53,783 --> 00:24:56,161
but it,
you know, gets it all out.
475
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:59,164
I mean, the beauty of fantasy
and sci-fi is that it's not Earth
476
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:02,000
so you can put anyone
of any diverse background
477
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,711
in what essentially is a world
full of dragons and giants.
478
00:25:05,295 --> 00:25:11,009
Um, if you can have giants and trolls,
why can't you have brown people?
479
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:14,804
We talk about the impact that these little
moments are gonna have on children
480
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:18,058
and being able to see themselves
and think, "Yeah, I wanna be that."
481
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:21,269
I mean, I said this to Jon Kasdan
when I first had my meeting,
482
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:22,521
my first meeting with him.
483
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,731
You know, Indiana Jones, Han Solo,
484
00:25:24,731 --> 00:25:26,650
characters that every kid wanted to be,
485
00:25:26,650 --> 00:25:30,654
but as an Asian man,
I never saw myself reflected in that way.
486
00:25:30,654 --> 00:25:34,199
The comedic rogue with a heart of gold
character played by an Asian person
487
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:35,825
so for me it's a huge honor
488
00:25:35,825 --> 00:25:38,161
and I'm very excited
and hope to bring it to life,
489
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:39,746
and not ruin it and get fired.
490
00:25:40,747 --> 00:25:41,915
Which is a possibility.
491
00:25:42,582 --> 00:25:44,834
And in about ten seconds,
I'm gonna kiss you.
492
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,294
So, if you don't want that...
493
00:25:46,294 --> 00:25:50,131
Yes, I would...
I mean, I would be very into that.
494
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:55,845
So absolutely excited to be able
to represent the LGBTQ plus community
495
00:25:55,845 --> 00:25:59,307
on screen especially something
as wide scale as Disney.
496
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:01,601
I think this is huge. That is...
497
00:26:03,061 --> 00:26:06,523
Ah! That makes me so excited.
That makes me so happy.
498
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:10,485
I honestly never thought I'd be playing
a queer character in a Disney show.
499
00:26:10,485 --> 00:26:16,449
I think it's so important for young people
to see queer characters on shows.
500
00:26:16,449 --> 00:26:17,701
Like, to see it on Disney, too.
501
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:20,412
It's such a big platform
and it's gonna reach so many people
502
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:24,249
and if I had that when I was younger
I think I'd feel a lot less scared
503
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:27,961
and a lot less intimidated by the thoughts
and feelings I was having.
504
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:30,880
And being a queer woman, and playing
a queer character on a Disney show
505
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,883
is honestly the most insane,
506
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:37,137
it's the most insane thing.
I never thought I'd be able to do that.
507
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:41,224
We're Thraxus
and you're watching the Disney Plus.
508
00:26:49,482 --> 00:26:50,525
That was good.
509
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:55,405
CHADHA-PATEL: Okay, Jamie?
510
00:26:55,405 --> 00:26:56,948
That's
the last shot on Willow.
511
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:58,325
Well done, everybody!
512
00:27:02,037 --> 00:27:04,623
It has been a joyous experience
513
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:07,876
and I've loved working
with such talented people.
514
00:27:07,876 --> 00:27:12,881
To become a part of something
that is so beloved by so many people
515
00:27:12,881 --> 00:27:16,301
and to be able to just extend
that world even further
516
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:18,345
into something
that even more people can love,
517
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:20,096
I think is a really cool thing.
518
00:27:20,096 --> 00:27:23,558
{\an8}There's lots of comedic moments,
there's lots of really tender moments
519
00:27:23,558 --> 00:27:25,685
{\an8}and there's a real journey to go on.
520
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:28,480
{\an8}It's just not typical,
it's not what you would expect,
521
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,441
{\an8}and I think that
that is something that is so exciting.
522
00:27:31,441 --> 00:27:32,901
{\an8}You guys are the best! See you.
523
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,111
{\an8}See you next year!
524
00:27:35,111 --> 00:27:38,448
It's turned into like one
of the greatest experiences of my career
525
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:41,284
so I, I'm very happy to have said yes.
526
00:27:41,284 --> 00:27:43,703
I don't wanna leave for real.
527
00:27:43,703 --> 00:27:45,163
- I know.
- It's not even, like,
528
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:48,458
I know this is an interview
but I'm actually so sad.
529
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:53,046
{\an8}The overriding thing I'll take away
is a set that is full of warmth,
530
00:27:53,046 --> 00:27:56,841
fun, great characters, lovely people.
531
00:27:56,841 --> 00:28:01,721
And a real energy to try
and do something a little bit different.
532
00:28:03,139 --> 00:28:07,143
The truth is,
people thought Warwick was crazy.
533
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:09,979
But the reality
is he was just ahead of his time.
534
00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:14,734
I mean, yes, he can be difficult,
he can be challenging.
535
00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:17,529
And he's got a big ego but you know what?
536
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:20,281
{\an8}He's got an even bigger heart
537
00:28:20,281 --> 00:28:23,827
{\an8}and he brings out the very best in people
538
00:28:23,827 --> 00:28:26,830
and they bring out the best in him.
539
00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,665
And that's what Willow is all about.
540
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:30,875
It's about heart,
and it's about friendship,
541
00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:32,460
it's about coming together.
542
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:35,672
And magic, it's also about magic.
543
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:37,966
Ellie, this is from Warwick.
544
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:39,259
From Warwick? For me?
545
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:42,178
Are you kidding? Look at the box.
546
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:45,473
Oh.
547
00:28:45,473 --> 00:28:46,975
A new wand.
548
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,228
Aw.
549
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:52,147
Aw, he shouldn't have.
550
00:28:52,147 --> 00:28:56,609
{\an8}For me, this has been a dream that I've
had for, probably, about 30 years.
551
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:58,111
Every fan of the movie said,
552
00:28:58,111 --> 00:29:00,572
"When will you make another Willow?
We want a sequel."
553
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:03,491
And Jon here has realized that dream
for many millions of people
554
00:29:03,491 --> 00:29:05,160
around the world who loved the movie.
555
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,038
He always tells us to take in every moment
and appreciate all of the little things
556
00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:11,708
which I think
is why he does all these little things.
557
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:13,418
Like pick us up in the mornin'.
558
00:29:13,418 --> 00:29:16,337
He always reminds us
that everything can go by in a flash.
559
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:20,175
So to appreciate and love every moment
of every day with each other.
560
00:29:21,050 --> 00:29:23,678
I mean, Warwick might have been
a bit hard on me
561
00:29:23,678 --> 00:29:27,348
but at the end of the day I think
it's because he believed in me.
562
00:29:28,558 --> 00:29:31,227
And now I'm very grateful for that.
563
00:29:33,062 --> 00:29:36,566
Look, I may be Warwick Davis,
titular character of Willow,
564
00:29:36,566 --> 00:29:38,610
massive international movie star
565
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:43,531
with over $14.5 billion
in box office revenue and counting.
566
00:29:43,531 --> 00:29:47,952
King of the Ewoks, polo buddy
to Prince William, yada, yada, yada.
567
00:29:47,952 --> 00:29:50,789
But the truth is
none of that really matters.
568
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,373
What matters is this.
569
00:29:53,374 --> 00:29:57,462
What we've created here together
is just so much bigger than me.
570
00:29:58,546 --> 00:30:00,590
Maybe Willow isn't just one man.
571
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:04,052
Maybe there's a little Willow
in all of us.
572
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:11,476
I am Willow.
573
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:13,144
I am Willow?
574
00:30:13,144 --> 00:30:15,313
I am Willow.
575
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:16,523
I'm Willow.
576
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:17,941
I am Willow.
577
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:20,568
This has been
the greatest adventure of my life.
578
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,032
But, uh, just to be clear,
contractually speaking,
579
00:30:26,032 --> 00:30:27,826
there is only one Willow.
580
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:28,993
And that's me.
581
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,211
Have you seen
when he sits on a chair?
582
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:41,381
Like, we've tried to talk about it
583
00:30:41,381 --> 00:30:43,383
- and he doesn't want to.
- He didn't want to.
584
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:46,094
You have a reputation as a bit of a klutz.
585
00:30:46,094 --> 00:30:48,680
No. No, I'm pretty coordinated.
586
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,224
I've been doing lot of stunt training
for this mother...
587
00:30:51,224 --> 00:30:52,934
Very complex fight sequences so...
588
00:30:53,977 --> 00:30:55,728
There's a lot of broken chairs on set.
589
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:58,648
- There's a giant easter egg and if you...
- Oh!
590
00:30:58,648 --> 00:31:00,859
Oh, my... It's okay, he has a problem.
591
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,819
Don't draw attention to it.
592
00:31:02,819 --> 00:31:03,987
It's a huge problem.
593
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:07,490
He's gonna hurt himself and more than
anything he's gonna hurt someone else.
594
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:09,075
Have you seen Warwick?
595
00:31:09,075 --> 00:31:11,661
CHADHA-PATEL: What?
596
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:13,413
I don't have a problem sitting down.
597
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:14,956
You guys are making this up.
Making me...
598
00:31:14,956 --> 00:31:16,541
- I feel like you're gaslighting me.
- Okay.
