Ah, yeah, thanks for speaking with me today.
I wanted to ask you, there are so many films
about time travel, but what makes
The Adam Project
Well, you know, time travel in
is obviously, there's a, there's a writer
on rules there, we sort of, you know, did it,
I think, in a pretty fresh, unique way,
but it's, it's, that's a Trojan horse to kind of smuggle
in a story that is really is a love letter to parents.
Um, you know, I love movies that do that
and it speaks to kids, it speaks to parents,
and speaks to fathers and mothers, you know,
and in a way that I've never really seen before.

Would you rather time travel back in time
and talk to your younger self or travel to the future
and chat with an older Ryan?
[chime]
Oh, I'll take the older Ryan.
I wouldn't mind that.
I wouldn't mind getting a little peek,
but I shouldn't see that, but I wouldn't mind
getting behind that curtain.
20 minutes early to a movie premiere
or 20 minutes late to a movie premiere?
I had a very complicated relationship
with my father growing up, but one thing that he left me
that I have, that has served me better than almost anything
on Earth is never, ever, ever be late.
Usually, if I'm a few minutes early,
I feel like I'm already late.
That's one thing, 20 minutes early, 100 percent.

Would you rather have a pause or rewind button in your life?
And if so, which moment would you rewind or pause to?
Oh my God. Pause, for sure.
Um, because like, rewind, what's that going to do?
Every like, every crappy thing that I, you know, experienced,
every crappy thing I ever did or felt horrible about,
or blindspot or anything else or all those mistakes and failures
that kind of-- you, grow you, as a person,
you learn from them, so, like,
if I eliminated my mistakes, I would, I would probably
be a moron and so I would, you know, I would probably
take a pause button because like, I think we could
all use a deep breath and there are moments that I have.
I have three little girls and like,
there are moments in time that, you know,
I know they're going to go by like this.
So sometimes I just want to stop the damn train
and just have a minute to live in this, this moment.
