>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY. WE ARE BACK WITH THE STAR OF
"TETRIS," TARON EGERTON. YOU ARE STARTING A NEW FILM
CALLED "TETRIS." OKAY.
>> Taron: IT'S MORE EXCITING THAN IT SOUNDS.
>> Stephen: THE THING IS, I'M ACTUALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT
BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A GROUNDBREAKING VIDEO GAME HAD
WHAT IS THE ACTUAL STORY THAT YOU'RE TELLING?
>> Taron: YEAH, IT'S NOT A MOVIE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, GEOMETRIC
SHAPES OR WHATEVER. IT'S THE STORY BEHIND THE
VIDEO GAME KIND OF STRANGER THAN FICTION.
I PLAY A GUY CALLED HENK ROGERS WHO HAD A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE
GAME, HE'S A GAME PUBLISHER. >> Stephen: IS THAT WHAT WE
WERE SEEING? >> Taron: THAT'S ALREADY IN
RUSSIA. THE RIGHTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE SO
I TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO GO TO THE LOCATION OF THE INVENTION OF
THE GAME WHICH WAS SOVIET RUSSIA RIGHT AT THE END OF THE
SOVIET UNION. 1989.
THERE HE DANGEROUS, VERY HIGH-RISK.
WASN'T ALLOWED TO BE THERE. GOT A TOURIST VISA BUT HE WASN'T
THE ONLY ONE INTERESTED. THE KGB GOT INVOLVED IN ALL
TURNED INTO A RACE TO WIN THE RIGHTS.
>> Stephen: THE KGB GOT INVOLVED IN US BEING UP TO
PLAY -- >> Taron: THE STATE OWNED THE
RIGHTS AS PER THE LOT THE TIMES OF THE GOVERNMENT WERE VERY
INTERESTED. >> Stephen: IS THAT WHAT
GLASNOST WAS ABOUT, ALLOWING US TO PLAY TETRIS IN THE WEST?
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY. DID YOU PLAY THE GAME?
>> Taron: A BIT. YEAH.
A BIT. IT'S TERRIBLE.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY NO. YOU CAN SAY NO.
>> Taron: I WAS IN SxSW ON DOING INTERVIEWS FOR THE MOVIE.
I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVIE.
OCCASIONALLY I GET ASKED ABOUT THE GAME AND I SAY YEAH, YOU
KNOW, YEAH. I FIND IT QUITE HARD TO GET
PASSIONATE ABOUT, YOU KNOW. IT'S NOT LIKE THAT DISCOGRAPHY
OF RADIOHEAD, IS IT? IT'S FUN.
BUT -- IT'S FUN. IT'S NEAT.
THE MOVIE IS MUCH MORE INTERESTING.
>> Stephen: WHO HERE HAS PLAY TETRIS?
>> [CHEERING] >> Taron: LOOK AT THAT.
>> Stephen: THE AUDIENCE. >> Taron: YOU SHOULD BE
PROMOTING THE MOVIE. THE MOVIE IS GOOD.
>> Stephen: WE HEARD ABOUT THE IDEA OF A TETRIS MOVIE AND THIS
IS TRUE, ALMOST SEVEN YEARS AGO ON THE SHOW IN 2016.
WE REALLY DID. THERE WAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT
TOMORROW IS GOING TO MAKE A TETRIS MOVIE AND SO IN THE
MONOLOGUE WE TRIED TO PROVIDE OUR OWN LIVES SNEAK PEEK ABOUT
WHAT THE MOVIE WOULD BE LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW IT TO YOU TO
SEE HOW CLOSE YOU THINK WE GOT. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR MOVIE.
LET ME KNOW HOW CLOSE WE GOT. WE HERE AT "THE LATE SHOW" HAVE
SECURED AN EXCLUSIVE LIFE CLIP -- LIVE CLIP FROM THE UPCOMING
"TETRIS" MOVIE. >> I DON'T CARE WHAT OUR
FAMILIES SAY, WE, WE BELONG TOGETHER.
>> MAKE LOVE TO ME NOW. [ELECTRONIC MUSIC]
OH, GOD, OH. OKAY, I'M GOING TO GO LIKE THIS.
OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.
OH, YEAH. OKAY.
>> I'M GOING DOWN. GO LEFT.
YES, YES. OH, YES, THAT'S GOOD!
>> Stephen: ARE WE CLOSE AT ALL?
>> Taron: I AM JUST AN& INNOCENT BOY FROM TE HILLS OF
WALES. YOU CAN'T TO BE SHOWING ME STUFF
LIKE THAT. YOU CAN'T BE SHOWING THAT FILTH.
