♪♪♪ >> Stephen: HEY, WELCOME BACK.
WE ALL KNOW 2020 WAS A BAD YEAR FOR THE FILM INDUSTRY, DUE TO
BOTH COVID-19 AND THE RELEASE OF "DOLITTLE."
BUT THINGS ARE STARTING TO LOOK UP FOR HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE IT WAS
JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THERE'S A NEW MOVIE IN THE WORKS BASED ON
THE RUBIK'S CUBE.
IT'S SURE TO CAPTURE ALL THE FUN OF THE CLASSIC TOY... FROM
GETTING ONE AS A GIFT, TO REALIZING HOW HARD IT IS, TO
SHOVING IT IN THE BACK OF A DRAWER AND NEVER THINKING ABOUT
IT AGAIN.
AND IF A MOVIE WASN'T ENOUGH, IT TURNS THERE ARE ALSO PLANS TO
TURN THE RUBIK'S CUBE INTO A GAME SHOW.
A HINT FOR CONTESTANTS: JUST PEEL OFF THE STICKERS, REARRANGE
THEM, AND PRETEND YOU'VE WON.
NOW SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THESE PROJECTS ARE JUST TRYING TO
CAPITALIZE ON A RENEWED INTEREST IN CLASSIC GAMES SINCE CHESS GOT
A MAJOR POPULARITY BOOST THANKS TO THE HIT NETFLIX SERIES "THE
QUEEN'S GAMBIT."
BUT I THINK THIS RUBIK'S CUBE IDEA HAS LEGS.
THERE MUST BE MILLIONS OF DIE-HARD CUBE HEADS OUT THERE
JUST CLAMORING FOR MORE RUBIK-CENTRIC
CONTENT ON MULTIPLE PLATFORMS.
WHICH IS WHY I DEVELOPED MY OWN 14-PART PRESTIGE STREAMING
SERIES BASED ON THE RUBIK'S CUBE.
IT MIXES ELEMENTS OF "THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT" WITH A STRONG
DESIRE TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY ON THE POPULARITY OF "THE QUEEN'S
GAMBIT."
AND TONIGHT, I PROUDLY PRESENT AN EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEAK.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (TICKING CLOCK)
>> THE WORLD OF COMPETITIVE RUBIK'S CUBING IS A MAN'S WORLD.
USUALLY YOUNG MEN.
CHILDREN, REALLY.
>> NOT ANYMORE.
(MUSIC SWELLS) I WASN'T JUST HANDED MY SEAT AT
THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD RUBIKS CUBE OLYMPIAD.
I HAD TO OVERCOME SO MUCH: SEXISM.
A SPRAINED WRIST.
TEMPORARY COLOR-BLINDNESS.
>> YOU MAY BE THE GREATEST NATURAL TALENT I'VE EVER SEEN.
BUT MUST MASTER THE OPENING MOVE KNOWN ONLY TO THE MOST
DISTINGUISHED PLAYERS.
IT'S CALLED, "TURN THE LEFT BOTTOM MIDDLE, FORWARD TO THE
FRONT-FACING PART."
IT'S NOT LIKE CHESS.
WE DON'T GET TO HAVE COOL NAMES FOR THINGS.
>> IT MAY JUST BE A BLOCK COVERED IN LITTLE STICKERS
TO YOU, BUT TO ME IT'S THE ENTIRE WORLD!
OH, ALSO DRUGS.
I DO TONS OF DRUGS.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME!
>> TURN THE LEFT BOTTOM MIDDLE SIDEWAYS TOWARD THE FRONT FACING
PART.
>> STEPHEN: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ACTRESS PRIYANKA CHOPRA
JONAS.
STICK AROUND.
