Action!
It's a nervous time—
- Yeah. - Right at the beginning
because it's very specific,
but that's down to Rian, I mean, Rian set the tone.
You know when it's good 'cause you hear that giggle.
(Laughter)
When you get that giggle,
- you're like, “We nailed it, let’s move on.” - Right.
“Why did we have to loop all our best takes?”
- He he he he. - Because Rian's laughing all the time.
That’s the giggle!
Sorry.
Hi, I'm Rian Johnson.
I'm the director— Jesus...
You know what?
- No, no, do— - Rian.
- Continue, Rian. - Right off the bat.
Hi, I'm Rian Johnson.
- There you go. - Oh!
I'm the director of Glass Onion,
and by the time we leave this room,
one of these people will be dead.
Action!
We had so much fun outside of filming,
like, we were so familiar with each other,
we were so comfortable with each other.
We laughed, like, we genuinely liked each other.
Everything was memorable
because of the people I made the memories with.
- Aw, good. - Okay.
- Well, that's it. - All right.
And scene!
- Well, see ya, bye! - I can't top that.
It ain't gonna get better than that.
- Yeah, yeah. - There it is.
- No, no, no. - I guarantee you.
- No. - That's it.
I'd just like to point out that it was
sort of in the middle of COVID, so we were sort of locked
in a hotel together, so we didn't have much choice.
Yes.
So, it was either sort of get on with each other,
- and get drunk. - True, true, true.
I wanna toast to the disruptors, my OGs!
Disruptors, breaking it, and making it!
- Drinking is a very— - Yeah, it was drinking, yeah.
Yeah, it started at your house,
all of us getting together, having the most fun night.
Right, that's right, yes, yeah.
And you all came, which was such a relief.
- If nobody had showed up, just regrets. - And I was so nervous.
I feel like if you take a seriously well-written script,
and give it to a cast of deeply unserious people,
- it's a good combination. - It’s a good combination.
Yeah, yeah.
- This is a smokeless garden,
please keep our water clean.
Please keep our water clean.
What I loved so much, is like,
there's no like trailers, really,
to go back to when the day started.
So, there was these like rooms
that we all hung out together in.
And then when it was time to go on set,
a lot of times, you would see the person
who the camera was facing, and then behind the camera,
there would be this entire mass of humans
- crowded together! - Judging!
Trying to be as close to the camera as possible.
- And we would do the reaction shots. - Yeah.
You know, we'd all be standing there watching
everybody's turn, and you'd hear something,
and you'd go, “Ah!”
Ah! Oh my God, oh my God!
And then, and then,
and then we'd all look at you, and like, “Was that crazy?”
“Yeah, it was good, it was good.”
Yeah, there's a lot of like, Leslie's turn.
You're like, “Oh!,” and you're like...
And then we would all be like this for each other.
Usually they'd do that,
and then you'd hear the guy saying,
- “Take 25% off that.” - Yeah, that's it.
Too much? Too much?
Jazz was for forboden.
There was no forbidding.
- There was one thing— - That was the best.
Lemme tell you something.
We worked with a prince of a man, lemme say,
in Daniel Craig.
- You're not in the bath again, are you?
No?
- A prince of a man. - But...
Except...
- I can feel his, “but” coming. - Except the one day,
Janelle was DJing,
- and Janelle had jazz on. - Yes.
- Trying to set the scene, all relaxed - Yeah!
- And Daniel— - Yeah.
So yeah, Daniel wasn't into the jazz,
but he was, besides Janelle, they were the two best DJs.
“Is that jazz?”
- When you would run the— - “I can’t stand jazz.”
The music in the common space, it was all,
it was like lots of like best of the '80s and '90s.
So fun.
Do you remember when we made Leslie
watch Hamilton with us?
Yeah!
He sang it quietly.
He'd finally gotten the songs
- out of his head. - That's right!
What is that?
It's the Hourly Dong.
That was a good one.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yes, yes.
The vibe from backstage to, like, into the set felt very,
you know what I mean?
It just felt like a flow,
- like no one had like, their corners. - Yeah.
- Exactly. - Yeah.
Like, it just felt like different in that way.
We were all living in Porto Heli,
but we shot on Spetses, but you have like Hydra,
and you have all like Nafplio, kind of a little bit.
Greece felt like one movie, and we moved to Serbia,
and that felt like another movie.
You know, we were doing exteriors,
and Greece is so beautiful,
and then we were doing interiors on a stage in Serbia,
and losing our minds together on the stages in Serbia
might also be one of my favorites moments.
It was just the kind of a slow downward spiral.
- I mean— - You almost adopted a dog.
- Oh, I did almost do that. - Oh, you didn't—
- I sponsor her! - You left it?
I did, and she lives at a nice woman's house in Serbia now.
- Her name is Cheddar. - Oh.
- Is that what they told you? - Cheddar.
- Cheddar. - Cheddar!
- She's on the farm. - They call it the farm.
- The farm. - And Cheddar was—
- Cheddar. - “She went to the farm,
- apparently.” - Kate,
Kate is the best "Mafia" player,
- Yes, true. - By far.
She would always get killed as soon as possible—
- I know, everybody just— - Because otherwise
you would figure it out.
I don't remember anything.
I remember playing this game, thinking,
“I have no idea what's going on.”
And we had like choreographed dances happening.
- Yes. - Oh!
Some of us dressed up.
- Woo! - Wow.
- Woo!
Some of us were in full character.
- The mustache. - The pipe, the pipe.
- You showed up - The pipe.
- with a mustache and pipe, yes? - Yes, the cape.
Which you carried with you all the time.
Question though, because you actually got the perspective
of the cast from the beach.
Oh, Miles!
We were are all coming off of the boat,
and you actually got to see everybody in the cast.
That must have been an interesting, like, funny—
I definitely remember thinking that on day one,
the costume designer is going
to get the most laughs in the film.
- Yeah. - Your swimming costume is iconic.
I think your swimming costume is really one of the best.
- Is the best! - Oh, it is
really chic, I love it.
- We should give a shout out to Jenny Egan. - Ten out of ten, would wear again.
- Jenny Egan. - Jenny!
- MVP, MVP. - Our costume designer.
You look so cute.
Aw, thanks, Bird.
You really try.
Every single one of those costumes is just—
- Unbelievable. - Yeah.
I mean, Dave Bautista's budgie smugglers.
- Oh God. - Really Duke?
- Oh my God! - Really.
Where's Bautista?
We're missing such a big—
- We are. - He wouldn't fit
on the couch.
- Just like one butt cheek. - We wouldn't fit him on,
we had, someone had to go, and it was Dave.
Where's my spear gun?
I gotta pack, babe, get packed!
- Yeah. - He came to see my show,
and in the audience, it was just like, he's in two seats.
He has to be in two seats.
because he was just there,
trying to look incognito with a hat on.
- Oh my God! - And he was like that,
and the guy behind him was just like—
I just don't know how you did Shakespeare
with him so big in the audience.
Am I doing it, really?
- Yeah, go for it, action. - Oh, all right.
And now for some questions from the fans.
That was smooth!
- You sounded great. - Totally.
Looking at, sorry,
rest of the question,
How dare you?
- That's from Evan. - Wow, we didn't know that—
I mean, that's our bread and butter,
- Terrible people in beautiful locations. - In beautiful locations.
Do you know where you wanna go for the next one?
I don't yet, no, any suggestions?
- We're making another one? - You guys don't care,
- We're making another one? - you're not gonna be there.
- No, you aren't coming back. - No!
I heard Benoit Blanc with the Muppets,
that's what I heard.
- Oh, yeah. - Oh.
- That's a pretty good idea. - That's a really good idea.
Yeah, that's a really good idea.
- Oh, I definitely— - Yeah, no,
I wanna see the Muppet version of Kathryn so bad.
I wanna see you as a Muppet.
Hey, fine!
- Was there— - It was warm,
so, sweaters are kind of not really the—
I'm trying to think of anyone who wore a sweater—
You had a sweater on your shoulders,
tied around your neck?
I certainly did.
- Yes. - Oh.
- I think it's gonna be— - That's true,
probably me then.
What, I don't even understand what that means.
- Oh. - I don't think we have—
- Oh, no, we didn't have— - Oh, you're not on
- I think we had an email. - the group chat.
Oh, okay.
- You're not on the group chat. - There was a group chat?
Daniel's not invited in our group chat.
So, this might make it, no, there was no group chat.
This is the group chat, you're seeing it.
- Yeah, yeah, we emailed— - Yeah,
we talked to each other.
We have an email chat.
We went out, we spent time with each other.
Okay,
- That's from Hopper. - Oh.
- Rian? - Rian!
Literally, it's an onion made out of glass...
There you go, okay, moving on.
Yes.
That's from Wendell.
I don't know if there's enough champagne to fill the Nile,
I'm gonna be honest with you.
That would be a lot of champagne.
Somebody mentioned the captain though.
He was, the actual captain of the boat was, is in the movie.
He plays the captain of the boat.
- Yes. - Begrudgingly.
- Begrudgingly! - Yes, he was like,
“I don't do this.”
You know what, yeah there's people that would like, you know,
kill to be in a movie, especially
- this movie. - Yeah.
This guy—
Did not wanna be an actor.
- He did not. - No.
