The press junket: I logged on and placed the requested background up on my zoom, but for some strange reason, mine showed mirror image. I was asked to log on a half hour early just to deal with such issues, but their IT couldn't figure it out, so we just left mine mirror imaged as 'the tenet world' as they put it (I was going for the Mirror Universe, but I didn't press it). Not everyone managed the backgrounds. Some said their tech was too old (I can relate). Others just chose not to do so.
The waiting room had 20 reporters. We hung and chatted. One moderator threw out Mortal Kombat trivia questions. I got one of them, sort of, but over the chatter, no one heard me. I had watched a YouTube vid on MK a few days ago, so that's why I knew the answer. Three dudes dominated because they knew the game. I did not. Once again, out-nerded by the pros.
A few reporters had mixed the provided drinks from the promo box. I did not. One reporter said she got to do a set visit (in Adelaide Oz).
We were broken down into round tables. Ours had 8 reporters. Then we waited for another half hour or so until the talent circled around.
We each had the chance to ask 1 question. I'm grateful that my group was on it because there was a decent spread of good questions. Both the director and producer were well spoken and we all got a lot out of their 20 mins interview.
The whole affair went about an hour forty, much longer than I thought it would.
They are supposed to send the audial over soon, and I'll get that transcribed ASAP, then hopefully get an article up ASAP. Tomorrow is another fast ball.
I'm sad that I wasn't able to see the first 20 mins. It sounds like it was great.
I'm excited for this film. Not sure how I will see it without HBO Max, unless they provide a full screener. We shall see. That may happen.
