- 0:00I was more impressed when she started
- 0:02speaking alien.
- 0:03>> Oh, yeah.
- 0:03>> Dude,
- 0:03>> [laughter]
- 0:04>> and I met that alien. She dropped some
- 0:05alien on you. Some
- 0:07>> Exactly.
- 0:07>> Yes. That's very good.
- 0:09>> Wow. Maybe he Do you understand that?
- 0:12>> I mean, he looks so
- 0:15>> It sounds like it's real. Do you
- 0:17understand when I
- 0:17>> Was that your lunch order?
- 0:19>> [laughter]
- 0:29>> Delighted to have both of you on Star
- 0:30Talk. Thank you.
- 0:32>> Thank you.
- 0:32>> Thank you, Coleman. My gosh.
- 0:34>> And just I had some fast questions. We
- 0:36have just limited time together. So,
- 0:39Emily, apparently, [clears throat]
- 0:41this is not your first alien rodeo.
- 0:43>> I know.
- 0:44>> What's up with that?
- 0:45>> I don't know. And what's funny is as a
- 0:47kid, I really didn't like anything to do
- 0:50with space. I didn't watch Star Wars.
- 0:53I didn't like the James Bond movie where
- 0:55he's in space. I know.
- 0:56>> of those is in space. Yes. Yes.
- 0:58>> I wanted to see James Bond rolling
- 1:00around in Turks and Caicos on the beach.
- 1:02I
- 1:02>> [laughter]
- 1:03>> did not want to see him in a silver
- 1:04onesie. I know.
- 1:06But but yes, I seem to be very attracted
- 1:08to alien movies.
- 1:10>> Wow, okay. So, that's that's almost on
- 1:12brand now for you.
- 1:14>> brand. I'm going to make it a thing.
- 1:15>> Yeah. And I'm just curious, in this one,
- 1:19you were kind of inhabited by the alien.
- 1:21How What's the way to describe that?
- 1:23>> say imbued. Imbued by these These kind
- 1:28of non-human super powers, but not in a
- 1:30sort of Marvel character sense, but
- 1:33she's ultimately imbued with a great
- 1:36capacity for empathy.
- 1:38>> Yes. And to
- 1:40either find or install empathy in
- 1:43others.
- 1:44>> Yes.
- 1:45>> make eye contact with.
- 1:47>> Yes.
- 1:47>> That's a superpower right there.
- 1:49>> I think if we could all do that in life,
- 1:51I think we would all be a lot happier
- 1:53and more peaceful.
- 1:54>> But there'd be the evil set of those
- 1:56people who would abuse that power, of
- 1:58course.
- 1:59>> That's true. She chooses not to. She's
- 2:01She's truly imbued with this with this
- 2:03power to kind of give people a sense of
- 2:05belonging, to make people feel seen,
- 2:07feel understood, even if they have
- 2:09behaved badly, had the worst day. I
- 2:11think she has this ability to see the
- 2:13shadow of everybody's lives and have
- 2:15enormous understanding for it.
- 2:17>> And if the movie had another title, it
- 2:19would be Emily Blunt's face.
- 2:22>> [laughter]
- 2:22>> Yes, because
- 2:24>> Is it just face?
- 2:25>> Well, every turn, there's your face
- 2:28reacting to a thing.
- 2:29>> Yeah.
- 2:30>> And the audience's emotions flow through
- 2:33your face. Not so much what you say, cuz
- 2:37that's an actor who speaks lines, but of
- 2:39course an actor is also emoting
- 2:41>> Mhm.
- 2:41>> through facial expression. We felt it
- 2:43and I just want to congratulate you
- 2:44>> Thank you.
- 2:44>> on that because we we followed you the
- 2:47whole way through.
- 2:48>> Thank you. Well, she's thrust into an
- 2:50incoherent situation and experience and
- 2:52so I think if she can be you
- 2:55as she tries to walk you through it and
- 2:57navigate through something so unknown.
- 2:59>> Yeah.
- 2:59>> And I think I think it's in a way the
- 3:01beauty of Steven's characters. He's he
- 3:03he likes outsiders. He likes people who
- 3:07um might be misunderstood or
- 3:08misunderstand themselves. He kind of
- 3:10likes to put these people through the
- 3:11ringer.
- 3:12>> And have us explore that that
- 3:14profile alongside you at the same time.
- 3:16>> they're very relatable. They're very
- 3:18idiosyncratic characters that he creates
- 3:21in this high concept [clears throat]
- 3:22world. So I think it's what I love most
- 3:24about these films and about the kinds of
- 3:26scenes that we all got to play is
- 3:27there's such humanity in there.
- 3:30>> You okay?
- 3:32Hey, Maggie, you okay?
- 3:33You okay? You all right?
- 3:46Where
- 3:47did you learn
- 3:54Yeah.
- 4:02>> Go
- 4:03>> With your permission, you spoke fluent
- 4:06Your character spoke fluent
- 4:08>> [laughter]
- 4:09>> Yeah.
- 4:09>> Korean, Russian. That was as fluent as
- 4:12I've ever heard on the streets of
- 4:14>> [clears throat]
- 4:14>> Koreatown here. So, did they help you
- 4:17out on that?
- 4:17>> I had a wonderful Korean teacher and I
- 4:20had a wonderful Russian teacher and I
- 4:23said to Steven is I I I need to start
- 4:25like eight weeks out.
- 4:27>> Yeah.
- 4:28You're an actor. You That's what you do.
- 4:30>> So, that was that was it. It was it was
- 4:32that and then and and and and they were
- 4:35wonderful with me and it should sound
- 4:37like it is coming out of her like
- 4:39waterish way.
- 4:40>> But but but okay, but listen, Steven
- 4:41also set her up in the most
- 4:42extraordinary way. She It's a winner. I
- 4:45I I want to watch that scene again and
- 4:46again of you entering and coming in you
- 4:48have all these other things you're
- 4:49navigating and then you drop into
- 4:51Korean. I'm like
- 4:52>> [laughter]
- 4:53>> I feel like I'm like oh, I would need
- 4:54the camera to go right when I start that
- 4:55Korean so I can watch it in my head, but
- 4:57I was like that's when I was like hats
- 5:00off.
- 5:01>> Thank you, baby.
- 5:01>> [clears throat]
- 5:02>> Yeah, it's really really outstanding.
- 5:04>> Okay, however however, I was more
- 5:07impressed when she started speaking
- 5:09alien.
- 5:16Oh, yeah.
- 5:17>> [laughter]
- 5:18>> She's got some alien on you. Some
- 5:20Exactly.
- 5:21>> Yes. That's very good.
- 5:23>> Wow. Maybe he Do you understand that?
- 5:25>> I mean he looks so
- 5:28>> It sounds like it's real. Do you
- 5:30understand it all?
- 5:31>> Was that your lunch order?
- 5:32>> [laughter]
- 5:36>> So, Colman, dude. Colman Domingo, that's
- 5:38the best name ever.
- 5:39>> Oh, thank you. Thank you.
- 5:40>> We all want that name.
- 5:41>> Isn't it wild that it's actually my real
- 5:43name?
- 5:43>> Re- Really?
- 5:44>> It's not made up at all.
- 5:44>> It's not on. Let me see your birth
- 5:45certificate right now.
- 5:46>> I'll send it to you.
- 5:47>> It's Coleman Jason Domingo.
- 5:49>> Gorgeous.
- 5:49>> Let me just say your character, and they
- 5:52must have known this before you got cast
- 5:55because looking at you speak, you had
- 6:00authority, but you had sensitivity. You
- 6:02had I I want to follow this man because
- 6:06I believe him. Something about you. Is
- 6:09it your face, your tone, how you spoke
- 6:12your lines? And and so it occurred to me
- 6:15no one else could have banded together
- 6:17that group of people
- 6:19to even people who you've never met,
- 6:21your character is
- 6:22is never met to trust you.
- 6:25That level of trust. I saw some of that
- 6:27in in Euphoria, of course. I think it's
- 6:29in you across roles.
- 6:31>> That soulfulness.
- 6:32>> Yeah, thank you.
- 6:33>> Soulfulness. Deep soulfulness.
- 6:35>> Talk to me about your soulfulness.
- 6:36>> [laughter]
- 6:37>> Talk to you about my soulfulness. I
- 6:38think Steven has a great great He's a
- 6:41great observer not only
- 6:43his acting company that he wants to put
- 6:44together, but he knows what you can
- 6:46bring to the character as well. I know
- 6:48that there's
- 6:49the elements that flow through Emily
- 6:51that she imbues her character with. You
- 6:53know what I mean? And I think same with
- 6:55me. I think that
- 6:56even in just just discussions with
- 6:58Steven,
- 6:59I think I I would just listen to Steven,
- 7:01who is an incredible leader, incredible
- 7:03humanitarian,
- 7:05incredibly witty and graceful and joyful
- 7:08and positive. You want to follow him
- 7:10wherever on this planet. And I literally
- 7:13would take from that from our
- 7:14conversations. I'm like I think I think
- 7:15I know exactly how to play it cuz I see
- 7:17it.
- 7:18I see what you're offering, Steven, as a
- 7:20leader. You know what I mean? Truly.
- 7:21>> It It was working. So, let me back into
- 7:23that character.
- 7:25There was that group of
- 7:27mutineers, let's call them, the people
- 7:29from the company who decided to
- 7:31participate in the disclosure.
- 7:32>> Yeah.
- 7:33>> Can you speculate
- 7:35why you didn't get more people than that
- 7:38from the company? Why would some people
- 7:40have stayed behind?
- 7:40>> and some some
- 7:41>> Yeah, why why? Can you speculate on
- 7:43that?
- 7:43>> I think it's just a split in like a
- 7:44people who believe what's right and
- 7:46what's wrong. And I think that he he it
- 7:48needed to be very private. It needed to
- 7:49be people who are very actionable and
- 7:51who can really
- 7:53who were very useful.
- 7:54>> But I bet the people who did not
- 7:56participate are thinking to themselves,
- 7:58"I'm doing what's right."
- 8:00>> Absolutely.
- 8:00>> Right. So right. I mean that's
- 8:01>> well, that's a split between I think my
- 8:03character and Colin Firth's character.
- 8:05It's like they were very much united on
- 8:07this mission and what they did.
- 8:08>> both leading something.
- 8:10>> Absolutely.
- 8:10>> Right.
- 8:11>> one I think took more of a
- 8:13philosophical view and really
- 8:15a different point of view and really as
- 8:17he got to know the, you know, the
- 8:19non-humans.
- 8:20>> Yeah.
- 8:20>> And he thought like this is something
- 8:22that we all that needs to change our
- 8:24world, you know?
- 8:25>> Uh-huh.
- 8:26>> And so he went full throttle.
- 8:28>> Yeah. So I just want to say that your
- 8:30performances
- 8:32they did what they're supposed to do.
- 8:33They made me feel
- 8:35everything you guys were going through
- 8:36and
- 8:37>> Thank you.
- 8:37>> it put me in the in in it. I mean I was
- 8:40there.
- 8:40>> Good.
- 8:41>> And so just put that out there. Now, I
- 8:44got to ask you just a stupid question
- 8:45just cuz it's a fun stupid question.
- 8:47>> I like that.
- 8:47>> Um Emily, who's your favorite alien
- 8:50ever?
- 8:52>> It's got to be ET.
- 8:54>> ET?
- 8:55>> Of course.
- 8:56>> Steven Spielberg is not in the room
- 8:57here. You know
- 8:58>> matter.
- 8:59He knows how much I love ET.
- 9:01>> I love ET, too.
- 9:02>> I just showed it to my children and they
- 9:04scream cried at the end.
- 9:07>> Really?
- 9:07>> Oh.
- 9:08>> Okay, I I have a secret about ET. It was
- 9:10divulged to me in my office by Steven
- 9:12Spielberg.
- 9:13>> What?
- 9:13>> Okay?
- 9:14>> Tell us.
- 9:14>> He
- 9:15said ET was conceived as an animate
- 9:18plant.
- 9:19>> Really?
- 9:20>> Yes.
- 9:20>> Really?
- 9:20>> That's why ET has that magic finger that
- 9:23can repair plants. That was not an
- 9:25accidental talent that ET carried
- 9:28because I had a conversation with him in
- 9:29my office about all the ways of being
- 9:31alive in the universe. And we imagined
- 9:34animate plants. It's not a first time
- 9:37anyone has thought about that. The Ents
- 9:39in Lord of the Rings, plus the the angry
- 9:42apple trees in in The Wizard of Oz,
- 9:45these are animate. And and Groot
- 9:47>> Right.
- 9:47>> Yeah. Yeah, these are animate plants.
- 9:49So, it's not a completely weird thing.
- 9:52And so, I just want to share that with
- 9:53you.
- 9:54If If Do you want to be ET or do you
- 9:55want to be a plant?
- 9:56>> Yeah, I'm happy to be a plant.
- 9:58>> [laughter]
- 9:59>> Colin, who are you going to be?
- 10:01>> ET.
- 10:02>> No, Colin. I don't want both of you
- 10:03sitting here. You both want to be ET.
- 10:05>> Honestly, I literally I thought the
- 10:06first thing I thought of was ET. And
- 10:08maybe it's because ET's part of our
- 10:09generation and feel like he was maybe
- 10:11>> You don't want to be Predator? You don't
- 10:12want to be
- 10:13>> No.
- 10:14No.
- 10:15No.
- 10:15>> Yoda?
- 10:17>> Mhm. Yoda? Not really.
- 10:19>> Yoda you will be.
- 10:20>> [laughter]
- 10:22>> No, I feel like it would feel like I
- 10:24don't know. I feel like What's an
- 10:26interesting alien. I feel like the other
- 10:28aliens are usually like really like
- 10:30they're scary and vicious and And maybe
- 10:32that maybe that's something about ET is
- 10:33just so sweet and cuddly.
- 10:35>> So, the evil alien is outside your You
- 10:37don't want to go there.
- 10:38>> down with the evil alien. Yeah, I want
- 10:40to believe that he's this alien's going
- 10:41to try to do more good than harm.
- 10:43>> And you realize, I think, that the evil
- 10:45alien trope is we projecting onto them
- 10:50our most diabolical intentions.
- 10:53>> Well, and also our fears of the unknown
- 10:56and how quickly they would come to
- 10:57destroy us.
- 10:58>> of that.
- 10:58>> No, but why No, yeah. Yes. However, the
- 11:01history of human civilization where one
- 11:04part of civilization had more technology
- 11:06than the other and they encounter, it
- 11:08never went well for the the civilization
- 11:11that was not advanced. They were killed,
- 11:14enslaved. So,
- 11:15>> And that's what you see. You see that in
- 11:17Edge of Tomorrow, War of the Worlds, A
- 11:19Quiet Place. They come in and they
- 11:21destroy.
- 11:22>> Yes. So, I'm delighted, I'm warmed that
- 11:26neither of you want to be an evil alien.
- 11:28>> I don't want to be an evil
- 11:28>> No, I don't want to be an evil alien.
- 11:30Not at all. No. No.
- 11:31>> No, that's great. So, Emily, if you had
- 11:33to choose one way to live the rest of
- 11:35your life, would it be as an imbued
- 11:38alien human, or would it be as Mary
- 11:40Poppins?
- 11:41>> Ooh.
- 11:46>> I didn't think that was a hard question.
- 11:47>> I think it's quite a hard question.
- 11:49>> In a way, Mary Poppins is kind of an
- 11:51alien herself.
- 11:52>> alien.
- 11:53>> is, actually.
- 11:53>> She can hop hops in. She can slide up
- 11:56the a banister.
- 11:57>> Yeah. She's got elite superhero powers.
- 12:00>> Yeah.
- 12:01>> I think being Margaret is a great gift,
- 12:03but if you're constantly, if you really
- 12:05have no mind of your own anymore, if it
- 12:07belongs to everyone that you're standing
- 12:09in front of, I think that would be
- 12:11exhausting, but yet I do believe she's
- 12:13going to be able to harness
- 12:15>> That's a good answer.
- 12:15>> I think both of them bring a lot of good
- 12:17to the world. It's just that Mary
- 12:18Poppins does it in a bit of a bitchier
- 12:20way.
- 12:21>> [laughter]
- 12:24>> She does.
- 12:25>> She really does.
- 12:27She She really [laughter] is. She really
- 12:28is. She's like, she ain't got no time
- 12:29for [ __ ]
- 12:30>> She ain't got time for [ __ ]
- 12:32>> You're both actors. What kind of alien
- 12:34would you like to act?
- 12:37>> [laughter]
- 12:40>> You know what?
- 12:43I'm going to go with this. I feel like a
- 12:44sexy alien.
- 12:45>> Oh, really?
- 12:46>> Yes, an alien.
- 12:47>> A really hot one.
- 12:48>> hot alien.
- 12:49>> alien.
- 12:49>> A hot alien. Like, I feel like aliens
- 12:52are never projected to be like, you
- 12:53know, like sensual and
- 12:55sexy.
- 12:56>> bald. You can give me an alien.
- 12:57>> they was bald? What if they had a head
- 12:58of hair?
- 12:58>> [laughter]
- 12:59>> What if they were
- 13:00What if they twerked a little bit?
- 13:02I don't know.
- 13:02I feel like a beautiful
- 13:03>> Don't don't make their heads so big.
- 13:05>> They're not so big. They're imagining
- 13:07>> big heads.
- 13:08>> Massive brains on them.
- 13:10>> head. A tiny head.
- 13:10>> So, I calculated, just want to know,
- 13:12>> [laughter]
- 13:12>> that their eyeballs are so big that if
- 13:15they're full spherical eyeballs in their
- 13:17head, if that head also contains their
- 13:19brains, there's less room for their
- 13:21brains.
- 13:21>> Oh.
- 13:22>> Right? So, aliens might
- 13:23>> mean that they're not smart?
- 13:24>> Yeah. Aliens might be stupider than
- 13:26we've ever considered. They have the
- 13:28same brain eyeball ratio.
- 13:31>> are in their eyes?
- 13:32>> Well, okay, that's a different theory.
- 13:33Let's be careful here.
- 13:34>> The brains could be completely somewhere
- 13:35else.
- 13:36>> Just somewhere in their big toe.
- 13:37>> Exactly. It's true.
- 13:38>> But I'm going to say something else.
- 13:40>> [laughter]
- 13:42>> This is our next movie part here.
- 13:43>> Yeah, exactly.
- 13:44>> So, and I also did the same calculation
- 13:46for Elsa from Frozen.
- 13:48>> She's got huge eyeballs.
- 13:50>> All the Disney girls have big eyeballs.
- 13:52>> What about their brains? No, there's no
- 13:54room
- 13:55>> [laughter]
- 13:57>> I'm sorry. I I shouldn't layer that on
- 13:59your head.
- 14:00>> [laughter]
- 14:00>> That's my That's my own issues I'm
- 14:02dealing with.
- 14:02>> to say Elsa.
- 14:03>> Now no one's going to look at anyone
- 14:04with big eyes again.
- 14:05>> Big eyes and light. They can't be very
- 14:06bright.
- 14:07>> [laughter]
- 14:09>> Bright eyes, yeah. Oh, wow.
- 14:11>> So, um, any future projects do you guys
- 14:13working What's what's next for you?
- 14:15>> What's next?
- 14:16Oh, I just finished a movie called An
- 14:18Innocent Girl for Netflix.
- 14:20It's just a sexy '90s thriller with me,
- 14:22Kerry Washington, and James Marsden.
- 14:23>> You as an alien?
- 14:24>> I am an alien.
- 14:25>> alien.
- 14:25>> [laughter]
- 14:25>> With a very with big eyes, exactly. So,
- 14:27I'm not too bright.
- 14:28>> Just a sexy '90s
- 14:29>> Just a sexy alien. A hot alien.
- 14:31[laughter]
- 14:32>> I I am actually about to do the third
- 14:34installment of A Quiet Place.
- 14:36>> Oh my god.
- 14:36>> So, John is shooting it right now.
- 14:38>> You're all in.
- 14:39>> All in.
- 14:40>> All in.
- 14:41>> aliens.
- 14:41>> And I'm old enough to remember Star Trek
- 14:43original run.
- 14:44>> Oh, yeah.
- 14:44>> And Captain Kirk did be a blue alien or
- 14:48a green alien, but she was hot.
- 14:51>> Was she?
- 14:51>> Oh, yeah. Definitely female.
- 14:53>> Yeah.
- 14:54>> Unquestionably feminine alien.
- 14:57And
- 14:58>> [laughter]
- 14:58>> he would kiss them and they would say,
- 15:00>> That's right.
- 15:01>> "What is kiss?" And he's like, "Oh, it's
- 15:03an Earth emotion."
- 15:04>> He's like he's like, "Let me show you."
- 15:05>> [laughter]
- 15:06>> Captain Kirk.
- 15:07>> Captain Kirk was getting it, though. But
- 15:09Captain Kirk was getting it.
- 15:10>> think she wanted it?
- 15:11>> I don't think she wanted it. I don't
- 15:13think there was consent. There was no
- 15:14consent at all back then.
- 15:15>> He was [laughter] getting galactic
- 15:16booty.
- 15:17>> '60s.
- 15:17>> All the time.
- 15:19>> All the time.
- 15:19>> Yeah, right. [laughter]
- 15:20>> And here's a fast fact that you didn't
- 15:22ask, but I'm going to tell you.
- 15:23>> What?
- 15:23>> Okay? There's one episode where he and
- 15:26Lieutenant Uhura
- 15:28>> Uhura.
- 15:28>> kiss. They kiss.
- 15:29>> on the lips.
- 15:29>> I I remember that.
- 15:30>> The first black-white kiss ever
- 15:32>> Really?
- 15:33>> on television.
- 15:34>> Yep.
- 15:34>> Really?
- 15:34>> Got hate mail
- 15:35>> It sure did.
- 15:36>> from the American South. Meanwhile, he's
- 15:38getting intergalactic booty with aliens
- 15:40of all skin [laughter] colors.
- 15:41>> And not one note.
- 15:42>> And not one note.
- 15:44>> Not cool.
- 15:44>> But Uhura, who for seasons we only saw
- 15:46the back of her head, [laughter]
- 15:47couldn't get one kiss.
- 15:51Cuz she's manning
- 15:52>> [laughter]
- 15:52>> the instruments.
- 15:54>> So, given disclosure day, are you guys
- 15:56more
- 15:58receiving of aliens coming out of the
- 16:00Pentagon? Are you
- 16:02>> I mean, I would like
- 16:03>> a little more convinced or less
- 16:04convinced?
- 16:04>> to know.
- 16:05>> I would like to know. I think I think
- 16:07that for us to be awestruck
- 16:10is a good thing. I think for humans to
- 16:12be made to feel appropriately humbled
- 16:15>> Mhm.
- 16:15>> would be a great thing.
- 16:17>> That's deep, actually.
- 16:18>> That's true.
- 16:18>> You need to be humbled every now and
- 16:19then, otherwise you take yourself too
- 16:21seriously.
- 16:21>> awe is an elusive emotion. I think if we
- 16:24could feel some of that there's the in
- 16:26that existential thing of being able to
- 16:27witness that it would be amazing for
- 16:29mankind.
- 16:30>> Ooh.
- 16:31>> I I think that's the most one of the
- 16:32most beautiful moments in our film is
- 16:33when you see people collectively all
- 16:35experiencing the same thing.
- 16:37>> That was the day the Earth stood still
- 16:38cuz everybody's looking at their
- 16:39smartphone.
- 16:40>> But but that's but that's that's like
- 16:41when any event happens in the world
- 16:44where like it suddenly unites us all. We
- 16:46know it's about it's about something
- 16:48okay, forget about what you've your
- 16:49politics and what you believe in all
- 16:51that and say, "Oh, you have to believe
- 16:52in something else. You have to believe
- 16:53in each other." And how are we going to
- 16:54do this thing together?
- 16:56>> Yeah.
- 16:56>> You know? So, I think that's what the
- 16:58awe that I think that we're hoping for.
- 17:00And if it means that we need to invite
- 17:02in the idea that there's more out there
- 17:04in the universe, how beautiful.
- 17:06>> I can't follow that with anything.
- 17:09>> a mic drop.
- 17:10>> [laughter]
- 17:10>> That was what we call a mic drop in our
- 17:11business.
- 17:13>> Pull that off there. There we go.
- 17:15Neil. [laughter]
