We shot in 16 in the UK in the English countryside.

Warner has a studio called Leavesden and it's about an hour or hour and a half out of London.

And we shot there in 2016 and then it was in post-production throughout all of 2017.

And then it came out March of 2018.

And we premiered it at the South by Southwest Film Festival opening weekend, Sunday afternoon of 2018.

And that's relevant because a really cool thing for me was when my movie, The Age of Disclosure was done, we also premiered it in the exact same slot, Sunday afternoon, opening weekend of South by Southwest Film Festival.

And we premiered in the same theater, the Paramount Theater in Austin.

the historic Paramount Theater.

It's like an 1100 seat theater.

And it was pretty surreal for me being on stage introducing the movie while I have this memory of sitting in the audience watching Spielberg introduce Ready Player One in the same place in 2018.

That's pretty incredible, dude.

Yeah, yeah.

What's even weirder, like kind of a glitch in the matrix, it was South by Southwest Film Festival 2006 that I met Ernest Cline, who wrote Ready Player One.

So this all kind of happened within a couple blocks of each other, which is kind of weird.

That's wild.

Yeah, it's wild.

But no, Spielberg had a huge influence on me.

Just a little bit on set, making the movie.

He's got a new movie coming out.

Yeah, he's got Disclosure Day coming out in June.
