this is my standard this is my standard yeah and i and the readers i i think and hope that they will feel spoiled too and i hope that like all of the other teams will will see this as like a good blueprint for like how to make a great adaptation i think like hamnet is another good example i've not seen it yet um but it's so cool to me that chloe zhao who's like this powerhouse who did not have to let anyone else be involved at all but she specifically wanted the author

to co-write with her and had to like kind of talk her into it and they got this like by all accounts beautiful movie out of it and because it's like she's so good at what she does but the novelist knows the story and these characters so well and I just think like when you can find someone you collaborate with really well that's when you're going to get like the absolute best outcome and Brett and I worked really

really well together.

That's gorgeous.

We left the theater and Adriana was like, oh, they put some love into that.

Yeah.

And like everyone at Netflix, too, like they were really passionate.

Like, I can't believe everything that they've done to promote it and all the excitement for it.

I mean, you know, the thing with with rom coms, like the reason that they're like easy to get made theoretically is because they're inexpensive compared to like a Marvel movie.

Like, we don't need special effects, like whatever.

And Netflix has been the first studio to really embrace romance.

A lot of the other studios have been very slow to understand that there's an audience there.

They're like, wait, women?

I haven't heard of that.

What do you mean?

Can you draw one?

Women, money, I don't know.

Yeah, it's really, it's wild.

Publishing, I feel like, already had this moment like 10 years ago.

They already know.
