MaxGUEST
so it's and if it's a if it's a passion project by tom holland then i think it's it'll probably end up being good since since if he's a huge fan he'll probably do like his best to make sure that it stays true true to who he was and how and how he was and you know and uh and uh it'd be interesting to see who who he wants to direct it at this at the end and and maybe maybe maybe he's like oh biopic because maybe in the back of his head actually somewhere in the

hall it looks like Paul King is directing.

JonesHOST
That really feels like him trying to come for the crown and get out of the shackles of this big kind of IP stuff that has been only what has really worked for him quite so far.
BenGUEST
I definitely agree, and that was on the list of things that I was thinking, you know, what could I bring to the new segment of this? I believe it's Paul King who is attached to that movie.
BenGUEST
Of course, Paul King, who worked with Timothee Chalamet on Wonka, did the first two Paddington movies.
BenGUEST
Yeah, I like all those movies.
BenGUEST
I think they did a great job to, you know, not just give you what you expect out of, like, a Wonka movie or a Paddington movie, but really bring some...
Amanda DobbinsHOST
Me too.
