Eternity Stars Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller & Callum Turner Analyze Their Afterlife Love Triangle
Shocking news. You’re dead. Yeah. How’d you know? It took him forever to figure that out. Guys, we were just speaking before uh we started rolling. This is a very special film. I always like to show whenever I take a lot of notes during a project. These are how many notes I took during eternity. Oh wow. You could see in the dark that well. It’s a little phone light. It helps. Miles, start with you. Your career began with some great romcoms. That awkward moment is one of my favorite one of the reasons why I moved to New York. Makes me romanticize the city so well. Yeah. Heck yeah. You, I feel like, haven’t done a romcom like this since you got married. Am I mistaken in saying that? Uh, no, you’re not mistaken in saying that. How have you seen the genre evolve from those two different periods of your life? Kind of pre-marriage and after. Yeah. You know, I don’t know. I think the even I guess for for my generation, you know, it’s like even something like You’ve Got Mail, I think that probably came out when I was like 9 or 10. Uh on the earlier side. I think some of the romantic comedies maybe have leaned into the comedy a little more. There’s kind of a lot more oneliners maybe. And what I loved about this, it just it felt very character-driven. There’s a real arc here. You really care about kind of the progression of these these characters. And it’s it’s incredibly heartwarming. And for me, uh I’ve certainly made some comedies where we’re just going for the biggest laughs possible, but for this one, it it just really felt truthful um and sincere. And I like movies that treat the audiences with sincerity. Yeah, the characters are so rich, especially Joan. You kind of get to play two different characters in this film because Joan’s relationship with Luke is so different from her relationship with Larry. Uh, one side of you has those puppy dog young love eyes. The other side is 65 years old or 65 years of marriage and going, “Ah, you shouldn’t have had the pretzels.” And I noticed little things that changed, whether it be your eye acting, whether it be your vocal inflections, little things like that. Were was that all intentional when playing those two halves of Joan? And how did you find those two different sides? Well, I think when we even if we’re uh if we have, you know, without having lost someone, if we haven’t seen someone that was important to us, uh in a moment in our lives, we haven’t seen them in 10 years, when we see them, we kind of return to the people that we were, um you know, even if we’re trying not to. Um, and so I thought about that a lot with Luke. And the woman she was was obviously younger, but also maybe not as uh sure in how like what she has to say or how she says it or her own mannerisms or making a mistake or not wanting to and like just being kind of overwhelmed by that that kind of the butterfly feelings. Whereas with Larry, there’s almost like a deflation. Tired. Yeah. A tired feeling. But it’s because of that intimacy that you you you get from that kind of comfort with someone for so many years. And so there is a difference I think how we I think we’re all slightly different versions of ourselves depending on who we’re with or who’s around and um and so I think it was an opportunity to to get to show that. Yeah. One was love without knowing loss, without having a mortgage. I thought that was one of the best lines in the really stuck with me. Callum, Luke is a really good listener. And I picked up on this because uh when when Larry references his great-granddaughter, uh Luke responds and says Charlotte. Like names are so hard to register, especially when you don’t have a face to put to a name. But the fact that he remembered a little detail like that, I thought spoke a lot about who he is. Could you speak to the value of being a good listener? What’ you say? Um God, um no. Uh I uh he’s been in a junction for 67 years. You know, he’s been waiting for a long long time and I guess he’s incredibly susceptible to everything around him and people are coming through. People don’t stay for a long time and he’s managed to build a few relationships with people that have stayed in the junction to work. Um but really he’s been waiting for for Joan this whole time. And you know to be a good listener I guess is about communication. You know separate to Luke. Al also to be a good bartender you got to be a good listener you know you go there for that sometimes they listen to a lot of stories man it’s how you get a good tip how you can afford to to live in your nice area uh of the junction miles you’re having a great week uh the Michael trailer just came out I was blown away by it we got a brief snippet of Miles in it you blink and you miss it but everyone’s making the rounds right now with the wig and the transformation you’re unrecognizable project could you I guess it’s just a wig yeah I don’t know I don’t I don’t I’m like not online really too much, but uh some people were telling me that. Yeah, I only asked if it was just a wig cuz when I look at the freeze frame, it looks like there was no prosthetics on your face. No, we did. Yeah, we did some stuff. Honestly, that that hair and makeup team, the attention to detail, uh obviously the Michael estate is is heavily involved. Jafar, who’s his nephew, who’s playing Michael, people are going to freak out. He uh he put so much he had so much natural Michael that Jackson DNA in him, but he you know he put the the time in like several years before cameras started rolling. So yeah, I’m I’m excited. Wow. It’s going to be a big one. Uh Callum to talk about your future. Neurommancer, everyone is so elated that that project is actually being developed. The top comments on the production teaser trailer said, “Please don’t mess this up. People are so in tune with this project.” Have you are you still in production? No, we finished about uh six weeks ago. And did you mess it up? Maybe. No, I we had William Gibson was was a part of the process and you know, it’s his book. It’s his vision. It’s it’s all in and I think we did a brilliant job. I’m I’m excited and everyone is really happy with it. So, I’m excited for that to come out and share it with you guys. Amazing. You’re in the the gold standard of sci-fi, serialized sci-fi. I’ve never done a sci-fi before. So, it was uh it was an interesting uh the thing about neurommancer that’s so beautiful is that it’s it’s a world that could exist. It’s not a world that, you know, we have to think, oh, what’s that? What’s that? It’s things that we recognize and everything’s incredibly tangible and yeah, we did a good job. I’ll wrap with a fun one. Uh I’m sure a lot of people have asked you about your dream eternities, but one thing I found very interesting about this film was the job you could take in the junction if you are to wait for someone. What is a job that you wouldn’t mind doing for maybe as long as 67 years? In the junction. in the junction. Yeah. I couldn’t last there. No job. No. No. No. I’d have to pick something. I don’t think I could last in bartender cuz I would like to hear people’s I do like people. I like talking to to people. My wife is not a fan of small talk at all. But I enjoy like strangers. She’s a very good conversationalist. She is. But when but she likes her small group of people that she likes, but she she’s not a small talk person. I enjoy the hey, you know, here’s a here’s a dime, you know, let me hear your story and that kind of thing. That’s a Grateful Dead lyric. But get the hell out of there. Yeah, I agree. I would I would also Yeah, I would I would find my attorney. Find your attorney. Yeah, I I guess I’m the only one who answered your question. So, one of the best jobs is bartender. It is, you know. So, what you could bartend with me, dude. I might do I think bartender would be the one to go. Yeah, but that’s the that’s the kind of cheap answer. I don’t want to mop floors, you know. I don’t want to You have to do that stuff. I like being a Yeah, I I used to want to be a chef when I was younger. I wouldn’t mind cooking for people like a teles chef but Oh gosh. Emerald Legosi man. Here’s something I made earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Look at this. That could be fun. Well guys, this is a very special film. Always an honor to romcom. A moment for romcoms was here. 24.
