00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:01.770
- Hey, my name is Jack Reynor,

2
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:03.750
I am here with "The Peripheral"

3
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.650
on Amazon Studios Original

4
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:08.113
and The A.V. Club.

5
00:00:08.113 --> 00:00:10.780
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:13.117 --> 00:00:15.360
"What's your favorite
sci-fi film or TV..."

7
00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:16.357
Mm!

8
00:00:16.357 --> 00:00:18.357
"Or TV show of all time?"

9
00:00:19.567 --> 00:00:20.767
"The Thing."

10
00:00:20.767 --> 00:00:22.100
"What makes 'The Peripheral'
stand out compared

11
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:24.330
to other projects about virtual reality

12
00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:26.400
and a dystopian future?"

13
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.470
I think it has the most
unique time travel element

14
00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:35.450
of any film or television series ever.

15
00:00:37.147 --> 00:00:40.530
"How would you describe the
TV show in only three words?"

16
00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:42.007
I could not.

17
00:00:42.007 --> 00:00:43.980
"Three years after "Midsommar",

18
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:45.750
do fans recognize you for the role

19
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:47.670
or comment about Christian's faith?"

20
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.470
All the time. All the time.

21
00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:52.470
That's definitely the
one these days where...

22
00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:54.900
Yeah, people are still coming
up to me about that movie,

23
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:58.020
and it's still totally
split down the middle

24
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:02.130
of whether people
empathize with my character

25
00:01:02.130 --> 00:01:03.960
and feel like he got a pretty raw deal

26
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.540
or people are like, "No, fuck that guy.

27
00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:07.927
He got what was coming to him."

28
00:01:07.927 --> 00:01:10.797
"What's the weirdest fan
interaction you've had?"

29
00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:15.570
There was a woman in Japan

30
00:01:15.570 --> 00:01:20.570
who screamed a guttural, terrifying scream

31
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:26.523
when I walked past her on the
"Transformers" red carpet.

32
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.910
I guess I was led by my publicist

33
00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:31.170
to the other side of the red carpet.

34
00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:33.210
It wasn't like I was trying
to be dismissive of her,

35
00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:34.710
but she was not taking it,

36
00:01:34.710 --> 00:01:37.530
and she gutturally screamed,

37
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.160
jumped across the barrier reaching for me.

38
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:42.480
And the last I saw of her,

39
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.320
there was like 10 huge
Japanese dudes in black suits

40
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.680
just smashing her into the ground,

41
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.600
and she was dragged away,

42
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.720
and that was definitely the
weirdest fan interaction

43
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:56.047
that I've had.

44
00:01:56.047 --> 00:01:59.460
"What do you hope audiences
take away from "The Peripheral"?

45
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:00.600
I hope people just love it.

46
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:03.390
I hope people feel like
it's really original,

47
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:05.730
and it's refreshing and something new

48
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.763
because I think we all need
new stuff at the moment.
