But the thing that's crazy is you know that we've done mostly R-rated comedies, right? So what you're normally getting is very cynical people in their twenties standing in line waiting to rip you apart or in the best-case scenario just go hysterical at any of the vignettes you do
What normally happens in a test audience where everyone claps and laughs and then rip you apart on cards.
Again, that's a great story, and I love learning about Javier. Before we run out of time with you guys, I have some other questions. You mentioned Distant already, which is coming out next year, which is a completely different film for the two of you. What can you tease people about it?
SPECK: It was a very contained story. That's what we were excited about. It's really just one man against the elements. And then, there's a twist where he finds another survivor. It's Anthony Ramos and Naomi Scott, and they're both fantastic. I think what's fun about it is it really takes Anthony in a different direction, because it has a very dramatic core because of the set of circumstances, but there's some humor. It gives a range for this actor that you haven't seen, and he really delivers.
GORDON: He's fantastic in it. We joke it's a survival, horror, romantic comedy.
When do you think the marketing will start where we'll see a poster and a trailer and everything else?
GORDON: We're already starting to look at posters and trailers, so I think it's going to start gearing up soon.
Distant (DISTN) still has no trailer for Jan 27 release. Must be moving date or going to a streamer surely? {nm} Dec 28, 20:31

Which is basically the same tough to crack niche LOVE & MONSTERS was. {nm} Dec 28, 21:20
You mean like Shaun of the Dead? {nm} Dec 29, 04:13
In spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace! {nm} Dec 29, 15:16
At this point, would make sense to hold it until after TFRM7 makes Anthony Ramos a bigger name (Late Summer/Early Fall) Dec 29, 00:07
Thanks for the information. {nm} Dec 28, 20:41
