Saved for all eternity, Episode 1 of our new Cinematic Universe ("A Dark Prophecy")

A few points about production that kept coming up during the media tour...

> We did get some pushback from the fans about the product placement for Pepsi and Yahoo, but that's just a reality for productions like this these days.

> For the record, the Prince estate has been wonderful to work with.

> The studio really went to bat for us to keep the Krampus character. I'm glad that the Chinese authorities finally came around to the idea that he's just global now.

> Working on location during the pandemic was also a real challenge, but the crew really came through.

> I have nothing against the use of CGI, and we might use it later. But when you can use practical effects, I really think you should. It just gives the actors more to work with.

Episode 2 drops in 14 days. If you would like to camp outside of my home in costume at any point during the build up, we can't stop you. But the police can.
