We were in this hall. That was… 75 years ago? It’s amazing I’m still around. I can’t wait to see this show. On some level, I know what’s going to happen. I’ve spent so much time with these characters, so to come back and fill the void in my imagination with this Technicolor show… it’s amazing.”

Phillips promised the prequel, “Expect even better than what you’ve seen before. It’s just amazing to see these characters in their younger years, and I promise the storylines will be surprising, moving and satisfying.”
“It’s a wide-open avenue,” Reynolds added of the prequel. “It’s wonderful to be able to tell the story of a kid who thinks he’s worthless and a father who says he’s not.”
