"The post-credit thing that we're offering is a glimpse at the next movie that we actually made in between ‘Longlegs' and ‘The Monkey,' which is such an insane thing to say, we've done so much work in the last two years,

The Monkey’s repeated tagline — “Everybody dies” — is presented as maybe a little cathartic, a little bit of a relief, because it’s so absolute and inarguable. But when the characters say it, the tone is cynical, sometimes a little scary, sometimes bitter. It’s a complicated message. How were you hoping people would take it?
