He acknowledged: ‘It’s very risky, you don’t want to shoot the original, you want something just as good. So I think he’s a little hesitant about that, trying to recreate something that was very specific to the era, but I hope he takes over.”

Justin added: ‘Vince is a very convincing person, so I hope Vince can convince him with his idea. It’s a funny idea, I don’t want to say what it is.’
