Let’s see what happens.’

Moore starred alongside the late Patrick Swayze in the 1990 supernatural romantic thriller, which ended up becoming an unexpected box office success, grossing over $500 million.

Later in the episode, Evans also asked the Quarrel star on what she sees as the biggest existential threat to filmmaking, having starred in dozens of projects throughout her acting career.

“I think that would be the loss of the cinematic experience,” Moore responded. “I think the risk – not just in cinema, but in life in general – is that we are moving towards too much isolation.
