As we now wait for the fourth episode of Skeleton Crew to arrive, marking the halfway point of the debut season of the show, the cast and crew have been hitting the promotional road, burning tarmac to make sure the world knows all about the show which is charming audiences across the globe. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Wim himself Ravi Cabot-Conyers discussed the show and some of his highlights.

THR: What’s been the highlight of your press tour so far?

RCC: Honestly, it’s been hearing how much everyone loves what we’ve created and worked so hard on. Another highlight is finally being able to talk about it. We wrapped production almost two years ago, so it’s been hard not talking about it until now. During the tour, Jon Watts said that he felt like a big little kid working on this, and I just loved hearing him say that.

THR: Well, after three episodes, I can’t wait to see the rest of the series.

RCC: You’re going to love it.

Ravi also remembers a cool moment on set when Second Unit Director and supervising stunt coordinator George Cottle grabbed his phone and made a very special call.

THR: George Cottle, FaceTimed Tom Holland on set one day. They worked together on all of Watts’ Spider-Man movies. Was he just trying to do something cool for you guys?

RCC: Robert [Timothy Smith] is a huge fan of Jon’s Spider-Man stuff, as am I. But Robert, in particular, was like, “What was it like working with Tom Holland?” And George Cottle was like, “You want me to call him and find out?” So we called him, and I was so excited. I’ve always admired Tom, and I’m a huge fan. I’ve loved everything that he’s done. So George and Tom were so nice to us that day. Tom was actually on [another] set when we called him, so it was really funny. George actually said that we picked up on stunts faster than Tom did, which was also really funny. (Laughs)

We had the great opportunity to chat briefly with Ravi and Robert on Trafalgar Square last month, which you can see below.
