Billy Crudup compares working on HelloTomorrow to Big Fish.

Billy Crudup is currently starring in Apple TV+'s Hello Tomorrow!, and he recently had the chance to chat with ComicBook.com's Chris Killian about the new show. During the interview, Killian brought up one of Crudup's most beloved movies, Tim Burton's Big Fish. The 2003 film told the story of Edward Bloom and his fantastical, exaggerated memories.

"No question, I am in the 'Jack' phase of my life now. Looking back, I relate much more to Albert Finney's character now than I did when we did the movie. I can remember trying to convince Tim Burton that my character was the protagonist. In fact, he was the one who was holding on to the truth, and everyone kept saying, 'No no, Billy, you're not getting it. The beautiful fantasies that he's creating are making a magical life.

What Is Hello Tomorrow! About?You can read Apple TV+'s synopsis for the new show here:"Set in a retro-future world, Hello Tomorrow!
