What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChris Pratt returns for season two of The Terminal List on Prime, and Tom Rhys Harries stars in Clayface, which opens Friday and is rated R.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love it. A B-movie actor sees a career opportunity, takes a big swig, and ends up made entirely of clay. Great initiative!

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a body horror film, Chip. The substance was meant to help his career, and it turned him into clay.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMike Flanagan co-wrote it, Matt Reeves produced it, and it runs one hundred eight minutes. That's a full commitment to the role.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe man is made of clay and you're counting the minutes.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStill ahead, I bet there's a jersey dilemma somewhere for somebody's parents on Sunday.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe drank it, Chip. That's the whole plot.
