“There are a lot of CGI,” said Lorre. “There are a lot of special technical things that – you know, for me in my career, a large production number was two people sitting on a sofa, drinking coffee! It’s different. It is trying to incorporate part of this science fiction / fantasy world in a comedy. And I don’t have any experience with my element.
