A highlight from Tim Burton - 'Wednesday' [LIVE]
"Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the 507th episode of the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast. I'm the host Scott Feinberg and my guest today is a filmmaker unlike any other. With directing credits dating back some 40 years including 1985's Pee Wee's Big Adventure, 1988's Beetlejuice, 1989's Batman, 1990's Edward Scissorhands, 1994's Ed Wood, 2003's Big Fish, 2005's Corpse Bride, 2007's Sweeney Todd, 2012's Frankenweenie, 2014's Big Eyes, and most recently in 2022, half of the eight episodes that comprise the first season of Netflix's giant hit drama series, Wednesday, for which he is personally nominated for two Emmys, Best Directing for a Comedy Series, and as one of the show's executive producers, Best Comedy Series. The New York Times has called him a visionary artist, noting, quote, he has developed a singular if not easily pinned down sensibility. His style is strongly visual, darkly comic, and morbidly fixated, but it is rooted just as much in his affection for monsters and misfits, which in his movies often turn out to be the same thing. He all but invented the vocabulary of the modern superhero movie, brought new vitality to stop motion animation, and has come to be associated, for better or worse, with anything that is ghoulish or ghastly without being inaccessible. He may be the most widely embraced loner in contemporary cinema, close quote. His most frequent collaborator, Johnny Depp, who he has directed in 19 films, said that he is, quote, a filmmaker I admire, but he's much, much more than that. Without embarrassing him, he's a true artist, which is something I wasn't sure was possible in today's cinema. But he's the real thing. He's a visionary, an auteur, totally uncompromising, close quote. He's talking, of course, about Tim Burton. Over the course of a conversation in front of a large audience at the Burbank International Film Festival, including two of Burton's most celebrated and longtime collaborators, the composer Danny Elfman and the costume designer Colleen Atwood, the 65 -year -old and I discussed his complicated childhood and how it led him to pursue drawing and attracted him to characters regarded by others as freaks, how he wound up working at Disney Animation and then making his feature directorial debut with a live action film, the challenges of getting films made even with hits under his belt and what ultimately led him to TV for Wednesday, plus much more. And so, without further ado, let's go to that conversation. Hello, everyone, and Tim, thank you so much for doing this. Great to see you. I normally begin every episode of this podcast asking our guests where they were born and raised, which I think we have addressed, but I do want to get into it a little bit more because, you know, over the years, you have expressed that sort of what you just alluded to, that, you know, you were very shaped by Burbank. For better or worse, there were elements that were great, elements that were complicated. Can you talk about, but one thing that you've always said is that without Burbank and without those childhood experiences, the filmmaker we know today would not exist. So just break it down. Well, I mean, you know, I keep reading that I hate, you know, like the press has a way of sort of taking what you say and take out the nuance and subtlety and, you know, like go right to the core. But I think, you know, and when I said about whatever I said about Burbank, it had more to do with my own psychological state of mind than it did with the actual city of Burbank. You know what I mean? So and that's a bit too complicated and psychological to go into now, but in the sense that, you know, you grow up in feeling a certain way, Burbank helped shape me because, you know, there was like my first film school was the Cornell Theatre. There was this amazing theatre that was torn down, I think, in the late in the 80s. I don't know when it was, but, you know, they would for 50 cents, you could see a triple feature. Like, I saw one amazing, I saw War of the Gargantuas, Monster Zero and Destroy All Monsters in one go, you know, 50 cents. So that's where I learned my love of film and that really, so there was amazing places and it was incredible. There was like five movie theaters, Burbank at a certain time, and then they all got sort of taken away. But for me, that place, especially that theater was very, very special to me. And you've said that during your years in Burbank, which I think up until 12, you're living at, was it Evergreen Street? Is that where you were? Yeah, right down the street. Just down the street here. You can all walk over there after this. Yeah, we'll do a little. Check it out. Then you moved in with your grandmother also in Burbank, right? But as a bit of a loner, as a kid, you were kind of thinking about things, dreaming about things in everywhere from some of the cemeteries in town to... Yeah, the one right next door here, you know, I used to play around there, you know, that was, yeah. Yeah. You know, and I could look out my window, the thing that freaked me out, I looked out my window at Disney and this was like the weird, called the Bermuda Triangle of Burbank. Because I could see where I was born at St. Joseph's and then I could see the cemetery where everybody, all my family was buried. And I was, so it was like a weird Bermuda Triangle that I had to escape at a certain point because it was just too scary. Now, you've also said that as a kid, you were, you know, not only a bit of a loner, but sort of not particularly communicative, verbal with other people. You lived in your imagination, which manifested itself through drawing. Can we talk about how that entered the picture? And as was noted, I mean, to the extent that it was, you were talented enough that in Burbank, your work, anti -littering art was on the back of every garbage truck. I wanted $10, and at that time, that's probably like about a million now. Right, right, right. But drawing was an outlet for you. What kind of things were you drawing as a kid? Posters for trash trucks, I don't know, I mean, whatever. But also, I mean, the movies that you were drawn to, and I believe maybe therefore some of things the you were drawing were things that other people might find frightening or scary, but that you actually, in a way, related to, right? Like what are we talking about? Yeah, but I mean, like, you know, I didn't feel that different. It felt like, you know, I love famous monsters. I wait for that magazine to come out. I love monster movies. I live near a cemetery. You know, I mean, you use what you have, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was good. Totally. And I think also, too, growing up in Southern California, where you don't really have seasons, I think that's why I kind of got into, you know, like things like Nightmare for Christmas or Halloween, just because it gave you a sense of occasion, a sense of season that you didn't get through the weather, you know, I mean, to experience, like holidays, you had to go like to the main, like, at Save On and look at the holiday displays to kind of experience.

Hi, everyone, and thank you for tuning in to the 506th episode of the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast. I'm the host, Scott Feinberg, and my guest today is one of the most significant filmmakers of the last 50 years. His credits include classic narrative films like 1984's Paris, Texas, which won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d 'Or and brought him a Best Director BAFTA Award. And 1987's Wings of Desire, for which he won Cannes' Best Director Prize, as well as documentary films such as 1999's Buena Vista Social Club, 2011's Pina, and 2014's Salt of the Earth, each of which brought him Best Documentary Feature Oscar nominations. And now, at the age of 78, he is out with two new films, one a narrative, Neon's Perfect Days, the story of a Tokyo toilet cleaner, for which Koji Yakusho won the Best Actor Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the other a 3D doc, Janice Films' Anselm, about the art of the German painter and sculptor, Anselm Kiefer. The recipient of the Berlin International Film Festival's Honorary Golden Bear in 2015 and the Telluride Film Festival's Silver Medallion Award this year, he has been described by The Guardian as one of the key figures, along with Fassbender, Herzog, and Schlondorf, of the new German cinema movement that reinvigorated West German film in the 70s, and gave the country of Marlene Dietrich, UFA, and F .W. Murnau a bona fide cinematic movement to rival the Nouvelle Vague, by The New York Times as a film visionary and a great hero of art film audiences everywhere, and by Turner Classic Movies as one of his generation's most appreciated independent filmmakers, VIM Vendors. Over the course of our conversation at the Toronto offices of Elevation Pictures, the Canadian production and distribution company, the 78 -year -old and I discussed his circuitous path to filmmaking and the challenges of forging a career as a filmmaker in Germany back when he was starting out, what led him to America for a number of years and then back to Germany, why he moves between narrative and documentary films as often as any filmmaker except perhaps Martin Scorsese, and why he is particularly committed to making 3D docs, plus much more. And so without further ado, let's go to that conversation. Mr. Vendors, thank you so much for doing this. Great to have you on the podcast. And to begin with, just for anyone who may be living under Iraq and doesn't know, can you share where you were born and raised and what your folks did for a living? So I'm Wim Vendors and I was born in Germany right after the Second World War in August 1945, in a fateful week for the Japanese people. Grew up in post -war Germany, wanted to become a painter. First studied philosophy and medicine but then really drew up the courage to go fully for painting and cocky as I was, I went to Paris thinking that's where you become a painter and instead of becoming a painter in Paris, I became a filmmaker because I discovered the Cinematheque and that you can see the entire movies of the entire world and every screening was for 25 cents, so I saw about a thousand movies in the course of a year and after that it was decided. It wasn't painting, it was movies. Right. Now just to go backwards for a moment though, you've spoken about sort of this sense of growing up in Germany after the war, there were a lot of secrets, a lot of darkness, unanswered questions and you've talked about your parents having, I guess, photos that really kind of maybe opened your mind to the world beyond where you were from. Can you talk about that? Well, when I was a little boy and I started school, the growing up world was very, very busy, reconstructing the country and looking forward to the future and it was all positive and beautiful and you realize even as a boy there's something wrong. Why isn't the past ever a subject and why does nobody look over their shoulders? And eventually you realize all that building and all that effort to rebuild the future was in order to, as fast as possible, forget about the past. And when I saw pictures from the past, also family pictures, there were all these uniforms and, I mean, my father was a doctor in the Second World War and as soon as he finished his studies, they threw him to the front and he was a surgeon and for four years he didn't do anything but put people back together.

I'm the host, Scott Feinberg, and my guest today is a stand -up comedian, actor, and author who has been a fan favorite for decades. Perhaps best known as one of the four stand -ups featured in Spike Lee's blockbuster documentary The Original Kings of Comedy back in 2000, he also starred on TV programs such as the WB's The Steve Harvey Show from 1996 through 2002, and on CBS's The Neighborhood, which began in 2018 and is heading into its sixth season. And he's also been in numerous films, most notably the Barbershop trilogy, with installments in 2002, 2004, and 2016. Back in 2002, A .O. Scott wrote in the New York Times, quote, He takes his obligations to the audience seriously, and no comedian working today holds up his end of the bargain better, close quote. He, of course, is Cedric Kyle's, better known as Cedric the Entertainer. Over the course of our conversation at the L .A. offices of The Hollywood Reporter, the 59 -year -old and I discussed his unexpected path to comedy and the origin of his unusual stage name, his occasional forays into dramatic acting in films such as 2007's Talk to Me, 2008's Cadillac Records, and 2017's First Reformed, his debut novel, Flipping Boxcars, co -written with Alan Eisenstock, which was inspired by a grandfather he never met, and which Amistad, a division of HarperCollins, will release on September 12th, plus much more. And so, without further ado, let's go to that conversation.

"So how do we educate people to start to expect it? Well, first of all, I'm going to just say this and nobody's going to listen, but it's fine. This is my one outlet, right? Let's start teaching all kinds of movies in high school. When you have to take art that also your art teacher shows you. The conformist, right? So I think if that starts to become part of the tradition, which by the way, it is in France. They have an understanding actually of the long-term implications of cinema as a cultural product, which is why there are government financed subsidies in cinema there. Now I'm not sure that's the answer because it's not like that's led to some amazing explosion of a new French new wave or something. But I think we have to start thinking in these terms because the cinema is part of who we are as Americans. It's part of our cultural seed corn. This is not just some business that you cast off after it stops making money. This is part of our outreach into the world. So I think that these big blockbusters are great for the industry, but it doesn't mean that it's the only kind of movie that we should be making. So you asked me the question, do I have optimism about a really or what do I do? I think I keep fighting and I keep trying to make the films I want and love to make and need to make. And then you let the chips fall where they may. It can not be the filmmaker who does the self censoring. An executive consensus me. Right now, I'm trying to just express myself as best I can. We'll keep up the good fight and thank you so much for the films and for doing this and you're welcome. Really appreciate it, thank you. You're so welcome. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

"Hi everyone, and thank you for tuning in to the 469th episode of The Hollywood Reporter's awards chatter podcast. I'm the host, Scott feinberg, and my guest today is a New York born LA based filmmaker who has been described by the Los Angeles Times as a director who has uncommonly carved a career on his own terms. By The New York Times, as an accidental maverick, an unrepentant traditionalist in a business that prizes newness and schtick. And by the French newspaper le monde, as one of the great American directors of our time. He has written or co written and directed 8 feature films over the last 28 years. 1990 fours little Odessa, 2000s the yards, 2007s we on the night, 2008s two lovers, 2013s, the immigrant, 2016s the lost city of Z 2019s ad Astra, and this year's Armageddon time. All of which had their world premiere at one of the world's elite film festivals, 5 at Cannes, two at Venice, and one at New York. I'm talking, of course, about James gray. Over the course of our conversation at his home in Los Angeles, the 53 year old and I discussed the turmoil that was going on at home in New York as he headed off to LA to attend film school and then at the age of just 23 to make his widely acclaimed first feature, the challenges that he has encountered along the way, both on Indies, including multiple run ins with Harvey Weinstein, and on studio films, including having a film taken away from him, why he has so often returned in his films to New York's outer boroughs and to the subjects of immigration, social class, and his own family, most recently, in Armageddon time, plus much more, and so without further ado, let's go to that conversation.

"Forgiving the top? Oh, great. Question. I don't know. I don't know. And I don't know in terms of where that sits for the upcoming season. Well, I would say to it is like it would be far more interesting if it's more difficult to forgive somebody. I think that's where drama and conflict lies. So though I don't know one way or the other, I would say that's the more likely. Do you have any has anyone ever communicated to you or have you guys communicated to the show? How long you think Succession can go on? I would love to see another season. I think it's really hard when you do something and you feel like just getting going on the first season. Second season, okay, all right, let's get a little comfortable confident pandemic. Then you start seeing like, okay, this feels like a new beginning in a way. Like you feel like you've just done it again. And then to begin force season in that frame of mind feels like one definitely need another one. Is there any question? Is there a possibility this is it? Or you have no idea. It's like a 50 50 yes or no, who knows? They're not going to say one way or the other to us or to Jesse. Who knows? Right. I know that I would love to because there's so it feels like halted and stopped starting in a way that has not been like I haven't tired of the cast or the script or the character in any in any sense that makes me go yes, definitely want to see the back of this. And you have been, I will just quickly note there's been things in the off seasons where pieces of lemon, American pickle all the now you think you're getting into directing I'd seen. So I guess it's 7 months you said of the year. So massive time commitment. And her is a part of me as an actor who's like, I'd love to do another season because I don't know if I'm going to get another job again. I don't concede my life is so different from before I started to now. And actually everybody in the class would see is no amount of time, but during this half of Jeremy's in three kids, Karen's had a two, you know, we're all in very different my circumstances and I think, you know, inhabiting ourselves differently from 6 years ago. And I don't know what life after Succession looks like. So of course that one of the seasons, because I don't want things to change, just yet. Right. Well, somewhat related the next one of these is just, you brought up the point earlier, some people say, there's nobody to like on Succession. These are all forgive me. Sometimes they say a bunch of assholes like out of whatever. What is your theory of why people do? Still keep watching. Hate watching element, I think. I can't believe that go so much. So much money and they're still unhappy. There's like, but there's also the familiarity as well. I think all these characters exist in every stranger of wealth. You know, there's just because you're an asshole doesn't mean you have to be wealthy or plenty. And also, it's pretty plenty of people who are like, you know, struggling financially who want more. And we'll do anything to get it. And it doesn't change when you're a person who has everything. You still probably, if you're that kind of person, want more. And you'll be able to get it. Last three of these cookies would Succession work as well if it's seasons dropped all at once as opposed to the weekly rollout. Oh, I don't know. I think yes and no, it might have hit in a different way earlier and maybe the length of time that it's sort of having its own. Kind of Ardent fit. And I know people who really abhor the fact that they have to wait. And all the fact they're going to have to wait. And some people who love it because they get to watch it twice. They question Emerson twice. And they know the episodes and the characters better than I do sometimes, and they know what's happening while they say this, they say that learning that relates to this three episodes later, like, you remember that. What? Do you see that? Wow. Sometimes. Next of next last Succession competes at the Emmys in the drama series category, categories, as you are well aware, having been nominated a few times yourself. As opposed to, of course, the comedy series categories, do you agree with that classification? Yeah, I think so. I think it is a drama. I mean, it's funny, but life is funny. And that's not all a comedy. Yeah, some of the stuff that happens is pretty tragic. You know, all the stuff that Jeremy, you know, as a performer, I had to put himself through the first and second season. Those are not comic things. There's a real dealing with big life moments, you know? And that's he had a different track of experience as well. As characters dealing with something quite different in life, he was dealing with the size of tragedy that magnitude create that needs a different attention, I think. Sure. Well, final question. And I guess this is really ultimately the big one. If shiv is ultimately chosen as a successor, would that make her happy? It would make me happy. I really want you to get to you, I'm going to don't think she's probably very good for it. She's not even enough experience really. I love you, she shouldn't be. But maybe she's with the right mentor, maybe she could maybe Jerry could mentor her and she could really take the company to different direction. She's got the guts to do it. Would I be happy? Yes, would she have be happy? Maybe for a month. You've ever been happy. That's the question. Well, thank you so much and really it's been such a treat to watch the show. I think there's I know you said you guys have been sort of in a bubble for a lot of it. But I can tell you that out in the world, we are obsessed so keep up the great work and thank you again.

"One of those things of like, it's not a bad thing. It can be a very good thing in a business to have to deal with a very hard thing like that in a very public thing because I think how you show up and who you are is it's a good, it's a good challenge, but I'm excited about around the world or sleep for the rest of the year and next year is so exciting. There are so many great things coming out and that keeps me super excited. I don't need to tell you you guys have more streaming competitors now than you ever had before. We see it just in so many different ways, including at the Emmys where there's now a zillion of these other places with stuff. If somebody is got a great idea, somebody's got a great idea, what is the best reason for them to take it to Netflix versus one of your competitors in 2022? So I think there's a lot of great people, a lot of great places that make great shows. And I'd say two things. One, we always want to be a great place to work for talent that they have a vision, and that gets supported and realized. And I do think that is something we talk about and really aspire to every day. I'd say the second thing is, when we make a very good, when we make a great show, the conversation and the cultural zeitgeist, the Netflix can create or has on the platform to a global scale. Is something that uniquely we have been able to do. And just finally, is there anything you can tease about what you were just saying, you know, exciting year or whatever ahead is there a country we should be on the lookout for as the next South Korea or a project that could be your next Stranger Things or whatever. Just anything that you are especially excited about that you want to get some other people excited about. Oh, there's so many exciting things. Okay, I will do a quick rapid fire. So Queen Charlotte, very excited about the watcher from Ryan Murphy, very excited about the lying life of adults in Italy based on Elena ferrante's novel is just exquisite. The emperor is coming from Germany. So good. Oh my God, I could go on and on. There's so many good shows, but what I love and I'm excited about just seeing just amazing storytelling, you know, around the world. And late late next year, we'll have the prequel to or the following soon, the prequel to la Casa de papel, which is Berlin, which I think will please many, many fans. So I just, you know, it's amazing to see. And again, for our members to get storytelling from all over the world with very easy answers. That's a good game too. Eventually, right? And Squid Game too. Yes, the story is so good for this next season. How soon do you think it will be on the service? I don't know yet because director Wong is incredibly talented and incredibly thorough and very, he's going to do, you know, every breath of it. So it'll take a while, but it will definitely be worth it. Well, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And thank you for many. Thank you. Great hours on Netflix. Thank you so much.

I would like to be remembered for making it clear that life itself is show business. Everything about what each of us do, we are performing our lives. And we can make a decision how to perform how to dress. What is the wardrobe? What is the makeup? What is the distribution? What is the financing? You know, we're all doing it every day.

Fox's character on family ties. How she first heard about Friends and why she asked to play Monica instead of Rachel.

"Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the 425th episode of awards Cheddar, The Hollywood Reporter's awards podcast. I'm the host Scott feinberg. And my guest today is an Irish actress who has won widespread acclaim and popularity for her work on screens big and small. She is best known for playing Claire Randall, a World War II era nurse who manages to travel back in time to 1743 Scotland on the stars fantasy series outlander, which debuted in 2014. The 6th season of which will premiere on March 6th, and for which he has received four Golden Globe Award nominations so far. But lately, her industry profile has exploded thanks to her deeply affecting portrait of the matriarch of an Irish family caught in the middle of the troubles in Kenneth Branagh's 2021 film Belfast, for which she was nominated for the best supporting actress Golden Globe Award. Is nominated for the best supporting actress critics choice and sag awards and is widely expected to be nominated for the best supporting actress Academy Award. Katrina balf. Over the course of our conversation, the 42 year old and I discussed how her acting ambitions were sidelined for several years when she became one of the first Irish supermodels and what led her to later revisit them, how she landed her part opposite Sam Heughan on outlander, and what she makes of the rabid fanbase of the show and the series of books by Diana gabaldon, which inspired it. What it was like to essentially play Branagh's own mother in Belfast, and why she thinks the film, which unfolds through the eyes of a young boy modeled on the filmmaker in his youth, has proven to be so moving to so many plus, much more. And so without further ado, let's go.

"You have to talk to the players and talk to the coaches talk to your colleagues. You have to watch the tv copies of the game and watch the The the all twenty two copy of the game and just try to consume as much as possible. And what i do that's best is have conversations get group chats going because that's where the best ideas come up when you're clashing your theories up against other people's series and you can come up with some new thought because that's the most sounding caught i think is if you are really into football. You're into football enough to to watch shows or listen to two. I'm radio shows about football. You're probably also following everyone on twitter and have your own opinion. So it's so hard. Sometimes i think to have some novel thought or to find a way to deliver the information in a fun and entertaining way. That's the challenge. I think going forward is finding ways to bring up new stuff and engaged viewers so it's own going And that's i kind of look forward to it. Honestly when everyone has all information finding a way to make my information a little bit better or a little bit more understandable you're spot on and the approach and you agree with me that one of the most overused and ridiculous phrases in an of sports media is we don't talk enough about all we do this plenty of talk. We talked plenty about. We talk about the titans. We talked about the bucks who talk about the panthers and plenty of everybody talked about. Yeah you're right. I mean to be fair. We probably talked too much about all of this stuff possible to say we don't talk about maybe climate change. We don't talk talk. Talk enough about lamar jackson for mvp. Guess we do. There's entire podcasts. About it yeah. We talked too much about everything. So yeah the judge the the actual thing that we do not talk enough about and if you found that you're not going to say we don't talk enough about it you just gotta drop that idea and then people are going to be like. Wow that's interesting. I liked seeing you talk about some other stuff. Besides football on the espy's red carpet the other night and i hope. Espn continues to find those pockets.

KCRW's Hollywood Breakdown
The Hazards of Making Movies About Real People
"The I'm Kim Masters and this is the Hollywood breakdown joining me as many of the Hollywood reporter and Matt has come up. Many times in Hollywood does what it loves to do which is to make make movies and particularly awards season movies based on real people that controversy follows and we're seeing more or less at the same moment to different controversies sees. One of them involves Clint Eastwood's new movie Richard Jewel. which according to the Hollywood reporter's awards reporter Scott Feinberg up ends the Academy Me Awards race? It's it's GonNa be very very popular. He thinks with hatemi members in numerous categories. I'm assuming that probably includes picture but in this movie Richard Jewel. Joel this is about the security guard who tried to warn about the Olympic Park bombing back in Nineteen ninety-six a real event. He is portrayed in this movie. Of course he. He was excused of having been involved with the bombing. He was completely innocent and his life was M- very damaged by this. But I'll tell you what life is being damaged now day day in this movie have character a woman reporter who Allegedly in the movie sleeps with a source with an FBI source to get a story about about this and this person this real life person whose name is used. Kathy scruggs is dead and cannot speak up. I mean this is an outrageous thing to accuse as a reporter of that is a firing offense as you know if you were to get wind of one of your people at the Hollywood reporter sleeping with the source to get stuff and I will tell you in my life there. There have been occasional offers. But that's not something that real reporters do and the editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution where this person worked is objecting to this and I will just now. This is a Clint Eastwood movie. Clint Eastwood is clearly very conservative. Possibly part of the trump you know the reporters play reporters are fake news world and I honestly Kinda Hope. This becomes the controversy. Because I think it's outrageous. Well it's also part and parcel of the film this. This is an indictment according to the reviews that have come out of both the FBI and the media and how they handled this situation with Richard Jewel. And I don't I don't think anyone is saying that this was the finest moment for either of those institution absolutely not but it does cross the line there to suggest that a reporter did something like this and it's also a trope like you've seen this in other things with sally field. I'll never forget it. I was like well. Paul Newman hard to resist about. We don't do this right and even more recently. If you look at the character in house of cards played by Kate Mara her relationship with Kevin Spacey. Right if you look even Amy Schumer in trainwreck. I mean that was. She was sleeping with the subject of her story. So this is like a trope that comes back and and I am not what a female journalist but I see how deeply offensive this is And also not necessary like you. Don't need it's Lizzie. And let me just turn quickly to this apple premier. You know apple is trying to plunge into this world. It's been a bumpy ride. We've talked about. They have this movie. The banker they were going to have a premier they cancelled it. Why did they cancel it because the son of the subject and the stories about a black man who this is a real story again of who recruited a white man to front for his financial business sixty years ago before the Civil Rights Act? This is a real story. But they have been using this guy. Son is the sky named Bernard Garrett Junior to promote the movie and IT Turns Out Bernard Garrett has a couple of half sisters who say that this guy had sexually molested them for years ears and this has now blown up. It's a different kind of hazard. Apple acquired this film. But when you don't vet things carefully this hazard that can happen. Yeah that's an interesting question because apple bought this movie after it was already made and neither apple nor the filmmakers knew about this controversy until about a week peak before the premiere and obviously the allegations are very specifically time. But now they've got to figure out what to do with this movie. That has this. Explosive allegation dropped their wives. Yeah I mean I just saved. Proceed with caution when you're doing true real life stories and I think it's a cheap out to Take on someone who's dead and can't speak up. Thank you thank

Oscar Best Actress predictions 2019
"But the QNA I did was with Peter hedges the writer and director of Ben is back, which I think we we spoke about after Toronto, which is a movie about the opioid crisis in in particular, one family, dealing with it Lucas hedges. Peter's son plays the afflicted kid where Julia Roberts place, his mom. The movie went over a treat at the festival and Julia was not there. But people I spoke to were very high on her and the movie and its timeliness. And I think it's interesting to talk to people like the vote like the people at Middleburg because I don't think that they're academy voters, although I did talk to some producers and film, you know, people who are who could be, but they represent something of a similar demographic socio-economically, age wise. I think that their passion for that movie. For me moves. Julia Roberts more into the kind of like theoretical five. Yeah. Well. And not to promote a competitor here. But Scott Feinberg does keep a very good list of you know, who's who's in the mix and he's got Julia in his five front runners with Glenn Close Levy Coleman lady Gaga and you'll eats a operates. Yo I mean, it's not a bad list. There's a lot of other great performances, but that doesn't sound right. I wanted to ask you guys the Glenn Close narrative because I know it's something that we've been talking about for a while. But I just I'm curious where exactly this is popping from because her film wasn't exactly like in the heat of the festival circuit. So where where's this glencoe close noise coming from? How did I miss? It will something that I took note of is. We are just entering screener season. Where movies are getting sent out to people. So they can watch at home and don't have to drag themselves to whatever Rb. Gee, I think was the really the first screener that went out, but the second one was the wife, which you know, is the Glenn Close movie, and so they're they're it's in people's consciousness. The other thing is she's winning the big award. Santa Barbara film festival which I believe, you know, later this year or early next year. Globes somewhere in that range. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So like, that's the thing that that's a sign that the industry is keeping that performance in mind. So for whatever reason in premiered at Toronto over a year ago, and then had a kind of quiet
