I like how Riddley Scott is just talking casually with the rest of them,this dude is a legend,he's made some amazing films

[@daftbanna7202]

amazing films and the martian

Seth rogan looks like he smoked a joint before this and just realised he’s sat next to Riddley Scott 😅

I'm in some weird way so proud of Judd for not only bringing us movies we wouldn't otherwise see but for being such a straight up, straight forward good guy. What a great conversation with a great group of individuals.

Jason Blum had several fascinating tangents. I never knew the guy was so involved.

James De Bello

[@pnshr88]

For reasons of balance there's always one older heavy hitter in the room such as Ridley Scott, Jeff Bridges, Annette Benning, Oliver Stone, Michael Caine, Jeffrey Tabor or Sting . Now the overall outcome of hearing wise ways or otherwise the opposite with a distinguished dog learning new tricks. Iregardless and actually irrelevant to which way the sway may go both become equally interesting and just love the fact this formula is used.

[@pratikgarad]

I wish the same...

[@pratikgarad]

The fact that people are thinking that way is great...

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

I would give David Fincher 10 Billion and give him time to just take us wherever his mind takes him.

[@TCReyes]

Yeah man, that’s the dream. To be rich enough to have your own studio, and then you just throw money at your favorite filmmakers and let them make they want.

[@birlove1471]

This is great .. Seth just transforms the dynamic at these tables and everyone seems more relaxed, friendly and open 😎

[@drago5141]

Yeah, I think having Seth there helps the others not take themselves as seriously and encourages everyone to relax a little and have fun with it.

[@LeeMilby]

1:01:28 "You always have a choice between your ambition and your ego. And you have to be very clear which one you're choosing all the time. Because, it’s really hard not to choose your ego. But it doesn’t work." --Brilliant!!

Enjoyed the excellent interactions between the producers. It was interesting to hear of their histories with one another.

[@ABlackMan9]

I love these roundtables...so much

[@AliIKarimi]

I'm an architect, and its funny watching all these round tables. The directors are like architects, the producers are developers, and the actors are craftsmen

[@martinhankin422]

Superb program, keep them coming

[@kerntoniTV]

very great work by the interviewer to lead the conversation instead of forcing it. once a great conversation you shouldn't suppress it but lead it in certain ways. it's not about the interviewer, but about the people you wanna hear talk. work well done.

[@toluwaniobayanworks]

My favorite roundtable so far. So many gems. Thank you.

[@shamusquinn3891]

Speaking to Eric Fellner's point about the cruciality of a film's final moments: The last five minutes of BLADE RUNNER 2049 are something to behold--a true visual masterwork, and one of my favourite endings to any film in years.

[@minniemouse6501]

I love this moderator, he allows the conversation to evolve and go into interesting places. These roundtables are so intriguing, as they allow the viewer to kind of see the BTS of movie making and the way the industry communicates internally.

[@colinmcmasters5819]

And funnily enough, Ridley explains in this very interview how he ruins that ending with the canon of the reboot.

[@nomadic4130]

This interviewer is much better than the other guy, please keep him!

[@vincevirtua]

This was an excellent round table.

an hour is not enough for them!!! so interesting especially Amy Pascal's work and experiences as producer and former studio head.

[@AlBerto-sm2ob]

This was surprisingly the best roundtable! Their is more insight and experience in this table than any of the actors and directors table. Everyone had valid points, I dont agree with Ridley when it comes to criticism. Journalist do have a duty of reporting but it shouldn't be an attack on someone. When creating art, it can be taken personal if not understood. But in the end Hollywood is a business. If the audience doesn't understand your art, then you can't blame journalists or audiences who voice their critiques. The first Blade Runner was very specific and audiences were split. Even Blade Runner 2049 didn't do well and that was a beautiful movie. Hollywood thrives on 50% creativity but also 50% business savinness.

[@airline45]

HEY HOLLYWOOD REPORTER!! THIS IS WHAT A GOOD PANEL HOST LOOKS LIKE. KEEP THIS GUY. USE HIM FOR ALL FUTURE ROUNDTABLES AND GET RID OF THAT AWFUL HACKJOB YOU USE ON THE OTHER VIDEOS. WE ALL HATE THE OTHER GUY.

[@folarinosibodu]

hey gosh, I just love the camaraderie on this round table especially the fact that Amy Pascal has worked with every single person here being that she was the head of Sony pictures entertainment for a very long time

I still dont know how Jason Blum could still be making movies with that budget.. Im inspired by that mindset of keeping the cost low especially when we're starting out

[@nightrider3067]

I mean its hard not to make a Profit on a 5 million dollar movie budget thats why blumhouse movies are killing it.

Finally, a round-table mix of male and female subjects. I never understood why the Actors/Actresses distinction exists in these roundtables.

seth rogan is criminally underrated in the industry tbh. everyone sees him as this silly goofy guy that just makes comedies and smokes weed but he is incredibly emotionally intelligent and truthful and just straight up about things.

[@omarmagana773]

I have second thoughts on Amy Pascal. I'm glad she's gotten her act together and is taking charge of new bold content!

[@andrenewcomb3708]

With the sound bar on the side of the film is there a way of adjusting volume so that 'the' music can have greater impact via acceptable maestro/conductor? What it means to be human. . .the role modeling . . . expectations.

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Can it be that 'the girls' knew to play him . . . like what happened with Matt Laurer?

[@andrenewcomb3708]

They did it to George Michael also . . . and probably a lot more guys who end up sucking it up.

[@NGBRADLEY1991]

Jason Blum vaguely looks like an older Grant Gutsin (TVs The Flash)

[@bbrown333]

He does!

[@megham11]

Maybe Ridley should start reading critical comments again...

[@blastermaster5009]

I like how Blum called Ridley out for blaming unions for his overinflated budgets. Ridley was so full of crap.

[@daveclark8337]

Get Out was a unicorn. The Black Phone just cost $16 Mil to make and that's with the director and Ethan Hawke agreeing to get paid on the back end. Jordan Poole's latest movie, Nope cost $70 million to make. You can't make Aliens, Blade Runner, Gladiator or The Martian for $5 mil.

[@TravisGunn]

Blum vs Scott 2018

[@SweatDrenchedProductions]

I love Rogen. Just adore him as a creator/man!

[@TNDCBaby]

I think he was more amazed. He was like WTF? How do you do that?

[@TNDCBaby]

Somewhere around minute 6

[@Biring1]

Around 9:30

[@MetallicA7X92]

Jason Blum and Blumhouse make for the most part horror with a very tight crew, production and scope, Get Out takes place in one place primarily and that place is isolated, same goes for their other movies. Ridley Scott have made big production movies since the 80's and he himself says in this video that none of his movies have passed a budget of a $106million(can say that Prometheus is reportedly $130million, though he says $100m in this video, possibly marketing added $30m), but the rest is around or under the $100million mark. No one could make Alien Covenant for a low budget, given the amount of practical effects, locations and sets that Ridley Scott uses, same goes for Prometheus, The Martian, Gladiator etc... Big scale movies needs a high budget. Also Blade Runner 2049, which he produced, it had a $150million budget and it was because of all the practical sets and practical effects had to be built for the film to match the scale and the feel of the original movie.

6:30 After just seeing FastX at my local theater, I was bummed out. The picture quality, and sound were less than what I have at home. We would have waited to watch it at home, but had free movie tickets. This experience reenforced my decision to wait to watch John wick on proper UHD Blu-ray. It would be nice to have to option to download a "non-compressed" version of the movie too. With how big games are, people would be willing to wait for a large download to complete for proper picture quality. KZbin compression is fine most of the time, but not for a "Cinema night."

[@relens2]

I would much rather see a movie in a theater than at home -- it is such a unique and special experience -- but I stopped going over 20 years ago when the experience changed from special to annoying due to a critical mass of the moviegoers behaving in the theater as they probably do at home. That specialness was really impressed upon me when a theater in my town showed a double feature of two old movies: Shane and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. I had seen these two movies only on a TV screen and enjoyed them, but when I saw them in a theater, they were great again. I so miss the theater experience, but what was once a Movie Theater is now just the very large living room of a bunch of your most obnoxious neighbors.
