Jon Favreau & Harrison Ford Interview

[@johnmanor5236]

Can't say I have ever seen Ford that much at ease in a "interview". He must have a genuine affection for Jon Favreau - nice to see a more real Harrison Ford.

[@markwestwriter]

Good point, he does seem very comfortable.

[@47imagine]

I think because he's talking with someone he's worked with and respects, and he's not in front of a live studio audience. He also appears in a relatively quiet, comfortable place -- possibly his home, perhaps?

[@CBDuRietz]

Of course it helps that they worked together on Cowboys and Aliens, but Jon Faverau seems to be very good at having people opening up. Check out Table for Five.

[@boketto888]

6 years on and I was just about to make the same comment. Nice to see him relaxed ☺️

[@loganpraz2566]

He probably knows it’s not just an interviewer with shitty questions who asks basic shit, it’s someone who is intelligent in film and the arts, someone he respects (and is a friend of his)

[@iamanisland]

That is THE best interview I have ever seen with Harrison Ford. I had never before seen him this open, jovial and talkative.

[@47imagine]

Harrison is always better when he's talking to someone he knows well and when he's in a comfortable setting with no crowd. And honestly, who can blame him?

[@BillyButcher90]

​@@47imagineThat's me as well! I find it hard opening up with people I've just met unless we find a commonality. Otherwise I'm open with people I know 😊

[@chrismhp]

This, is Harrison Ford when he's comfortable with a friend.

[@jaywilson4520]

What was also so great about the "I know" line was that it closed the smaller arc that had been at play throughout the film: Han trying to get Leia to admit her feelings for him and she just wouldn't, until that last moment before he was frozen. That line was like, "Finally!"

[@StrikerEureka85]

weird seeing harrison this personable. he normally doesnt enjoy interviews

[@migalorsdarwin1930]

Jon Favreau is the director of Cowboys vs. Aliens were Harison is playing a part in. The only weird thing is that Jon Favreau did the Interview .

[@andreiadeandrade9608]

The only interview that l've seen with Harrison Ford, and he enjoyed and smiled too much, was with the brazilian actress Bruna Lombardi in 1992. It called Gente de Expressao Harrison Ford. I think this video interview is on KZbin !

[@mcblaze1968]

Favreau seems to know how to bring you out. Great interview.

[@stevenotjackramsey]

He's really mellowed compared to interviews conducted in the 80s and 90s.

[@Linda-n5r8p]

Harrison usually hates doing TV interviews, but he is so witty. I enjoy listening to what he has to say about his movies.

[@47imagine]

For those who don't get the sarcasm, Harrison did NOT come up with the Ewoks or the voiceover in Blade Runner. In fact, I believe he's stated publicly his distaste for both.

[@shaanp9796]

47imagine Thanks. I didn’t realize that.

[@moo5360]

The Solo line is a classic example of when Lucas was whiling or begrudgingly acceptable of collaboration and criticism. Lucas is truly a creative force but he does require others to channel and refine his ideas. I feel by the late 90's he was surrounded by Yes men.

[@rebecamugwort862]

Cybopath 0.0 I can see that. Personally I did enjoy the prequels, but they could have sooo much better with just a tad of conservative criticism. Think of how much better they Would have been had the actors written the dialogue.

[@Lowlandlord]

A lot of the Star Wars lore Lucas had nothing to do with. AEG, a company that made pen and paper RPGs, did more to flesh out the different alien races, planets and nitty gritty elements than Lucas ever did. Most of the Old Republic stuff was fleshed out by Dark Horse comics and novels. Most of that stuff goes back to the '80s, by the '90s Lucas had little to do with ongoing Star Wars properties, then he did the re-releases and then the prequels. Fair to say that if the RPGs, comics, games and novels (the novels being the most successful and popular, many were New York Times Best Sellers) were not so successful and did not add so much then he may have not decided to re-release the movies in the '90s and have a new generation of fans.

[@KnightLord77]

Well said, Cybopath 0.0!! I've said something very similar to my family about Lucas not being open to criticism in the prequels was one of their major downfalls. Even though I enjoyed *some* aspects of them, imagine how good they could've been!!

[@CadillacJak]

I wish this was an hour longer

[@sunstudiosyoutube]

Such a great rapport and fluidity. You never seen Harrison open up like this. I would love Favreau to do a retrospective with him; especially in regards to the the Indy films.

[@kennyjames4679]

A little late to this, but you can see here why Favreau is such a good creator. I'm a huge Ford fan and he's usually kind of quiet and distant in interviews but Favreau had him talking like they were best friends. Great interview.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Harrison Ford's the man! He's so cool!

[@dougieladd]

That's the most dynamic I've seen HF in an interview :) Great chat!

[@Auntie67]

Wow, that's fantastic, I absolutely love it. Harrison Ford is adorable in this interview.

[@koalasarah]

I love this interview. Thanks for posting.

[@MichaelBehrnsMiller]

John Favreau, genius, unearthing Harrison's genius, keeping the human element in an otherwise strictly technical geeky world. Nice. +1 for the Sam Rockwell and Richard Dreyfuss references

[@MichaelSTaylor]

This is the best interview of Harrison Ford I've ever seen. Honorable mentions go to the blade runner press tour with Ryan gosling, and Conan O'Brien's interviews throughout the years. Great upload, thanks!

[@DelightLovesMovies]

This is the best Harrison Ford interview.

[@tylerthompson1842]

“You want your bad asses to be bad ass till the end” fckin A

[@245-TRIOXIN]

He's definitely more comfortable/relaxed around people he knows.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

As people always are

[@245-TRIOXIN]

@@pontiacGXPfan Agreed.

[@DavisSchulz]

really awesome interview :)

[@Tr3oX]

Just a good conversation.

[@Chertoff88]

This is the only time I've ever seen Ford look comfortable in a interview and genuinely laugh

[@37654]

When is the 4K for this movie coming

[@Jezidka]

he has a great laugh

[@cindyolsen3451]

This is gorgeous. Thank you.

[@yrebrac]

Comments on CGI in Cowboys and Aliens are spot on. That's a fairly underrated film IMO.

[@brettfire83]

How have I never seen this? I can't recall Ford being this open talking about Star Wars.

[@adelewilkinsonmusic]

Just some cool banter!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

The First Harrison Ford movie I've ever seen in my life was Air Force One

[@tomada36]

I didn't know that these guys made a movie together

[@antonymoura2000]

What a wonderful interview!

[@gtrrs71]

No ball left unbusted.

[@jonboy8181]

I’ve never seen Ford so relaxed during a interview.

[@SoreEyeMusic]

Harrisons voice right here sounds like he could have a little Bruce Wayne/Batman in there xD Harrison will be Batman, Hamill will be the Joker!

[@hyperslothradio]

+Mad Dek I would LOVE to see that if only as a lark in an SNL skit hosted by one of those two guys. Brilliant idea.

[@devarodgers4676]

brillent

[@SpicyReplays]

great interview

[@budguesor9222]

Directing. Writing. Acting. Interviewing. Favreau is a man of many trades

[@stephaniejaniczekssmugglerscan]

I love this so much! Harry is so cool. Jons like us… happy. A fan here! OMG riding! This is such a great conversation!!

[@xxwantedxx]

john favreau is awesome!

[@ingridwheeler3180]

Favreau is the best director; loved his "Chef" movie too.

[@gabrielmorse9306]

This is fantastic. It should’ve been an hour minimum.

[@beavis8020]

Paz Vizsla and Han Solo 25 ABY

[@kumrijelimani7410]

❤

[@jaguar448]

Anyone know what movie they’re talking about? Not the Leia scene, but the one that Favreau is referencing working on.

[@mr6johnclark]

9/10 years later Jon Made Mandalorian for Lucasfilms.

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

Imagine the Star Wars sequels with Favreau in the chair and at the writing desk. I'm sure many of us do that. Han Solo would be entirely different, but probably dead anyway. We could at least bank on the idea that all of them in the Falcon would've ended up together again to save the galaxy. Just that one shot that we were robbed of.

[@cameron1975williams]

Harrison Ford, a guy in his late 60's here, nails why misuse of CGI can ruin a movie.

[@37654]

And 12 years before it even really became obvious

[@stevenotjackramsey]

So this conversation is clearly based on their time together making Cowboys vs. Aliens. Why hasn't Harrison Ford been in a Western for crying out loud? It seems like a genre made for him.

[@AirwolfArchive]

He has. One of his first films. 🙄

[@alexasoundzen7600]

he has done a few appearances in westerns on tv series and the movie comedy FRISCO KID - a little gem as big heart Tommy ;) - cowboys and aliens was dumb imo not bad acting, just a dumb script

[@oledevo]

That's so cute... they're talking about 3D.

[@ThomasFerrugia]

@ 10:01 - Amen brother!

[@sydneylee8612]

richard dreyfuss as Hans Solo? What the....

[@Yebi263]

Favreau doesnt seem to suck up and I guess thats why Mr. Ford likes him

[@gingrr666]

I saw Cowboys & Aliens in the cinema in London and the bit where HF comes out of the cave, the shot looks just like..... I said out loud in the theatre, "Run, Indy, Run!" which got a big laugh.

[@EuanH91]

I'd have thrown my drink at your head

[@athenare313]

@@EuanH91 😂😂😂😂funny

[@sydneylee8612]

I have no idea what there talking about, Indiana Jones?

[@Kilroy_5150]

I was just going to ask, "How is it that Harrison seems so comfortable?" Generally he's kinda wound and you really aren't sure if he's going to say something funny or something that might throw you. If i had to take a scientific guess. I would say, at some point, these two guys went drinking together and that's why they're so comfortable. Call it a hunch.

[@47imagine]

I'd say two reasons: 1) they just finished working on a movie together and know each other well and 2) there's no studio audience and pressure to "please the crowd." This could be filmed in Harrison's house, for all we know.

[@noahstrodtman6121]

The VOICEOVER From BLADERUNNER damn that got me too harrison fuck

[@sydneylee8612]

Cowboys and Aliens right, never seen it.

[@ADDISON857]

Like very this Man💕it was really charming 🙏Star Wars ... not my style cinema, but I’m Seeing all’s Under with Harisson🤷‍♀️suivre une interview... tout en Anglais... is difficult for me, French Girl🤷‍♀️si bien que je ne sais ce qu’ils se racontent... mais ce doit être plaisant, puisqu’ils ont de bons « FOUS-RIRE »STitres Français, please👍Thank so much, It’s great, kiss and like Harisson, long LIFE 2021🙏💕💋

[@bt8593]

10:31

[@37654]

10:29 to be precise

[@reesebn38]

Harrison was wrong about Richard Dreyfuss. I heard George say Richard was going to be the voice of C3P0, but after hearing Anthony Danials performance on set George went with him.

[@sydneylee8612]

That’s his boss, that’s why he’s calm.😉

[@tomgebarowski8156]

Maybe these two need to work together now. Ford is due to debut as Gen. Ross in MCU, Favreau needs to direct him in it.

[@yirguez8895]

Very upbeat Harrison Ford, yloapproved

[@MrTonycoughlan]

I’m still conflicted about Cowboys & Aliens

[@jasonkesser]

Shit. That was good hahaha. It’s rare to see Harrison, if you notice, with his guard down like this, not tryin to own. They’re both great.

[@spetro3387]

I also agree that it is very annoying how Favreau keeps interrupting Harrison.

[@rainbowsalads]

+Sam Petrocelli More like constantly talking over.

[@jaywilson4520]

I didn't think so. It felt real natural, like two buddies chatting. I loved their rapport.

[@juliasharon5337]

he is a new yorker- thats a conversation to us-

[@jinxler]

Ford clearly didn't mind too much anyways so give him a break and enjoy the interview

[@NazriB]

I heard that Jon Favreau tried to imitate Bret Hart by wrestling at the basement.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Man Jon Favreau must be pinching himself!

[@Hal09i]

Seems to me that Favreau wouldn't shut up and stop talking over his guest...

[@timsgta]

I think more men should get ear rings so the ones without them would look better!

[@beingsshepherd]

Don't like Favreau's slick, superficial persona in this context.

[@albuslee4831]

Jon Favreau so small !

[@thetomschaeffer]

lack of human scale is why i don't watch the newer superhero movies, with the exception of the Dark Knight series - completely unrelatable in terms of building damage, etc..

[@DrMcMoist]

This is all fine and well but Harrison needs to ensure he doesn't wander into Jon's zone of influence.

[@robvangessel3766]

A good thing these two are colleagues, because Favreau - perhaps because he doesn't do it much - is a terrible interviewer, as he interrupts or talks over Harrison constantly. I suppose many of us do that when talking with friends, but it's annoying for audience listeners.

[@DubitatMike]

Harrison Ford is gifted the other guy is NOT.

[@jesseowenvillamor6348]

Jon Favreau is a gifted director.

[@ryant3600]

huh? The other guy is a gifted director, producer and writer. He gave us Iron Man which then gave us the entire MCU movies, The Mandalorian and many other good films.

[@37654]

@@ryant3600 yeah, looking back, those are not exactly masterpieces.
