or like devices present, dw used on instagram, and the no follow up the i go back on everything of a dot scope every day i still use it. i'm upstairs right now, production design of planning. well doing in 3 weeks time. right, right. kathleen? gosh, we, well, unfortunately was kind of new. you actually came stuff and such as the have a nice and said he wanted to talk to. they said that in those days when we are supported this great hollywood direct to begin his career, working on tv programs at the b, b. c input. and at the age of 27, he wants his own commercial production company, which very quickly became an international success. his 1st movie,

the cube list stalled, why fi types? how then came the months to hit the alien and the cult classic delayed? while not then came another string of successors thelma and louise starting. susan simon doesn't. gina davis and the young brad pitt's hannibal with anthony hopkins black hole down, which one to us goes, kingdom of heaven with liam neeson and orlando bloom. american gang stood with dental washington robin hood and permits us, but the much always be best remembered for the character of maximus into that da chart which received 5 academy awards including best film and best act uh for russell crowe. this great, hollywood director is ridley scott's kind of pretty conventional childhood in terms of a conventional you know,

time of life. so my dad, when i said was in the army, he was only in the home because of ok. and then attached to the engineers and then eventually got fed closely attached to the planning of what eventually will be called albany hop. on the day, at the end of the wall, i was, i was asked to take all his uniform and put on a suit. and be taken out to jeremy to join in was what was the talent of the marshall plan? what would be called a c, c, g, which is a control commission to jump. so i was going at, jo, mean $947.00. it's not true with a label to talk to my current case. i got lost and we went to live in hamburg, and then 5 foot in the back. and so and then i was sent to school in films house, which is the front of, of the board backs for the note from the baltic command for the boat,

hostage in the navy, as i used to move past 271. so in that we discovered spray plastic, so they'll probably up and down the hop and stay that until right through madison get into signing on school. i i'm misses out cuz every positive because i've been attending school so i had no idea what color was doing. and there's always this expectation of adults where you catch up. you don't, you don't know where the have you are. so the task goes, i have no idea where i was and, but i was in a sanctioning body in school, in stockton cut long story short. the best thing i could do for the was off the house quite special at odds, really and listen. my interest was unusual. on the 10th floor to draw a home didn't go to dances, a kind of sized peculiar,

unless tended to paint all the time. that got me into our school, george, west, west 100. because you up from there, i went to the real cause. now i'm starting to really move because i got an expectation of the fact that i was, i do not, i'm fine us and all the aspects of design my of the section came assume by whatever was local. my photo of, uh, you know, film stuff to look at was a little hollywood cuz that's all that was there was no attendance on it. there are no schools for directors, and i hadn't really thought about how to become a direct. i came out the world comes with a really good, i was a 1st class on a student and got a traveling scholarship. and so i was able to jump into new york for the 1st time. and as well as matter you're resting with yourself. if you're

a painter height, so that was a, was an easy was i? and i felt i was much easier having a tockets and advertising. establish that for me. now 2526. i'm thinking i'm working very, very hard, bbc. i loved them dearly, but after tax obtaining on the $75.00 critically to do live teen outcome. so when i'm doing the television commercial, i'm receiving a 100 pounds of my had it in a day, something providing me wrong here. and for us it within us twice and a phone i say what it just took off. and so i was in visions of advertising. i never thought about it for 1012 years because when you have a good time, you don't know how you doing well. you don't. what do you think about it is only 10

years later it's under as i have done. so the patches possible and i talked to the customer, but i think the best one. okay. and we tracked it down and found that it was on it already being taken so i didn't really know who that was at that point. so that, that so we gotta find something else. so we then found a sketch room, much larger. know which was cool to do this. i've been told because of the j o on hughes and i found a net with got on very well with had written a, a beautiful screen on the doors. you already thought somebody called paul pushed that to the limits almost running dry, couldn't get it going to do this. she could be

a little bit less on the dishes. and so i traveled and i was told to go to san chicago. they loved i to out that met and when i thought he said, but it's not for us. so what he makes, it was movie. so i thought ok, so i flew from chicago to science, we checked into one of the hotels and just picked up the phone stones. that's what i that got so far. i got a little bit of interest and then couldn't get any further on. i have to attend to cost numbers. i have picked up, the phone has to come to help me do. putnam, who it was, is, was the producer. and they went up to canada, had got out of pocket going books. he got adrian mind going houses. right. so i was now absolutely riddled with anxieties,

so i pulled it up. we met nice, was quite surprised to discover so good. and we front of that, he made a call to help me or have somebody said, yes, i want to please somebody, is this how it works. let's see in the doing and how we can connect to the fact that i'm going to be a good idea for everyone i've got. god only knows, but he does use it in preston and that is called fox. they look like a lot, but they didn't know what, how the, how to release it because there's no stylus, it's, you know, it can be perceived as if it isn't not what it wasn't on the check for max. if it's a wash and i watched it fade away pretty quick. well, you know, maybe the enjoyment this really isn't the doing, you know, in the end result. no, not,

not in the aftermath because it's bloody hot. i'm looking at the end of it. i wanted to lose money because it was a competing bone person. i forgot the money because it rang 68 days. so that was another less. and then out of the blue canvas thing cool in the background. i knew exactly what to do because i was kind of edging in towards a bit of heavy metal right. combination by georgia, you know, movies and metals or heading metal. and that's why it 1st became aware movies and um and so i connected. yeah, i mean with most, most that kind of make sense to the extent that i said, as i knew i was going to get and i read the script to add in new media. they want to do it,

which for 530 the afternoon. call 20th century folks. 9 30 in the morning that time said, i love it. i'll do it. was this nonsense that i said, well, somebody else came on and then they said, uh, where are you now? said i'm in london. what can you be here said uh you said to take it off the leave tonight. said, oh, i just want to make it any chase. absolutely not. this is, i know exactly what to do here. looking at the ballpark and no change, no change, they'll look each of these off. i kinda wanna know changes. so let's say what you can tell the 21st conversation. you don't watch on a go project into a development to just she just loved it. i think it was tricky because i didn't, yes, i was coming in with something which was not on the full world and it was an evolution from i as well. i mean, if you need to live here,

but i was influenced by movies. i think i really took on board what he did was completely influenced by everything from the cache because i'm definitely and so it's on me and i think by doing that, but it's my 1st film in hollywood where i want to be raining. wanted to be nice, i want everything to be moody and it just irritated to share me tried to do it, say well that's what i want. at least up to my gum gums and thrash. iowa is a direct to what i be surprised and then so that i'd be involved, but it was not in that direction. so now i'm coming up on assume that i'm going to produce cold some of the lease. and again, i am in the drivers to top 5 tricks, do it in 5,

it's telling me that freedom solve a problem with the limit. so you may have problems with initial appointment. got that movie, said because these women have a voice, a voice, they make you feel comfortable. but that's your problem, not. this is one of those kind of discussions and actually want to access that was be interviewed into an act of set to be what the company says new director . and she might be right, so that i went away and that's what i just said to do it. and then at that moment in time, selma had been the shooting the, the office saying, i want to come, we don't want to do this. and it was a nice you shoes. cleave yet, you know. and then i met with susan, who is, you know, as a novice, may i connect us and louise was born. and out of that,

i think i have probably one of the better times of the making movie me. so the cast bravery, kathleen cash we well. and part of the process was costing us to are we to me doesn't mean anything. what's important is who they are as a person, so when i'm actually anything so far, so i usually talk to him for now. if i mentioned the role, okay, i believe that's one. by the time, once you've done not, you relax and then they know it's play time. you don't actually expand it and therefore they go to that you, they feel free to show you stuff. the testing process was always difficult for me then because i didn't really know who was out. i want to see everybody in the box. i think i saw everybody in america for area and i was i dropped my producers crazy because they were suggesting people firing. i've never

heard of people from television like code or things like that and hiding stuff. so i was really not aware of. but when i met and i loved them. yeah. and then it's going to find a new person. and so going, it was a real fine. she was really impressive. the . and then from the in the casting process, i was again looking at new people and even hash and for to me was kind of new. i knew that ford was now was steven with george during indiana jones. so if i get these to a closing on this guy calling me, i was gonna call and kinda just i guarantee is going to be a stop sign medicine one night. so this year he came into town, let me,

he actually came stuff inside the house. and i said, you wanted a movie. that's our custom to the extent that in those days when 2007, who's harrison ford. i so as far as the guy flying right round space vehicle and let me focus all a sudden bots is going to be in the end of june. so that was good choice. then later on i didn't plan to get to. so that's the next lesson. just when you say you go ahead and go nothing, the my advice has been traveling back and forth back and forth wherever i do. so it takes me about this thing about no fasick. i think i've done full films and most of the big ones in north africa. we did not go down. i did do change of of happen. i did a bunch of lies. i did the 1st i called them in like to flight aids. and was that

when it was still the rest of the quiet place? i go back on everything on the task of every day. i still use it. i'm upstairs right now, production design of planning. what i'm doing in 3 weeks time and it's all about white sheets. of paper testing drawing because the scripts dot com has been fine. and um, uh, so that's a given the actual cost. so now what is the, what's it gonna look like? and i use everything i run every day, ask oh, interesting. okay, and movie and, and, and the way we plan for basis was, before we got the units together and the big got comments i this way to talk to why? so you said you gave me an hour the bunch of recession to the budget, you know, kind of glad to hide my production designer. a and slow digital

artist will sit in the room in my office actually design the whole some of the way it looks before we get to the expense of colleges, suddenly creating it with 300 personal and that's what we did. so we planted that every day was enjoying, but the landscape will be that's where will it be even to designing, looking at the, the way people, what they weigh, what the ship looks like inside the ship is outside. and so we'll go down digital. what today is like photographs, you can look at it as like a photograph of a finished thing and that was the one that was in. it was new, a new direction for me. i really loved doing an update and re engaging with special effects. well my processes are being visual, come from visual direction, visualize will be locked, wrecked. and, and i used to think that because i was always getting criticized into visual and i

realize, well, actually that's what we're dealing with any pictures since. so, you know, eventually i realize that i have the advantage by having an i b and being disadvantage . and consequently, i think it was thought that i neglected to act as a little bit good me because i also operate to operate operate on in to was with a lot to him later on. because in play with those. and you can have lots of that with the union to allow it that i had a great cab crew. so i was very happy, but i thought i'd come back to you can imagine. so operating on that is very important. and that sort of a task doesn't get you that fast, quick and contrary to what people say or because you want the camera, the accent is cut off. that's absolute bullshit. every act to do is if you go you

right, you find something like what is still photographer and you like that i'm talking to, i'm seeing right into houses like that. so i, i start to move all of my own style in terms of how i deal with that is how i wrote this high pulling, pulling into the process. because to be, i think my job is to drive to the way i do it is a township for some of the company and rubbing hot outside. i've tried is e as a bonus and i, i don't bother him with that. i can explain to him that when you walk in this call to see it is only gonna be 40 percent that but we look for the call. so i did identify stories by the story. so it's full scale on the new tractors and then spin around to show the whole arena, which is a pretty novice digital. you know? yeah, that's nice. yeah. she called the mill in not

a he doesn't need to act as a nightstand, not to not to look at it. and the sound that i'm looking at the rest of the set and all of this and the that act. and that will get that out of it on the shipping, the patient is being held in hollywood, gone for the met with keith county. and how can i tell keith was very amenable spot and said he was very fascinated by what that was. one of the character men, keith was more of a cossack laptop, was already able to cross the boundary and say, well, we will come, the accident will come down middle kind of ground on english and houses and still in the street, you know, with scorsese and to narrow,

cuz the whole range of main street and the 1st thing the house it to be on a mortgage, you must be a, is mine. okay. okay. keith, could you just hit the matt season. busy just crunch. attended the general rest of the home today. yes, that will be a bit later. okay. no, we do plan as well. how can i plan as all the option was that going or touched by the by that i know the determination is everything. what you just don't know for that size. so i went out there was 2 weeks quoting, was it 2 months in hollywood waiting? and so what was my introducing introduction to the process in hollywood? you're never going to get a straight answer immediately. and that's part of the process, that's what it is. i need us to, or i'll give it out. that's what i thought was. there's a whole new learning process.

but as soon as i have somebody, i've got everybody in the looking over your shoulder. so now you with the scene feeling the real pressure of what would be a possible sense for us to you, where they have high expectations. and in those days, the budget was only 4200000. but the most valuable thing i did is joy from what i can do with how i story. one of the whole moving 3 weeks that i flew back porch. so especially 2nd, they boards and they said it was and i think the suddenly realized that they had something much bigger here. it costs a bunch of less than $4.00 to $8.00 chunk. so maybe those

types of styles are shrink because they think they felt that the sides fixing some, maybe this stuff and also not being introduced to giga. i don't know this. they've been afraid of being of being that took streaming on the scene. and i say let you talk ears. mean additional talk, a little touch of genius. i'll go and see or talk to the dentist to see what's been met him. he didn't want to do it. what else lie? trouble bringing in by train show was the government to come and buy trinity to live in the part in shipping students and by hand. and he said, this is fine for me. for the most part, i looked at everything because it was all hollywood and the best of it would be james dean with the deed, touching pretty goodness at john wayne. i did, and i adore lessons. i'm going to wash. i doing almost any worse than some great

western standards to there's a seem to be because it was all kind of new and magical. terrific. i never got to see alternative similar to a control coach. and i would be 1957, maybe $56.00. when i suddenly discovered an actual filter, the stand up gas cost so awesome. well that everything way back to some of the i'm not just send the ceiling, all that stuff. but the spring all things. and of course honey, which is the, the business rest is of all types of center and the audio and i had no idea is what i want to do. and i felt a lean, different lean stress on the fantasy kind of did both. you know, great expectations is kind of perfect. so the adults knew

anyone who did, we will see you. good movie. i think they get timesheet. so that's the way i've talked to when you go see rubbish. and i think of the problem today is we're making so many moves we're making will listen ever, ever, ever, ever before? which so it keep this pretty tricky. pretty difficult. so filmmaking and getting thumbs and seats, which i still cause is what i have to do. i got a bunch of slips down. i wanna make sure i put them on seats. so i've got to chat with you. if you're going to bury yourself in your own private attic, lots of and going to go see it. and you know the last that long. so i, i do tend to come from the schools that direction the,

the, the, how to deal with the china. for years it's been a reliable economic partner for germany. recently, it's been turning its back on the west. now it's pushing for a new world. warner turning in once dreamy relationship and some more of the dependency with no easy way out. in the jaws of the dragon. in 15 minutes on the w, the coming 0 sense excels 3 times people have asked stories. not kind items are they feed us conflict doors inside some here.
