the environment is not responsible make up your own mind. dw, made full minds. the everything other thoughts go. every day i still use it. i'm upstairs right now, production design of planning. what i'm doing in 3 weeks time. a castleberry right . kathleen, cash we well. even have some thoughts neighbors. you. you actually came stuff and such as the have a nice and said he wanted to talk to. they said that can those 2 twin set? who's our support? this great hollywood direct to begin his career, working on tv programs at the bbc in britain. at the age of 27, he wrote his own commercial production company, which very quickly became an international success. his 1st movie,

the julius stalled high for you types. how then came the monks to hit the alien and the cult classic? later on, then came another string of successors. thelma and louise starring susan sat under gina davis and a young friend pitts. hannibal with anthony hopkins black hole down, which one to us goes, kingdom of heaven with liam neeson and orlando bloom. american gang stay with dental washington. robin hood and permits us. be much always be pest remembered for the character of maximus in colorado which were saved 5 academy awards, including best film and best actor for russell crowe. this great, hollywood director is ridley scott's. i had a pretty conventional childhood in terms of a conventional you know,

family life. so my dad, when i seems in the army, he was only the only because the vocal and then attached to the engineers and then eventually got fed closely attached to the planning. what that meant, she would be calling on behalf of the day at the end of the wall, i was i was asked to take all his uniform and put other suits and be taken out to jeremy to join in was what was the talent of the marshall plan what we call the ccg, which is a control commission. so i was going out to show me 47, not true with a label attached to my car in case that got lost. and we went to lift in handbook and then fax it in the back. and so and then i was sent to school in films house, which is the front of the board backs for the note for 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 go down the hall and then stay that until right through my should get into a certain amount of school. i'm missing out because ever passive until sunday, cuz i've been attending school so i had no idea what color was doing and there's always this expectation of and also where you catch up. you don't even know where the have you are. so the task was, i have no idea what i was doing, but i was in the sanctioning body in school in stockton cut, long story short. the best thing i could do for the results that was quite special . ok, really? and was my interest was unusual on the side of things to draw out of how didn't go to dances,

kind of science peculiar and us tentative paint all the time that got me into the hospital. so it was the worst part of the call dropped from there. i went to the royal college, mom, and now i'm starting to really move because i got an expectation of the fact that i last night doing fine us and all the aspects of design my session came assume by whatever was local. my father of uh, you know, film stuff to look at was all hollywood cuz that's all that was there was no attendance on there. no schools for directors. and i hadn't really thought about that at the idea of 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 travel scholarship. and so i was able to jump into new york for the

1st time. and at the word of mouth, you're resting with yourself. if you're a painter i. so that was, i was on easy with that and i felt i was much easier having a tockets and advertising. establish that for me not 20. 526. i'm thinking i'm working very, very hard, bbc. i love them dearly, but after tax i'm taking on sunday if i could at least a day like teen kafka and michelle. when i'm doing the television commercial, i'm receiving a 100 pounds of my head and a something provided me wrong here. and i phone i say with and i was 27 and the phone i said it was, well, it just took off. as i saw some visions of advertising. i never thought about 1012 years because when you have a good time, you don't know how you're doing well,

you don't really think about it is only 10 years later it's under as i have done. so the patches of snow and i talked to the doctor, but i think most of it and we tracked it down and found that it was on it already mean taken. i'm a single functional so i didn't really know who that was at that point. so that, that so we got to find something else. so then found a sketch for a much larger know, which was called reduced. i've been told because the j on hughes found a net with got on very well with had written a beautiful screen on the doors. you don't worry about something called a top. we push that to the limits on what's running dry. couldn't get it going to

do this seems to be a little bit less on the dishes. and so i traveled and i was told to go to san chicago. they loved us. i throughout the met when i got the sense, but it's not for us. so what makes it to me? so i thought okay, so i flew from chicago to los angeles, checked into one of the hotels, i just picked up the phone store. and the got so far, i got a little bit of interest and then couldn't get any further on. i have to attend to cost. i don't take this on us, didn't come to help me didn't. putnam, who it was, is, was the the producer. and they went up to canada and had got a cough and going lucky. i've got a 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. have somebody said, yes, i want to please somebody, it does 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 got, god only knows, but he does juice of impression and that is called fos. they looked like a lot, but they didn't know what to how to, how to release it. because there's no stylus it's, you know, it can be perceived as if it isn't the other sort. it wasn't, all of you know, was very straightforward. you know, now access to west and i watched it fade away pretty quick. well, maybe, you know, maybe the enjoyment this was in the doing, is it not in the end result?

no, 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 on person. i forgot the money because it rings to 68 days. so that was another less. and then out of the blue canvas thing called the big opposite the background. i knew exactly what to do because i was kind of edging into wasn't that heavy metal right? combination by georgia, you know, movies and metals or heading metal. and that's why it 1st became aware of these and, and so i connect and see, i mean with most, most kind of make sense to this extent that i was, i knew i was going to get and i read the script. and in i knew immediately i want to do it,

which for 530 that afternoon called 20 century fox and by the 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 you send me a ticket? i'll be, i'll 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 other, they love the fact i want to know changes. so let's say what you can tell the 21st conversation. you don't watch it on a go project into a development to just just love it. i think it was tricky because i didn't. yes, i was coming in with something which was an audible world and it was an evolution from i as well. i mean, i definitely 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 thoughts 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 the show. me tried to do it say well that's what i want. at least up to my gum gums and trash. i was a director wouldn't be surprised and a good way. and so that i've been involved, but it was not in that direction. so now i'm coming up on assume that i'm going to produce cold some ways. and again, i am in the driver's seat taught us 5 tricks. do it in 5,

which is totally down freedom. so i've come to the limit. i said you might have problems with initial appointment. got that movie, said because these will not have a voice the voice that make you feel comfortable. but that's your problem, not. this is one of those kind of discussions and, and i actually want to an actress that was be interviewed into an act to set to be what company such as new director. and she might be right, so that i went away and that's what i've said to do it. and then at that moment in time, selma had been disputing the, the office saying, i want to come to you, i want to do this. and that was a nice issues. clearly it, you know, and then i met with susan who is, you know, as a novice, may i connect us and louise was booming. and out of that,

i think i have trouble with a one of the better times that i had making movie me. so the cast very, very carefully. we well, and part of the process when casting is to or awaits me doesn't mean anything. what's important is who they are as a person, so when i'm actually in advance of her, so i usually talk to him for now. if i mention the role, okay, read this one. by the time, once you've done not, you relax and then they know it's play time, you're going to actually expand it and therefore they go to that you, they feel free to show you stuff. the custom process was always difficult for me then because i didn't really know who was out that i want to see everybody in the box. i think i saw everybody in america for alien i was i dropped my producers crazy because they were suggesting people fire. i've never

heard of people from television, right? yes. i called on things like that and hiding stuff. no, i wasn't really 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 nature. she was really impressive. the . and then from that in the casting process, i was again looking at new people and even hash and for to me was kind of new. and i knew that ford was now was steven, with george during the jones. so if i get these to a closing on this guy, calling the other is going to call and try to just i guarantee is going to be a stop sign medicine one night. so this year he came to town, let me,

he actually came stuff, the size of the half the jacket. and i said he wanted the movie, that's our customer to the extent that in those days when people whose house and for i so as before, is the guy flying about round space vehicle in millennium falcon. all a sudden box is going to be in the gym, so that was a good choice. then later on it didn't play to get to. so that's the next lesson. just when you think you've got it, you ain't got 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 faster coming up that full films. and those are the big ones. in north africa, we did the black hole down. i did do change of of happen. i did a body of lies. i did the 1st i called the middle active gladiator. 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 while i'm doing in 3 weeks time and it's all about white sheets of paper testing drawing because the scripts dot go in the cottage being 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 learned every day ask oh, interesting movie. and, and, and the way we planned to meet this was before we got the unit together and they got the comments as well as talk to why. so they said you give me an hour, the bunch of recession to the budget, you know, coming out of glad to hide my production designer a and slow digital artist will sit in that room in my office that

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, so every day was enjoying 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 it's a little drawer that didn't work today is like front of us, you can look at it as like a photograph of the finished thing. and that was one of the most of it was new, a new direction for me. i really loved doing an update and re engaging with special effects. well, my process is always being visual, have come from visual direction, visual angle being locked, right. and. and i used to think that because i was always getting crude,

especially this has been to visual, and i realize, well, actually that's what we're dealing with any pictures. so so, you know, eventually i realized that i had an advantage by having an i b and being disadvantaged. and consequently, i think it was thought that i neglected to act as a little bit good because i also operate to operate operate on in do was for the last term liaison because in play with those. and you can have lots of that with me to the union. without that i had a great camera crew. so i was very happy with what i got when i come back to the legend. so operating on that is very important. i like to have a task doesn't get you that fast, quick and contrary to what people say is because you only have the camera. the accent is cut off. that's absolute bullshit. have you got to do is if you go you

right, you find something like what is the photographer and you like that i'm talking to, i'm seeing right into houses like that. so i, i start to move all my own style in terms of how i deal with that is how i i with us. hi, pulling, pulling into the process. because to be, i think my job is to direct to the way i do. it is a partnership with some of the company in robin hot outside the private e as in boulder. and i, i don't bother him with that. i can explain to him that when you walk in this call to see is only going to be 40 percent that but we look forward to hearing the story. so it's full scale and then you track it. and then that's for spin around who showed the whole reason, which is a pretty none of this digital. you know?

yeah, that's nice. yeah. she called the mill and not he doesn't need to act as a night to, to not to not to look at it. and i'm not looking at the rest of the set and don't listen a lot. look into that act and then a few that out of it will they should be the patient. the screen hopped in hollywood gone for the met with keith county. how can i tell or jesus very amenable spot and said he was very fascinating by what that was with the car to man. keith was more of a caustic, locked up, was already able to cross the boundary and say, well, we work on the accent will come down middle kind of ground on english and, and houses are still in the street. scorsese and to narrow cuz he already the main

street and the 1st thing the house that you don't want to, you must have mine. okay. okay keith, could you just hit the map season. busy just crunch 10 of the rest general rest of the home today. yes, it will be a week later. okay. you want me to plan as well. how can i play and saw a lot of trouble and then they're gone in. and that's why the, that i know the determination is everything. you just don't take no for an hour. so i went out that was 2 weeks quoting was that 2 months and how did waiting. and so what was my introducing introduction to the process in hollywood? and they're going to get a straight answer immediately. and that's part of the process. that's what it is. i need us or i'll give it out. that's what i thought was. there's a whole new learning process once i'm in

the process, but as soon as i get 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 7 for student where they have high expectations. of this, the budget was only 4200000. but the most probable thing i did joy from what i can do. i would tell i story is one of the whole losing 3 weeks that i flew back zable . it's still got especially 2nd they boards and they said it was and i think the suddenly realized that they had something much bigger here because the budget my from 4.2 to 8.2, jump 4000000 dollars styles

actually because they think they felt that the science fiction something maybe the style and also not being introduced to dig it out as they'd be not afraid of the, of being the to extreme. and i'm seeing and i sent lucky a truck eaters me at this moment time little touch of genius. i'll go and see himself to the dentist to switzerland admitted. he didn't want to do it when a sli trouble bringing by train of show was we thought i meant to come and buy trinity in, in the top, and ship industries. and the end of the end, he said this is fine for me and i had no idea what i want to do. and i felt like lean different lean stress on the fantasy kind of did both. you know, great expectations is kind of perfect. so don't know

anyone who does, we will see you. good movie. i think the good time sheet. so that's the way i've talked to when you go see rubbish as i think. so the problem today is that we're making so many moves. we're making more of these before, which so let's keep this pretty tricky. pretty difficult. so, filmmaking i'm getting bones on seats, which are still cause what i have to do. i got a bunch of slips down. i want to make sure i put thumbs on seats. so i've got to tell a good deal if you're going to bury yourself in your own private attic. lots are going to go see it and you're not the last that long. so i, i do tend to come from the schools that direction the,

the, the future we decided here, the india was to take on the can they succeed. the we took out was the indian comic who d w, window cleaner by day. drag queen by not our cell
