"I don't want someone else to fuck it up"
Well said
The way I work all my jobs 😂
Ridley Scott lmao
Hearing Denis villenueve cuss caught me off guard
when a director is so confidence about themselves . He is based asf
Denis Villeneuve I think is one of the greatest directors working today. What a track record. Blade Runner 2049 is not only one of the greatest sequels ever made but one of the best science fiction films of the decade in my opinion.
And a huge bomb, just like the first one.. thats all that matters.
I wouldn't go as far as calling it "the best science fiction films of the decade". Mostly, because one of his previous films, arrival, tops blade runner any day of the week!
The Empathy Channel That's subjective. Just like his statement.
@Carlos Saraiva true hes give me jugment cray four yeaes
@@aegisgfx
Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb
so he was willing to sacrifice his career to make this film!!?? One of the best director of all time!! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
I can CLAP all day for this man.
Mr. Villeneuve. Don't worry. You nailed it. We love you.
Blade runner 2049 isnt just the best movie of 2017, is the best continuation ever made & being totally ignored by the awards is a sin
I don't think that it's totally ignored. Deakins may get the best cinematocraphy...
It deserves to win the best picture in oscars imo.
and best visual effects
and best set design
The best continuation ever made is The Godfather 2, blade runner 2049 is definitely the second.
You've seen Toy Story, right?
DENIS VILLENUVE has the best filmography of everybody at this table
facts
chris edouard Del Toro is pretty strong also.
Rohail Sadiq Del Toro? Come on
Antony Díaz Ibargüengoitia i thought pan's labyrinth was great.
Hurry Calls Pan's labyrinth is great but is the only great film from Del Toro. His filmography is very weak compared to Villeneuve.
Incendies alone towers over all the other filmographies.
Sicario, Prisoners... damnn excellent movies
Ridhuan Abu Bakar ARRIVAL, don't forget ARRIVAL
Retro Bruce true.. But that movie gave me headache the first time saw it in theatre haha
Ridhuan Abu Bakar why? Was it too complex?
Retro Bruce yeah. I didnt understand what the movie was trying to tell. Watching it second time only did i know..
Incendies watch it
One of the best movies I'd ever seen.
Do you think it's better than the original?
NYCITY3 I do. The original IMO is not a perfect movie, but what I like in that original film I really liked even more in this new one.
I thought it was a lot better
NYCITY3 YES
Denis Villenueve is a master. Can't wait for his future projects.
Mitchell Powers i hope it’s Dune
He might stay away from spending lots of money on weird sci fic projects now that BR2014 bombed at the box office.
Ofer Mizrahi I hope so too. Hopefully the screenplay is great.
aegisgfx Ya possibly. He has a non sci-fi project in development with Jake Gyllenhaal so that's exciting. I'm in for whatever project he does. He chooses wisely.
just so everybody who replied this comment know this: Denis said no to direct a James Bond movie so he could work on Dune. Pretty sure it will worth the wait!
Denis, Quebec is so proud of you! An incredible filmmaker!
Yes! That’s how you know that person is not canadian. My country, especially quebec, is very secular. There is a clear distinction between state and religion. Religion here is something private that don’t really have a place in public space. And btw, that’s what makes it so great! You are absolutely allowed to be spiritual, you’re just not allowed to hold it over someone else’s head and make laws on religious basis.
2001 is his favorite film?
Love him even more now.
It is my favourite too. But i have a personal connection with star wars and alien. My favourite stanley kubrick movie is 2001 and the shining. Well, don't complain why, but the shining is really great movie.
Can i just say, and IF you agree with me, on the fact that, Denis Villenevue is the Stanley Kubrick of this generation?
@@avanishdutta2658 There will never be another Stanley Kubrick. There was only one.
But I can also say that Denis could be stepping on the stone where Kubrick left off, and that could make Villanueve better than Kubrick would have been today.
Just my opinion.
@@charlesdoeseverything9716 You're right, and Villeneuve is a great director. I hope he goes further in his career. Time to watch Dune. Reviews looking great. Here i come arrakis!!!!!
Blade Runner 2049, the best science fiction movie of the 21st century.
No other SF movie has so thoroughly explored the issues that will be humanity's central concerns over the next 2 decades: overpopulation, pollution, resource scarcity, space travel, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering... And it does so in a beautifully cinematic, thoughtful, and emotional manner. A true masterpiece.
I think Children of Men and Snow Piercer would like to have a word with you.
Good picks :) although I admit I haven't actually seen Snowpiercer yet lol :S, I really enjoyed The Host though. I love Children of Men too but I definitely prefer BR 2049 over it.
Texus8 Definitely treat yourself to Snow Piercer and Okja.
The 1982 Blade Runner has way more depth to it by far, the film also has a strong mood to it visually and musically making it a strong what I call "experience film".
@@xvs8675 so you like bong? Well guess what..
In so glad 2049 exceeded my expectations and knowing how passionate Denis was towards his vision. Seen it in the theater twice and definitely will own it on bluray!
Same!!! Wonderful movie
I could only watch it in theatres once, but I'm gonna devour that blu ray
denis really loves his actors, and you could see just how much that translates in all his films!
Such a genious..
HrTjernobyl yeah
My favorite french guy. Amazing film.
Fuckers at Disney need this guy for a Star Wars film with full creative control. But still, I think no one can save SW now lol
im convinced he is the modern day Kubrick.
Is up to good writers, Arrival literally had no purpose at all and I know people liked it but come on. Blade Runner 2 is amazing for him, if he can continue that quality in at least his next 2 films, he can be considered one of the greats.
best movie of the year
ahmed ali *Shape of Water
Margaretha Falco Shape of Water was good, not Blade Runner 2049 good.
It looked great, but I wish they had spent way more time coming up with a story I cared about...
decade*
I think people don't understand that this is just a discussion because I keep seeing people say that this person shouldn't be here or they forgot someone. That doesn't make sense this is just an discussion with these people if you aren't interested in these guests then use the search bar and type in the person you want to see, there are tons of good interviews with filmmakers on youtube I bet the person your interested in has done a few.
lmao exactly. they're acting like their favorite directors were snubbed or something. they don't even think about maybe their favorites are busy and can't make the filming and photoshoot.
Blade Runner 2049 is the best film of the year! Hands down!!! Denis Villeneuve is a director who understands cinema, and turns it into art.
Can't get over how unbelievably good this guys track record is. Literally 4 bonafide masterpieces in a row, incredible.
Blade Runner 2049 is a majestic movie. The work put in it is flabbergasting and when Rachel comes back to life i cried. It's a neptunian travel in time.
I would say his biggest quality is that He knows how to pace a movie. You know, he can make a movie around 3 hours and it won't bore you. I have seen that quality in very few directors, maybe Michael Mann and Kurosawa. I have never really liked movies that are 90 minutes long as much as I like longer movies.
Rohit Kumar Pacing is his biggest issue, how you came to such a conclusion? The only fault I find in him is the pacing. (Even though Arrival and Sicario had good pacing)
I haven't seen BR49. But critics are saying that the film has pacing issues.
Binoj George and critics are always right, eh? (Sees 87 metascore for Star Wars: The Last Jedi), nevermind, I take that back!
That’s what I loved about blade runner 2049 even though the pacing was incredibly slow but that’s what makes it such a beautiful film in my opinion most people might not agree but I don’t fucking care
Also I don’t have a problem with long movies that have a slow pacing as long as it has a really good and interesting story
Ps: sorry if I was acting like a nerd I just love cinema
Well said I agree
Villeneuve directing dune will be amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This man’s passion for what he does is something to be highly respected.
Pure love of cinema and passion will always triumph over commercial success
YES!!!🎉🎉🎉
0:38 - Ohhh that sweet sweet triumphant moment of Galloway TRYING TO INTERRUPT AS USUAL and Villeneuve just KEEPS. TALKING. LIKE. A. BOSS.
I don't watch these snippets, waiting for the whole thing. but can't wait to see this glorious moment!
You realize it wasn't Galloway who interrupted him right? Watch again, it was Joe Wright...
@@gunguy999 lol exactly
This man is incredible
You could tell Ford was really proud of the movie during the press junket. Usually he's on autopilot but he seemed truly engaged in every interview I saw.
johnulcer while he does give the first film a hard time because its production was so troublesome he credits it as one of the best films he’s done and I’m glad he feels that way about 2049
If they don't give the movie a fucking award...
I agree. Well it will win a lot of awards, i'm sure of it, but when it comes to the Oscars, we'll have to wait and see. Speaking of which, when it comes to the Oscars, Stanley Kubrick didn't get much love either. He won 1 Oscar... For special effects on 2001... The maybe best director of all time, wins 1 Oscar, for special effects... Let that sink in. xD
Yeah i don't really take the Oscars that seriously anymore. It's circlejerking.
But if anything, Blade Runner 2049 must win best cinematography, or else there is no justice in the world, and the movie must at least be nominated for best director, best production design and best supporting actress (Sylvia Hoeks).
Yes, Cinematography is a MUST!
Erin Lim We riot!
Cinematography for sure. Best picture and best director i hope so, but it's less certain.
I loved every single aspect of 2049. Truly a deeply moving film.
bladerunner 2049 is hands down the best movie of the decade
He did an awesome job... it does come out of love. People like Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams should learn from this guy before trying to revive a franchise... hats off to Denis Vullenueve!
S Oropeza RJ does his films out of love too he doesn’t just have a film come out every year with little to show for it. He takes the time to write and steer all films he does. Star Wars was the biggest jump st it career move for him because know he can do bigger projects he would feel comfortable with just like Denis. They have great filmographies before making the jump to big budget land. Some may not like TLJ but I think he set some new fresh ground in what was getting stale
I do not agree with you. Rian Johnson demonstrated his incompetence to handle something like Star Wars. He sold to the mouse and made a really stupid movie that had no sense, plot and even less respect for Irving Keshner's legacy. I read an accurate description somewhere saying "Blowing up shit and killing everyone is easy, Johnson didn't even try to make anything fresh or transcendant". I am sorry, but fan or no fan, TLJ is a very very stupid movie and makes EP I-III look like good movies... Denis is in another league completeley!
Incredible Movie. I love it so much.
"I didn't want someone else to fuck it up"
This guy is a legend who put his heart into the movies
He killed it, 2049 is a masterpiece of filmmaking and a love letter to the original
An overlooked gem - incredible cinematography throughout, too.
Banned from society? Denis Villeneuve directed one of the best sequels ever. Blade Runner 2049 is fantastic. It's was truly made by the true love of cinema. Look at his filmography > Sicario, Arrival, Prissoners, Enemy etc. This man is in the zone of success. He wants to direct Dune... go for it !
Every moment in the film shows it was all for the love of it
Denis is correct about Harrison's enthusiasm. I know people joke about him phoning it in on a lot of his recent movies, but I could tell he was giving a real effort in this.
This guy's portfolio is like a war hero's medal collection.
FINALLY!!!!!! STEPHEN IS SILENT
Blade Runner 2049 should have been nominated and won for Best Picture
"A camel is a horse designed by a committee" Ricky Gervais I get this sense when I try and sit through most SFX shoot-em-up motion-capture nowadays (camels), but Blade Runner 2049 was a gem... a rare treasure, I really expected it to be a poor shadow of its predecessor, but this was clearly made with passion. I work as an artist, and I cannot even start a project if my heart is not in it... respect to Denis Villeneuve... a true artist. A truly breathtaking film. CONFESSION: At two points in the film I was already so into it with the visuals literally sweeping me up, then the music just brushed past as if to underline my mood and I welled up like a baby... BRAVO. Thats a first for me. 🏆
Denis Villeneuve is a great director.
Finally someone stepping aside from the business for the sake of art! Doing cinema for the love of a good story. Unbelievable, amazing in so many levels. Bravo! A man among the eunuchs.
Great director... incredible work in cinema history.. especially blade runner 2049........
I loved Bladerunner 2049.....Thank you for doing such a good job!!!!!!!!!
"2049" is my favorite, best mixed, original music score of the 2017 year. Awesome.
His style is so minimalist Japanese, I felt that Kurosawa was watching over the entire film.
I wonder who that actor was that Denis struggled with?
We want to see the whole video please
They usually release the entire video of this kind during the appropriate OSCAR season. So in a couple of month or less.
Blade runner 2049 deserves far more nomiantions than its been getting.
best movie 2017 and an instant classic, and i mean really!
I will never forget the night when I saw that masterpiece, all the feelings, was a revelation...
I really think Blade Runner 2049 will have an influence on future sci fi, just like the original did.
Just another random person on the Internet That shot of K walking into nothingness in the desert will become an icon for decades to come. Trust me.
Miguel Pereira The shot of K and Joi in the rain, Deckard's basement and all the shots of K walking around the streets LA are worthy of being in a museum.
Just another random person on the Internet Yeah that shot of K and Joi the balance of the colors, the lighting like oh shit I wish I could see this film in theatres again haha.
I think that the overall aesthetic of the original film is better, but this film has more memorable and better conposed individual shots
I'm already influenced by it in my writing. It really is the best film of the last decade for me.
Edit: Interstellar and it our actually tied in this I think.
Film of the year!!
If this guy can direct impossible movies like Blade Runner 2049, he could adapt Akira.
He’s an intense person. He gets overexcited as he talks and it comes off as honest and intimate immediately.
Due to how the Academy Awards work I think it will be nominated for best picture. But honestly it is so insanely excellent it should win every award. Other than acting I can't think of a single movie last year that did anything as good as Blade Runner 2049.
I feel very bad for missing this movie in theaters will definitely get the blu-ray. Sorry Denis
Why is Patty Jenkins staring down my man Denis?
Maybe because his film got criticism regarding the portrayal of women but who gives a fuck, Blade Runner 2049 shits on Wonder Woman in every single way.
“What is cinema?” Villeneuve continued. “Cinema is a mirror on society. ‘Blade Runner’ is not about tomorrow; it’s about today. And I’m sorry, but the world is not kind on women.” He also adds that his film is a “dystopian vision of today” that “magnifies all the faults. That’s what I’ll say about that.”
(Sauce: www.indiewire.com/2017/11/blade-runner-2049-female-characters-denis-villeneuve-1201900895/ )
@@vbgggfff m_therf_cker, Jankins's first film was Monster, which has a more fucked up portrayal of women than you can imagine in your worst dreams. Just because she's made a summer blockbuster for all ages doesn't mean she thinks the world is sunshine and rainbows.
@@antona.1327
1. Why do you think I haven't seen Monster?
2. Why do you think I believe she thinks the world is sunshine and rainbows?
3. Blade Runner 2049 and Dennis Villeneuve's work is better than anything Patty Jenkins has ever done and based on her previous work anything that she will ever do.
4. The least she can do when she is in the presence of one of the 2010's greatest living directors is to put a smile on her face or something, not a condescending scowl.
Dennis I hope you get this, sir blade runner is awesome I cry. 1982 I saw the first one, I was 14 now at 50 I see this one and sir you did it you have made a master piece.......if you ever need a replicant for your service am yours......
Stephen is awesome so far this year! No interrupting whatsoever! And Denis is just awesome, love that guy!
The only competent directors on this table are Guillermo, Denis, Gerwig and Wright
The greatest director working in Hollywood, certainly the best of his generation.
I wish they would release these the other way around... put the full discussion online first, and then put out a few smaller edits a bit later for those with limited time or interest.
It kinda ruins the main event, fast-forwarding through bits we've already seen.
"making peace " is something alot of denis' characters deal with in his movies .
Rian Johnson should learn with Denis how to make a decent sequel to a beloved story
Diogo Neves well I guess if you consider breaking bad season 6 a sequel....
@Carlos Saraiva srry to say, but the two latest jedi were trash
@Carlos Saraiva What kind of argument is this man lol 🤣. I could flip your script and say the same. The force awakens was better than the last jedi. Intriguing, common sense, better story plot, interesting questions , novelty, less gimmicks, characters made sense, even special effects were way nicer.
@Carlos Saraiva and movies are an escape from the real life. To enjoy and feel emotions that we may not feel in our day-to-day.
Movies are not supposed to be wtf moments or a feeling like a waste of time. The last jedi and Solo were not up to par to standards we are accustomed to from this serie. They were trash. Could have been better, but w/e now.
@Carlos Saraiva Directors can do whatever they want with a movie that does not have an history. Don't try to change the whole thing to suit you view without following what was already done in the past. You can always add your touch, but just don't do some 180 degreesi change. The force awakens was nice because it could start anew with a bit of follow up. The last jedi had to follow some sense from the old ones because it used characters and part from old. It did not add and, in addition, it added nonsensical scenes. Don't change for the sake of change.
Pure love for Denis Villeneuve I love his movie 💜
Love Denis Villeneuve ❤
mysterio, thanos, kurt and drax the destroyer are frequent collaborator of villeneuve just like batman, alfred, bane, scarecrow, talia al'chul, hercules poirot and catwoman are frequent collaborator of nolan
Best director of the modern age of cinema and with time possibly the best of all time
my favourite movie ever and my favourite director
He did a great job, he is currently one of the best of his era.
3:10 I want to know who's that artist that was wrong in Blade Runner.
wouldn’t it be amazing to see Denis Villeneuve do a horror movie that is a hybrid of David Cronenberg David Fincher and David Lynch
One of the most impressive sequels ever made.
Mr. Denis Villeneuve thank you for this movie! It was an amazing experience and I never felt anything like this before while watching a movie
I just love this movie. A real sequel to Blade Runner. URRA!
U did it justice!
mysterio, thanos, kurt and drax the destroyer are frequent collaborator of denis
I watch this film about five times per week. I have almost every line memorized yet it still gets better each time.
I thought I was a bit obsessed with my 8 viewings damn
He did an excellent job. Incredible film.
He has to win
biomez why so sure?
Win what? Do people think these roundtables are connected to the oscars or something? They aren't btw it's just a roundtable interview.
I'm gonna guess that lady bird will win.
We love you dennis
I wonder what actor and what scene that failed his expectation in "Blade Runner 2049"?
Louis Davies was looking for someone to bring this up. I'm curious about that too.
My guess is Leto
Maybe the guy that shows K around the archive before Luv takes over?
I'm really struggling to think of weak links in this movie.
Anybody knows which actor he was referring to when he said he had trouble with them?
Anything this man makes is a masterpiece. Looking forward to see his take on Dune!
Angelina is so BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
Hall Network No
Ofer Mizrahi Yes
I like movies the same as I like my music. Imperfect. As a director. He knew the flaws in Blade runner. He added his own in 2049 .Awesome.
GREATEST FILM EVER MADE.
If this movie doesn’t win ANY type of award ima be mad as shit
I love this movie even more because very little people know about and have seen it
Denis Villeneuve is the new Martin Scorsese
Denis, you made the best movie of the year.
I was shocked at how well it was made.
The video is about Denis and you put Patty Jenkins on the miniature. Cmon
Why Angelina Jolie? I mean, there were better movies this year with better direction like Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri, Dunkirk or Call me by your name.
yea chris nolan wanted to be in this so bad but they were like no man you're not good enuff. don't quit your day job pal.
Sai Rohit Her movie can’t be compared to theirs because it’s a foreign movie! And it’s been nominated for golden globe in that category. So I’m not sure what you’re on about
Marcel Mansour can you stfu bro? You know nothing about filmmaking, just throwing overused words around to describe everything. 2049 is nowhere near a masterpiece. Its ideas have been done before and the storytelling could've been a lot better. It's not in the same class as the original, which is a masterpiece. WW was average, and just because there are vaginas involved that doesn't mean it's any better otherwise. The acting was awful at times and the ending was generic. Gerwig made a great movie, the script was nearly flawless, but the movie played it very safe and felt very preachy/agenda-driven at times. The movie was an outstandingly-acted cliche.
I just gave an opinion. I don’t mean to offend anyone here. I respect all these filmmakers and love what they do. Its just that I felt Angelina Jolie seemed like an outsider amongst the other filmmakers.
Marcel Mansour so now I need to find a hobby? Why, because I just made you eat my shit? lol
What a lad.
Not having Chris Nolan there is a crime
Good jesus that outro is getting on my nerves.
thank you
thanks for watching
thank you for watching the hallewud reporta!

this cliche of every guest repeating the same thing into the camera is the dumbest thing ever created.
