Aaron Sorkin Won't Write For TV After Newsroom | TODAY - บันเทิง
I need my Sorkin Tv shows. He needs to have another idea. I need smart, witty, fast paced dialogue and well developed characters. No other writer compares to his genius.
Me too! I would like to see Aaron Sorkin to do more series like West Wing and The Newsroom style series.
He has an idea about a Tv show called Mission to Mars where it's like a grounded Nasa story. Maybe he'll pursue that.
Go see Mollys Game. It's shows Sorkins ability to keep you engrossed as if you're in the game....and i dont even play poker!lol....hes able to keep excitement and interest..well done
I need Sorkin and David E Kelly back on TV
I'd like to see Sorkin write a TV miniseries about a fictional independent investigation of a fictional President.
I love the newsroom, especially how well it is written. It does not dumb down the script and the actors are absolutely brilliant. It pains me that this show is not more popular and has just 3 seasons
I can't believe this show only had 3 seasons. I loved this show. Smart brilliant great acting. I just binged watched all 3 seasons in 3 days.Wow
You took the words right out of my mouth.. I think it was one of the best shows to hit HBO..
More than ever... HBO need to persuade this bloke back to re-boot The Newsroom for 2020... there's so much information for a genius to pick out of this year so far & it's still only March!
Aaron Sorkin is a genius...period!
I loooved the Newsroom, the fast paced dialogues, and fun characters :(
LET ME BE CLEAR: I do not want Sorkin to stop writing TV. That said:
If it's because he's all written out or not being able to handle the pressure of television writing, which he can feel unable to handle, i can understand;
but if it's for the "Internet Girls" and the toxic, cynical douches that seem to abound, don't get discouraged.
Mr. Sorkin,
Please remember that are many of us who respect and admire intelligence, who prefer politics, medicine and journalism to be "elite", than aren't mean and bitchy, who will respect your vision even if they don't agree with you. You can figure out where i'm going with this.
"If you're not it anymore because it's too hard then 'God, Aaron! I don't even want to know you'". (Not quite but, you know what i'm saying)
And ya know, it's interesting to me that if you Google "The Newsroom", ~80% of what you'll find is incredibly negative - not just towards the show, but towards Sorkin himself. With that in mind, he seems like such a humble guy. That may be for show, but at least he has the decency to put on the show rather than puff himself up.
Oh for god sake bring back the newsroom! We need it now more than ever.
The problem with "The Newsroom" was that it wasn't just attacking one "news network", but all of them. Too many only saw Fox News, when Sorkin was really writing about all of them.
+David Welsh yes your right, i use to hate fox news but as time went on and i saw that there a lot wrong with media as a whole, i understand now that CNN reporting is far more dangerous then fox news. Ratingings driven reporting that develops an uneducated voter base is the reason fox news exists. I wish the "newsroom" was a real show because now we need it more then ever. Just look at the current presidential race, where ever this country's going its not the right direction. If i had to choose between canceling fox news or CNN i choose CNN any day of the week, and MSNBC and all this other main stream forms of media deserve the blame to.
OverLordthe 1st, so much sense and fact in only 14 lines. It is so pleasing to find someone with such a balanced mind.
Same to you bro, i always try to stay balanced. i wanted to be a journalist once because i thought i could make a difference but that dream is far gone. and im only 17 dude i have much more to learn
OverLordthe 1st , yeah. Same think with what I went to school for. Politics and bias so saturate too much.
That's not the problem. Fox News messes up ALL THE TIME but CNN and a couple other occasionally messes up, the problem with the show was the producers of HBO :\
I really hope he starts another project. NO ONE develops characters like Aaron. It seems he had a good experience, or at least tolerable with HBO, maybe he can go that route where he has more autonomy. But I'm looking forward to the next Aaron Sorkin masterpiece. Thanks Aaron for your work.
Why is this video hidden? Its obvious. Sorkin is a artist.
so basically he may or may not write for TV again, but you made that title as clickbait. Well played Today, but I'm never clicking on another one of these again
yes you will
He is SO gorgeous. I know that is far from the point, but I've had a massive crush on him for over a decade. He's just.. *swoon.*
Sports Night was AWESOME!
Pity that Aaron never taught the Today Show producer that cutting the volume on the lead in music while the on-screen talent were talking is a brilliant idea!
2022 and here I am still wishing he would make season 4
It’s 2023 and we’re still wishing (also that they would shut up and let Sorkin speak!)
I have just bing watched all 2 1/2 seasons of The Newsroom and it was the best series I have ever seen in over 60 years of watching tv bar none. It was intelligent, witty, smart, topical and insanely well done.
Remember the acn morning show? This.
What a shame. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Can't believe I forgot about studio 60 that was a great show that didn't get a shot
Aaron - please don't give up on writing for TV. It reaches so many people. I think you like that. Your writing reminds me of Paddy Chayefsky work in Network. I hope you will take that as a compliment. I know that you will never see this, but I'm sending this message anyway.
talking about the newsroom on Today. the definition of irony.
In Sorkin We Trust!!!
the newsroom. I will miss you
That was very unsatisfying. Let Aaron Sorkin talk, for goodness sake!
It would be incredible difficult to write a good movie while being too concerned for someones feelings. I wonder if he spoke to Zuckerberg before writing it to at least get his side of the story.
Unfortunately it wasn't a Newsroom interview of Sorkin, but I'll take it.
The Newsroom and The West Wing were freaking brilliant. I loved the banter on the show.
Nothing compares.
Netflix, please take this man and let hin bring his masterpiece again in tv shows pleaseeeeeee
Nolan's long lost twin
What?? I can't think of 2 more different people.
Newsroom was excellent. Was killed off to soon
Am I the only one that enjoyed Studio 60?
Hope not. but i wish they had had better 'skits', most of them were pretty terrible. and the last few episodes fell apart.
Aaron critiquing 16-18 frames is great/
Do a Netflix show!
So he made a netflix movie ✌️
1:07 isn't that the "sorority girl" that was doing asking McAvoy a question during a Q&A session in episode 1?
Ask me again!
Afonso Gomes 1:07 isn't that the "sorority girl" that was doing asking McAvoy a question during a Q&A session in episode 1?
Gram T Yes it is! That's why I said "ask me again!" Search youtube for it :) /watch?v=N5bqAVUkUgw
Afonso Gomes hey i just did what you requested me to do
Gram T lolll just noticed that now :D
I don't agree with this guys politics, but I love his work.
"you are smooth there sore skin"
Ha! Ha! Ha!
He basically said he can't read or see anything he's done - without wanting to fix something!!!!
Anyone's whose done some serious writing for something - which is then for all practical purposes - unchangeable - knows how he feels!!!!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
.
Interesting comments all, .... . . I say honestly that Sorkin's writing is without peer (my opinion, say what you will). I for one am bitterly disappointed at the finalsation of the show, 3 seasons is too short.
I wish you well,... . . love your work,.... . . and wait for your next installment.
TV needs this mans voice
To bad,i will miss his great writing
The problem with THE NEWSROOM was its second season - the one main story arc simply did not work.
Was that an interview?? Geez...
Hail, Ceaser, hail Aaron Sorkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coen Bros. Should reboot the Mario movie
He really shouldn't quit writing for TV. The only medium that is even more powerful than TV shows today are videogames (if done right) and I hardly doubt he'd ever do that :D
We don't get to tell him what to do, and he explains why TV was stressful.
Sorkin is cool.
When American TV is great, it’s truly amazing but so much is dumb downed filler IMO. Mr Sorkin has produced some of the best and challenging TV in my lifetime, which coming from the UK is saying something. The UK is fortunate enough to have the BBC and Channel 4 as conduits for original thoughtful challenging TV without the censorship of advertisers, ratings or , currently, government interference.
LOL
I want Aaron Sorkin to write batman
sorry can't even listen to this , it upsets me so much
Please come back and have Sam Seaborn run for President
None of the drivil today that masks itself as entertainment do not even come close to the writing of this man...
취미. 영어. 애런 소킨.
You really hate to see it.
sorkin stoned 90 percent of his work.....few hits boom idea is born.
What a misinformation heading.
No diversity in his shows and movies.
In other words free of Woke, and its great.
@@lolzlolz102 Its not free of WOKE, its free from reality.
Sorkin is a tragedy, a genius like Da Vinchi who only paints with half the color spectrum. His liberal bias is what prevents him from becoming legendary. .
What bias? He is just looking at the factual world.
Sorkin basically admitting the writing sucked in the newsroom. Decent idea, poorly implemented. Also, Sorkin isn't so much a liberal as an big admirer of "Great Men" (not women, men). His have a religious reverence for "strong male leaders," and think leaders will fix the world, not the public.
