[00:01:10.160] you again. Very happy to be
[00:01:11.480] >> I didn't know there were any more awards
[00:01:12.680] for you to win, but you recently wrapped
[00:01:15.080] up the big one. Uh earlier this year,
[00:01:17.200] you joined an exclusive club and became
[00:01:18.920] an EGOT winning for producing the
[00:01:20.560] documentary Music by John Williams.
[00:01:23.080] >> Williams, yeah. Congratulations on that.
[00:01:24.600] I assume this the the film, Music by
[00:01:27.440] John Williams, is uh
[00:01:30.200] extra special for you because it's about
[00:01:31.600] you and your long-time collaborator.
[00:01:33.640] There you are.
[00:01:34.400] >> my god, look at that. Look at the
[00:01:35.960] >> Encounters of the Third Kind.
[00:01:37.280] >> Wow.
[00:01:38.251] >> [applause]
[00:01:38.680] >> WOW.
[00:01:43.520] WELL, YEAH, WELL, I I
[00:01:45.480] YEAH, HE'S HE'S one of the most, as you
[00:01:47.640] know, you met him, one of the most
[00:01:49.560] special people I have ever worked with.
[00:01:51.520] He is actually
[00:01:53.440] the greatest collaborator of my entire
[00:01:56.320] professional life. Is he only one who's
[00:01:58.960] done everything?
[00:01:59.600] >> He's done everything. I've had a couple
[00:02:01.160] scores he didn't do
[00:02:03.200] because he was working on Star Wars. He
[00:02:05.479] was working on a couple of those things.
[00:02:07.479] That thing, yeah. Yeah. But he he has
[00:02:10.640] done This is
[00:02:12.680] Disclosure Day is the 30th score he's
[00:02:15.560] written for one of my films. Now, when I
[00:02:18.120] interviewed you earlier
[00:02:19.516] >> [applause]
[00:02:19.680] >> crazy.
[00:02:20.640] It's a beautiful score.
[00:02:22.360] But when I when I interviewed you both
[00:02:24.959] for Fabelmans, I thought that was it. I
[00:02:26.760] thought Fabelmans was the last one.
[00:02:29.160] John thought it was the last one, too.
[00:02:32.360] He did. And he was really happy to
[00:02:34.440] retire. That was going to be it. He was
[00:02:36.200] not going to work for any other
[00:02:37.440] director.
[00:02:38.560] And then I knocked on his door again on
[00:02:40.959] this one and I said I said, "John, I
[00:02:44.120] want you to come back and do this." And
[00:02:45.600] so what John first did was he presented
[00:02:48.000] me with four other composers' names.
[00:02:50.400] You know, he said, "What about What
[00:02:52.000] about these people?" Yes. And I said
[00:02:55.520] "John, you're still writing music?" And
[00:02:57.440] he said, "Yes." "You're still loving
[00:02:59.320] writing?" "Yes."
[00:03:01.360] "Then please write my 30th movie with
[00:03:03.720] you." Wow.
[00:03:04.840] >> did. And he did. It's a great score.
[00:03:06.959] >> for Spielberg is like being in the
[00:03:08.200] mafia. There's no getting out. No. No.
[00:03:10.680] No.
[00:03:11.080] >> No, there's no getting out.
[00:03:12.360] >> him an offer he couldn't refuse. There
[00:03:13.800] you go.
[00:03:15.040] Well,
[00:03:16.360] it's you know,
[00:03:17.920] the film is highly anticipated. It's
[00:03:20.280] I've I've seen it. I don't want to give
[00:03:21.840] away too much obviously because there's
[00:03:23.440] so many wonderful moments in the film.
[00:03:25.560] I've seen it. Very beautiful. I was
[00:03:27.600] deeply moved by it. So many incredible
[00:03:30.239] performances in this. Emily Blunt,
[00:03:31.760] Joshua O'Connor, Eve Hewson, Colman
[00:03:33.519] Domingo, Colin Firth. I I understand
[00:03:37.160] in in this film we have an exclusive
[00:03:38.959] clip here from Disclosure Day. Is there
[00:03:41.200] anything we need to know about this?
[00:03:43.560] The clip Well, you know, the
[00:03:45.320] the story is a chase.
[00:03:47.920] The story is a
[00:03:50.280] a kind of um, race for the truth. It's a
[00:03:53.760] pursuit
[00:03:55.840] to
[00:03:57.240] to take an entire archive
[00:04:00.280] of all
[00:04:01.920] the information about UFO and
[00:04:05.520] extraterrestrial visitation to this
[00:04:07.560] planet beginning with Roswell in 1947
[00:04:11.320] and the people who have been guarding
[00:04:13.840] these secrets and keeping these secrets
[00:04:15.360] away from the general public. The
[00:04:17.400] whistleblowers inside that organization
[00:04:20.799] have stolen the entire archive and the
[00:04:23.200] those who do not want the truth to be
[00:04:25.080] known go after them.
[00:04:27.360] And there's a couple of very important
[00:04:29.520] people in our story.
[00:04:31.120] Emily Blunt
[00:04:32.483] >> [snorts]
[00:04:32.840] >> plays Margaret and Joshua O'Connor
[00:04:35.960] Josh I mean he just they're both
[00:04:37.760] incredible together but Joshua O'Connor
[00:04:40.240] suddenly realizes that he knows a
[00:04:42.280] language
[00:04:43.640] that a week ago he didn't know he knew.
[00:04:46.840] And and and and something has happened
[00:04:48.720] to both of these people that has imbued
[00:04:51.880] them with tremendous powers. Not
[00:04:54.880] superhero Marvel DC type powers but
[00:04:58.840] powers
[00:04:59.960] that we could all relate to. Powers
[00:05:01.480] involving human connection and empathy.
[00:05:04.640] Deep empathy. And this scene is is where
[00:05:08.600] he admits that he suddenly
[00:05:11.480] understands something that a week ago he
[00:05:13.040] didn't even know anything about. Yvonne.
[00:05:15.800] Look at this.
[00:05:22.800] Do you understand what she's saying?
[00:05:25.720] I hear it's gibberish. I can't
[00:05:27.919] understand it.
[00:05:29.480] I I I just heard this for the first time
[00:05:32.040] and
[00:05:33.320] and I can.
[00:05:34.840] It's English. I mean it's it's math
[00:05:37.080] turned English in my head translating
[00:05:38.840] the words.
[00:05:41.120] When I look at this
[00:05:42.680] I hear this.
[00:05:46.498] >> [applause]
[00:05:46.800] >> I love your description. Thank you.
[00:05:52.080] I love I love the choice not just the
[00:05:54.600] description but I love the choice of
[00:05:56.360] empathy as a superpower in this. Because
[00:05:59.240] there are many moments in this when
[00:06:01.160] Emily Blunt's character without giving
[00:06:02.560] anything away expresses this empathy
[00:06:05.800] toward people and it doesn't just get
[00:06:08.480] them out of a tight bond at times it
[00:06:10.320] actually changes the people to whom she
[00:06:12.760] is expressing this inner power of hers
[00:06:15.360] and those are some of the most beautiful
[00:06:16.600] moments in the film. I think if you
[00:06:19.320] became
[00:06:20.840] if you become the person you're talking
[00:06:23.120] to even if it's for 5 seconds and in 5
[00:06:25.640] seconds you understand deeply everything
[00:06:28.160] this person's been through throughout
[00:06:29.360] their entire life before you come back
[00:06:31.120] to yourself.
[00:06:32.440] There would be a lot more cooperation
[00:06:34.720] between our own species on this planet.
[00:06:37.360] We have to take a quick break but we'll
[00:06:38.640] be right back with more Steven Spielberg
[00:06:40.280] everybody stick around.
