Darren Aronofsky Made an 18K Film for the Las Vegas Sphere - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Darren Aronofsky Made ...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
This actually makes me WANT to go to Las Vegas, a feeling I've never experienced before. (I'm also a nature person.) Aronofsky is great at that: eliciting strange feelings. Makes him a great director 👏
The film was boring. Definitely go just to experience the Sphere, but even $50 for the cheapest ticket didn’t feel worth it
@@PaulTeddy Cool story
"The Fountain" is my all-time favorite movie. The climax of that movie is literally jaw dropping. I can only imagine an 18k Aronofsky nature film.
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi it is better if you've ever been on psychedelics
Your opinion is wrong.
Only boring people have the dearth of imagination to become bored in the presence of artistic endeavor.
Yes. 100%. My favorite movie as well
I love finding fellow fans of The Fountain...it's such an important movie to me.. and it is/was such an underappreciated film...when I meet a fan of that movie I know we have something more in common than simply liking a Tarantino or Kubrick film...which are easier to digest
Requiem For A Dream literally changed my life. The Fountain, Mother, and Black Swan are also favorites.
debuting on the show darren arrosky
Darren Aronofsky is my absolute favourite contemporary director! I remember the very first time I saw "Requiem for a Dream" at the cinema - I was _not_ prepared for that rollercoaster ride! Then I went and watched "Pi", and it was a love affair for life with Aronofsky's work after that.
Half a petabyte is 500 terabytes! That's HUGE!
Aronofsky is an American treasure, a fearless artist. Is the first time he’s been invited on a late night show?
So true. His first movies Pi and Requiem inspired me during my childhood
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi
Yeah, that Noah’s Ark movie seemed suspiciously similar to something I remember reading
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi Art is always copying and pasting. Is it plagiarism if he takes inspiration from some other work? So is Nolan's Inception plagiarized?
That reaction must be what it was like for the first movie goers seeing the train come at them
for those who don't know, that oft-repeated tale of people freaking out upon viewing Lumière's "Arrival of a Train" was likely pretty exaggerated
I've only seen pictures and video of the Sphere, but it does look like a remarkable experience (IMAX to the Max). Not for those who suffer vertigo, though...
Guys! A friend just sent me this bc we were just in LV for the first time last week and I HAD to go to the Sphere if I didn't do anything else.
All I can say is it was one of the most beautiful love stories to Earth and humanity I have ever seen. If you love nature or need a reminder of how beautiful humanity is and can be...please just go.
What is the best section to sit in?! Thank you!
@@briellemears tbh the prices tell you exactly what the best seats are. Lol
But because the screen goes up to the ceiling and around part of each side, there's nothing to ubstruck your view from any seat (this may be different for a concert, but not for the movie experience I was at.)
I was in the top "nose bleeds" center isle. I'm sorry, I can't remember the rows. But if you're on a budget, the top center isles are best - any of them. I'd try to sit as low as possible on the top floor(s) because the higher you went, the more crowded it got.
I hope any of this was helpful, and I hope you have a blast!
We love Darren Aronofsky
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi it worked for Bob Dylan
Medieval Madness is an all-time great and my favorite pinball game! Great shoutout from Seth, especially considering a lot of Second City folks contributed voices, like Tina Fey and Scott Adsit.
The Sphere, the film is amazing! Though my major takeaway….. There’s a Pinball Museum!!!!!
How didn’t I know about this!!!!
The Pinball Museum is a great way to kill an hour or two when you get tired of gambling. But be warned, not all of the machines are well-maintained, and there's quite a few that will be down for maintenance. Still, an excellent collection of different pinball games throughout the decades.
1:49 I'm sorry, what? 32 GIGS PER SECOND? holy frak that's ... my mind can't even fathom that kind of picture quality 😲🤯
One of the things that keeps me coming back again and again to Seth are his guests. I always learn about someone or something new. Keep up the great work!
He’s my absolutely favorite director. I can’t wait to see this film
He's easily my favourite living director.
Another Wonder of the World.
Human Ambition and Ingenuity is Remarkable.
That’s freken awesome that he got to make that for the sphere. I get to take the photos for the lead engineer for the sphere, on Sunday, actually.
It’s SOOOO PRETTY!
🧸📸❤️🩹
When A24 brought Pi to imax earlier this year, I got to see it for the first time and it’s by far my favorite movie I’ve seen this year, i wish I could see it again at the movie theater.
"The Wrestler", "Black Swan" and even "Mother" are modern classics!
Requiem for a Dream!
I’ve seen the movie at the sphere and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!
Just went to the Sphere and saw Postcard from Earth and it was amazing!
I'm intrigued and amazed, can't wait to see it!
The Fountain is a masterpiece!
So intrigued...a lot of things get blurred by social media but THIS is something you HAVE to see live or shut up about it
I've been determined to avoid Vegas my whole life, until now.
U can still avoid it my friend. Not much better than an IMax theater and it would be very very challenging to enjoy a musical concert there unless seated the whole time.
If you only go to see this, it'd be worth it. It was so beautiful!!!
When I initially saw the title I thought, "wow. I figured by now he commanded more money to make something like this", then I realized it was just a ridiculously hi res imagery.
Right? I took it as he was challenging himself 😝
Yes! I was at PBHoF 2 years ago playing Taxi! It is one of the best! They know what they're talking about!
Absolutely amazing experience !
He was surprisingly charming. He's come across weird before. Love his films
Who would've thought Darren Aronofsky would be in the mainstream media 20 years ago😮
Just like Aronofsky, I do not gamble in Las Vegas or in any other place with casinos, knowing the mathematical curve that gets them the money you will lose if you spend enough time. I do have an annual event I go to in Nevada that would present the temptation but I never have dropped so much as a dime in that town . At other Nevada places I have stopped, to use the casino rest rooms, I have won on most of the few times I have tried one attempt to be on the upward slope of that dismal curve. In Laughlin once, I watched the roulette wheel not pay off for several turns and the put a bill down as I had seen others there do. It was then I received the lesson that kept me from ever trying that again. When I won triple, the croupier scolded me, with the look in her eyes that told me I had broken an unwritten rule.
She handed me chips for my win, saying I should tell her when I intend to to join the group playing, as she glanced upward at the mirrored ceiling. I realized what I had done was not be the usual, familiar fool or a veteran sometimes lucky gambler who serves them as encouragement.
Great interview!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Addams Family pinball is the GOAT
Love that one!! Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Cool
Medieval Madness is a great pinball game. One of my all-time faves.
18k what the heck. 4k and 8k TVs still look weird to me, crazy stuff
Is your TV the size of 2 1/2 football fields? The larger you build it, the more vertical lines you need (which is what 1080, 4k, etc means).
Pi is and forever will be my favourite lo-fi movie
Glad he's been in the media a lot lately, been a fan of his since Pi.
nail polish is in. loved his confidence (hand moves); never afraid if the shade matched or didn't his shirt. bravo! 😉
RIP, Mark Margolis. What a performance he gave in Pi.
That's pretty cool, I would definitely watch that if I was ever there
Seth mentioned Medieval Madness because Tina Fey and Scott Adsit did voice work for that pinball machine.
I live in and love Vegas. Local skateboard company. Please check us out. Anyway, the sphere is rad, and despite what locals say, the strip is like nowhere else on earth, which is really cool, too! #vivalasvegas #later #laterskateboards #laterskaters #laterlovesvegas
It is.. it is a real image.
That’s got to be mind blowing and perhaps disorienting irl
I love The Fountain! It transcends "top 5 favorite movie"...it's The Fountain....a LOT of space...then my too 5 favorite movies
Awesome
I just did the sphere this weekend for my brother birthday!
Wonderful show
Not fully worth a trip ONLY for the sphere
If you have been to the Seattle Pacific Science Center IMax it is very similar
The movie was fine
Similar to a VR national geographic 4D experience. I'd say don't spend more than $50-75 per person per ticket, anything other you better take your money to a longer show.
All in all a 45 min film and a 20 minute walk around to see all the sphere has to offer.
Enjoy $14 slice of pizza which is from a local spot , cool, but still pricey. Have fun all who go, it was a good time but I spent 90 per ticket and defiantly did not feel that I got 90$ worth of value.
Great director - Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, The Wrestler
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi if that's all he did, he must be the nicest person in Hollywood
@KathrynElizabeth-uz8hi What is your obsession w/ Satoshi Kon, anime director, who died in 2010? Or is it merely hatred for Darren Aronofsky? You realize they met in real life in Japan in 2001 & Aronofsky said it was an homage? Kon later mocked that "homage" & got bitter due to the lack of his own success in a 2007 lecture/interview. However, Requiem for a Dream is based on a book by Hubert Selby Jr, written in the late 1970's & contains images and sequences that perhaps Satoshi borrowed from in the late 1990's. Why didn't Kon authorize or license the rights to Aronofsky - then he'd have additional funds to make more projects? Why not sue him for plagiarism? Many films have brought concepts from anime to live action film. Even Disney is giving this treatment to tons of their animated movies now.
Of your 5 comments on this video, 4 claim Aronofsky is a plagiarist, the 5th calls his other film "boring." How about The Whale? That was based on a theatrical play. Pi came out before Perfect Blue (Satoshi Kon's directorial debut). This Sphere film Postcard from Earth is based on nature. I haven't seen it yet & you've said you haven't either, yet the accusations flow. Do you similarly attack Christopher Nolan late night show interview comment sections b/c of Paprika vs Inception?
taxi is cool. gorbachev, marilyn monroe, dracula, and santa lol
he's the same color as the chair.
I remember when him and Anthony Bourdain chilled in Tibet
Pi is one of my favorite movies
The only reason I might ever go to Vegas
darren is so rock and roll
I would love to see Samurai Jack in 18k!!
Did the giant preying mantis make you think of Zorak from Space Ghost? (Though he's been mislabeled a locust & grasshopper.) Had he been zapped w/ some beam & increased even further in size. Lol
these American directors are so good i love darren but my favorite will always be steven spielsberg with martin
Is it me or Darren looks like Christian Bale’s brother?😂
*In Darren I Trust*
I love that he didn't go to too many lengths to dumb down it down for those geeks of us that are interested in the real numbers.
Darren and Seth could totally be buddies
Lovely guy. He does remind me of Travis Bickle
i’ll be there on Nov 1st to see U2 🎉 so i’ll letcha know how it is 👌🏽
cool
👏👏👏
Woah... 2 fellow pinball fans, nice!!!
Correction: technically the Sphere is in Paradise, not Las Vegas. It IS in the "Las Vegas Valley".
What is the highest definition that the human eye can actually discern?
more pinball talk please
Can you do a 50-feet high Oprah?
I find the quality of his films inconsistent, but there's no denying Aronofsky has uncompromising vision and drive like few other directors today. (I've also never heard him speak before & this is not the personality-type I had pictured him as :)
I agree! REQUIEM FOR A DREAM I honestly think is a masterpiece. omg. one of the most brilliant films I have ever seen. powerful beyond words. but then I find BLACK SWAN kind of like BUGSY MALONE. it feels like everyone is playing dress up and carrying guns with whipped cream when they are supposed to be dancing ballet. he is much goofier than I expected.
I thought this was about an 18 thousand dollar film. How much did it really cost?
Steve Jobs looks so young
Christian Bale could be a perfect Darren Aronofsky
I think that they are missing one point. Even if it's highly compressed this film occupies at least 8 terabytes of storage. I know you are going to tell me I'm behind the times, and a 1 terabyte hard drive has dropped below $100. That's not the comparison. This film at a normal theatre resolution would be about 150GB. If you downloaded it off Pirate Bay, it could be less than 1GB. So this is 8000 times the size of that file on your hard drive and 50 times the file of a normal film. I don't watch pirated movies, I just heard about them from someone else.
I commented so early that the only other posts are from "Cam Girls". Not that there's anything wrong with that... (I guess?).
I keep blocking them and then more pop up.
So the Sphere is exactly like Omnimax... just bigger? They're acting like the dome screen has just been invented! Maybe it's the scale that makes the difference.
I love the idea that LA sent me out here knowing I had no idea who I was
Clicked cause I thought the budget was $18,000
Egghead
But essential cultural challenge that I expect others who criticized me to take
@8:45: "There's more pixels than money you won in Las Vegas!" ??? I'm sorry, but what a weak, nonsensical joke to leave on. 🙄 (18K > $800, thanks for the math lesson, lol!) 🤓😂
Would be my only reason to go to Vegas, but when there would eat n drink n take on a show for sure, f that losing attraction they usually go for...
Aronofsky’s gotta sweet hog.
Cleaning apartment? Why are stalkers shouting lie at me?
Soarin' on crack
host the special Olympics then play the fridge scene from Requiem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oof, I hate this dudes films lol.
god seth myers is such a creep
A bunch of ppl are getting excited and sticking their asses in my direction and saying lie. Not great. Used to be prosecuted & disincentivized
who he?
Movie director who did The Whale and Mother
@@TheDevilsInYourDetails Also Pi & Requiem for a Dream.
