Nick and Taylor were amazing, we need the sequel pls. Their chemistry is fire 🔥
Same here, waiting for sequel!!
A sequel, a series, the deleted scenes, the director's cut... I NEED MORE of Taylor and Nicholas!!
I have watched 11 times! Loved them both. Best movie ever !!!
His direction is great and the visual is great. But most of all, Nicholas and Taylor are so amazing as actors and characters that we are starving for more
When we credit Nick and Taylor, we also definitely have to credit Matthew for a fantastic job. The movie would not have been possible without them at all.
In so many scenes, it isn't just the beloved dialog but the changes in expression that flit across the characters' faces, that relay so much. Like Henry's joke about Alex being a mouthful - he gives a deadpan response, then looks down shyly, and then looks back. Or the mixture of enjoyment of being fussed over by Alex at the New Year's Eve's party and then the growing pain as he begins to think he mistook Alex's attention and the pain that even if he was right, he couldn't respond. The look Alex gives as he watches Henry's talking to the sick child in the hospital, that for me says exactly the changes coming over Alex.
The acting is beyond top notch! Swooniest movie ever! I dont want the emotional rollercoaster to stop! 😍🤣😭😆🥳
you know what we need ??? the sequel thank you
Come on Matthew, don't be shy. Give us more RWRB, Nicholas Galitzine & Taylor Zakhar Perez content 😂😂😂
I’ve watched it 33 times and counting. Just fabulous acting. Fantastic movie.
I love his interviews. You can tell he loves to have fun.
11:18 "I watched every take." 15:45 "We only did one take of every scene." Matthew, you can't fool us. 😏
This man is a natural treasure. I have, no kidding, watched the movie more than 20 times at this point! I just love all the little things we got and the great direction with the texts and the long shots. and OMG maybe the best sex scene I've seen in a romcom
I want a sequel so Nick can have the revenge he deserves 😂😂
I really liked how Matthew directed many of the scenes between Alex and Henry, especially the intimate scenes. The shots are often long, with clever blocking and minimal music, allowing the actors’ emotions and chemistry to shine right through.
Love Matthew's personality, he's so earth landed guy and delightful to watch the passion he put into this project. I couldn't ask for a better person to direct this movie, you can tell he's one of us, he's a fan of this story and his version of it is equally beautiful as the Casey's book version 🥰 RW&RB is a treasure for us queers and everyone out there who want to enjoy a great love story, great written, performed and directed! 🏳️🌈❤️🤍💙
Between Casey and Matthew they have so much talent that I know the sequel would be a BOMB!!!!!
I've watched it literally every day since it came out. Multiple times a day. I think I need help. LOL.
this interviewer is really really wonderful!!!
We need a sequel so Nick can get his revenge😂
Not me hearing Nick and Taylor doing the love Island meme ( you are a lair, Actress!) when Mathew said there are no more deleted scenes 😂
First of all , I love Mathew. I like how he answers questions 😂😂
I love having conversation with his type of person
Please make a sequel. We wanna see more of Henry and Alex's life after the coming out.
I wanna get sick of it too but I can't. Everyday since Aug 11th 🤧🤧
Lovely interview! Bloody hell though!!! All this filmed in 9 weeks...???! TBH, that is impressive. I still have a couple of mixed feelings about the movie but it has some gems in it and when Nick and Taylor are allowed to shine their scenes are pure gold...
❤this is more than a feel good series it is a game changer to all who support a future of hope. Thank you❣️
I look forward to more movies he directs 🎉He did an amazing job
I have watched it 20 times in 2 days like it’s that good 😭
We want sequels..... Royal Wedding and then Royal Baby ...
A sequel would be great!
😊 Me --- 20 times and I watch it anytime I need a pick up.
Matthew did great, Congrats to ur directorial debut, people would not think its his first film it was like shot by veteran film director…🎉🎉🎉
He's so adorable.
adorkable ☺
I love the interviewer, she really took words out of our (the movie lovers) heads.
Taylor and Nick did great too.
Mr Mathew, i don't believe you about us fans seeing everything. I know there's more. I just know it
SAME!!
Now we all want all the versions 😂
Right!?!? Didn't he say there's like tons of versions/cuts?!?!?!
I am so obsessed with this movie and I am an almost 69 year old grandmother of 3. I am almost embarrassed to admit that I have streamed the movie at least a dozen times. But please don’t do a sequel respectfully. it will ruin it for me. I just want to remember it as “they live happily ever after.
You’re so cool 😭
Wow! 69? 😳
I’m 39! It makes me really hopeful to think I could still be loving sappy swoony, lovely things like this 30 years from now 😊 This generation of young people are such a lovely bunch
Matthew, I noticed the "Some Like It Hot" clip!
Matthew needs to make more movies, I'd be more than glad to see his work
The movie is so great. I love the chemistry between Nick and Taylor and I love all the little details in the movie. This is for me the best love movie. I read the book after watching the movie. They changed a lot and I wished the movie has more scenes but the movie is so good and I could not stop to watch it.
Omg im obsessed with the movie is perfect, dying for the sequel announcement and all the deleted scenes from the movie 😭😭 I know it’s coming idk when but sequel is happening since the movie was and still is a massive success, imagine if we get a limited series ugh I’d die 😭
Matthew seems like such a fun, genuine guy, it must be great to work with him. This interviewer was brilliant too. Great video 😁
He seems like such a nice guy !
Some of my most favorite movies like Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life did only so-so when first released. It took a generation or more, and constant exposure before people recognized the once-in-a-lifetime masterpieces that they were. I'm not alone in realizing this movie is that category from first-viewing.
And well after the fact, fans were crazed to get any artifact from Oz, any costume (or shoes), and bit of alternate footage, but by the time this demand arose, it was often too late. I hope you treat your creation NOW in like fashion. Alternate takes, behind the scenes footage, etc., just anything!
My other favorite movies often bring me to tears of happiness, and I return to watch them again and again, but months apart. Apparently I'm not alone in watching this movie several times each day, sometimes the whole thing, sometimes just the most treasured bits. (I joke that I might need to go to RWRB Anonymous at some future point, if my passion ever becomes an obsession.)
Yeah I’m 73 and I fell in love with this movie. It could be so ‘true’ in our time and culture. As long as it doesn’t get porno, it’s great!!!!🥰
Oh come on...i don't believe tht there weren't any deleted scenes...just not possible. Give them to us Matt. Also WE WENT A SEQUEL.
I luv him and Casie and Nick and Taylor and everyone who made the movie. What they've created really really is setting the bar so high.. whenever I think of history I will remember this movie... History Huh...I think they all made it. ❤
I think he's just joking? He stated clearly in previous interview that all the film footages add up to 2hr45min. Maybe Amazon not willing to release any more deleted scene?
@@vnse725 Yeah, he's definitely joking! Especially with the exaggerated 'nope, everything was one take! Perfect first time!' and so on XD
@@vnse725it was an assembly, it is just for the director, i am not an expert but i think the assembly means all the scenes in different takes even before editing but on the other hand Lopez stated that they had in fact 2 hours 7 minutes. So at least 2-3 scenes which we didnt see yet
@@vnse725 Yeah pretty certain he was joking, the poor guy probably just wants people to stop harassing him for more deleted scenes and extra footage after everyone became (incorrectly) convinced there's a 3 hour version of the film hidden away somewhere 😅
Matthew, please make the next version a mini-series, 6 episodes?
So is he telling the truth that no more footage left ? I really want more of Taylor and Nick!!
In other interview he talked about much longer version of polo match scene. I really want that
THE SET WAS PROB SO CHAOTIC 😭😭
Don’t lie to us, Matthew, LOL! 🤪
In one of the trailers/promo videos, there’s a frame in which Alex and Henry are sat at a table, all smiling, that we haven’t seen in the movie, which clearly tell us that there are so many more deleted scenes that we have to see! Please, I’m begging you! 🙏🏻🥺
❤️🤍💙
Matthew you did an amazing work, you deserve all this success
Please re-make the movie with all the deleted parts put back in.
oh my god i love him i love him so much i can't express my love and gratitude enough i'm gonna cry in my bed because of this awesome work!! thank you so much for the interview!! it was something i really needed
Excellent interview. Both parties complimented one another and I really enjoyed it ❤
MATTHEW. YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks for this movie. This fan doesn't want a sequel. When something is as perfect as RW&RB, leave it alone.
Love you director ❤
Thanks dawnhearn! I’ve watched the movie more than 10 times and I was getting worried. Glad to know I’m not the only one who cannot get enough of the story of Alex & Henry.
Matthew gets the academy award for best actor for his performance of looking in to the camera and lying to all our faces about there being no more deleted scenes or footage...and he gets the electric chair for reducing us all to the gay equivalent of the overly invested Snyder Cut fanboys.
We need a sequel where they’re married and about to become parents.
We want more of Taylor and Nicholas movies .
So why is Michael allowed to give interviews and not the actors? Is it because he’s not a member of SAG-AFTRA? I totally support all the writers and actors but I’m dying to see more interviews with Nick & Taylor once the strike is over! ✨💛✨. Also, great interview!
I’m wondering this too. Matthew is adorable and I love watching interviews of him but I want more tay and Nick 😞
@@elizabethcim2571 there are different social media rules for the WGA - they’re allowed to promote their new projects, whereas SAG is not
@@oliviacaudell5891 oooh gotcha 🥲
Pressure should be entirely on the studios to accede to the actors' and writers' very reasonable demands. The actors did interviews about working on RWRB before the strike started but we can't expect the actors to do more interviews until the strike is over.
Actually Matthew is giving his interviews as part of his obligations to his director's contract, not his writer's one! It's why he hasn't been talking about the process of adaptation as much. Since DGA leadership acquiesced to a shitty deal, he's still expected to do his directorial promotional work, which is both a blessing for us as fans because we get these interviews, but a curse for the strike because they lose a little bit of leverage
I should have paid attention to class the way I paid attention to Matthew sharing his prank on Nick
YES WE WANT MORE
In a different interview, he did claim there was enough unused footage to create a whole different version of the movie.
Really?!?!
@@palmyrapalmyra1681 Yes, really.
@@CuriousEarthMan 🤣😂🤪welll...wen u put it like THAT🤪😂🤣.. amazing that Amazon's not falling all over itself monetizing. Given all the drooling n begging from besotted, addicted, obsessed fans. Leaving $$$ on the table. Strange behavior from $$ grubbing entity. 🙄
As for the easter eggs, I really like the books that they read: Casey McQuiston's book is already mentioned in this interview.
- But in the same scene, Henry is reading »Girl, Woman, Other« by Bernardine Evaristo, and this book is such a tremendously contemporary queer and poc perspective of today's Britain, I think this is a fantastic book to let Henry read!
- Another book that we see Henry reading (in the Scene Alex ›stormed the castle‹) is »Howards End« by E.M. Forster. Again, I feel this is great queer reference.
- In the beautiful ›Turkey Bellend Scene‹, we see Alex puts his phone down on a book. It is volume 2 »Meeans of Ascent« of the series »The Years of Lyndon Johnson« by Robert A. Caro.
- In the ›Waterloo Letters‹ scene, Alex is watching the news on his laptop, and we can spot volume 3 »Master of the Senate« of this series on his night table ;)
- Alex seems to be interested in Architecture, as I can spot coffee table books on this subjects, like Bauhaus and G. Bawa in his rooms (both, in D.C. as well as in Austin).
Another wonderful easter egg is »Whalers« by William Turner, that we see in the opening of the ›stormed the castle‹ scene. The painting hangs over Harry's bed, so it seems that it is part of the Royal Collection, while it is actually hanging in the MET in NY ;)
I noticed some of those books, too! So glad you mentioned them.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hello... Metthew, we need sequel pls 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was a beautiful movie!
Maybe there are no more scenes, but there is definitely "Behind the scenes". Show those please
But I do wonder what's in this movie that made me rewatch it multiple times...? And I know it's not because it's a gay movie (I'm gay) because I never do this with other queer movies. So idk.... I'm not complaining tho.
For me, it's because watching RWRB gave me positive feelings: warmth, comfort, happiness... that made me keep rewatching it to feel them again and again. This movie didn't make me heartbroken and depressed at the end like some famous gay movies did.
Same, I'd love to know what made this movie in particular crawl inside my brain and refuse to leave. Genuinely can't stop watching and thinking about it, seeking out interviews and BTS content, watching fan-edited shorts... I hadn't even read the book beforehand, so didn't have that same excitement and attachment as book fans going in.
I think there was just something so special about the performances, chemistry between Nick and Taylor, and the overall positive messages and representation the film holds (vs the many LGBT+ films/stories which end in violence, death, breakups, depression, etc.)
@@ObtuseMori I think it's both of the beautiful chemistry and the happy ending that gave us addictive lovely feeling.
@@grethangeick630 Agreed, it's so nice for an LGBT film to be so heart-warming and feelgood, and focus on the funny and romantic moments rather than the negative aspects. I hope its success leads to a lot more good quality LGBT+ films being made! ❤
It's like there's a rope....pulling me....toward....this movie!! Cannot get enough!!!😘😍🤩🥳
Please please release release all the bts and more interviews we need everything
IKR?!?!?😁
The movie is a pearl. You shouldn't expand it too much and then ruin it with that. Instead, it's better to tell a new story. There are certainly more than enough books with other characters for new inspiration.
WE NEED A SEQUEL ❤
not to sound rude, but we NEED a sequel at this point. like you don't understand how much this means to the lgbtq+ community. this is like the best thing that has happened to us.
There are sooo many phallic symbols...the Washington monument, the Eifel tower, Big Ben, Nelson's Column, probably more.
Yep. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this!
😆😆😆
Why can't we see the actors talking about the movie ☹️🤨 we need to see Nicholas and Taylor
Because they are on strike. Giving interviews would mean crossing the line and would get them blacklisted, meaning they would not be able to get a acting job anymore. So they aren’t promoting their movie with interviews etc. until the strike is over.
@@KindleandBook Wish the strike will quickly pass🥲
I really need more interaction between them
We love those guys. We miss them😥
No Matthew you don't convice us about the deleted scenes and the 3 hours movie version 🙄 we still waiting for all that
Easter egg. The lacrosse stick in Alex’s bedroom.
Maybe there are no more scenes, but there is definitely "Behind the scenes". Give us those please
we need a sequel
Matthew seems like an adorable person to work with! What a great interview! But what really sticks to me here is, why the hell they double the movie to French and Spanish audience?! I'm aware it is common, but I cannot understand how people still double adult movies, it feels so weird to watch.. and one of the main reasons why, on average, french and spanish are not that good at english as other european countries (portuguese here).. well, offtopic aside, now that I think I've watched enough rwrb content I will move to watch Matthew content 😂
Wait there’s no 3 hour version? 🥺🥺🥺
why noone talked about other easter eggs such as lubricant / candoms on bedside ... also Henry stole Alex's blue hoodie and Texas cap? 😂😂
Sad to say, the hoodies are not the same.
@@KindleandBook they're not exactly the same. but a nice déjà vu for us 🤭
There's soo much to this movie!!! & We're insatiable, scrutinizing every second of it over & over. It makes me so happy! 😁
@@palmyrapalmyra1681 It has became our wonderful maze to search through and find comfort in each corner! I still watch it everytime I feel down or sad
Where in the film is the clip of "Some Like it Hot"????
Yes, the shave story.
I wish someone will ask him what scenes are not on the script that made the final cut
so there was never a 3 hour version lmaooo
Did he say there's 40 or 50 diff versions/cuts that he's seen???? Amazon just ignoring those?
They should maintain as neat as the first if they will make part 2,imo.
the interviewer looks like sabre norris lmao
Where was the author in the movie? I didn’t notice her.
Election night scene. The Prez & 2 women are at a table writing on laptops. 1 of the women is CaseyM. She's in 1 other scene i believe.
what taylor swift dress are they talking about? i'm so confused
The one that Bea, Henry’s sister wore at the royal wedding.
@@KindleandBook oh ok
Mathew and his addicted scenes are new drugs. People beg, scream, trick to have more doses!
IKR?!?!? OMG!!!😘💕😍🤩🥳
Wouldn’t expect he told the story about Taylor becoming so aware of his hairy butt lmao
he is delicious...
Question: why is he allowed to talk about the movie but the actors aren’t?!
Aren’t directors part of the strike?
I think actors choose to support the strike and not participate in promotions
No, the directors have their own guild and are not currently on strike
@@malottdesign ah okay thank you 👍
He’s in the WGA which is on strike, but the union has different rules about promoting while on strike
Well😂 the movie wasn't enough. I don't get why you think it's a joke, for the character and story development a few extra minutes would definitely be better
it was enough as a first entry HOWEVER we do need a sequel cause these characters are so amazing and we yearn for more
Im might beat him on the number of times watched.
what a funny little nervous gay man lol. where can I order one?
