Eggers is very giving in interviews, honest and open. He said in another interview that after some first screenings he called contacted to make big studio bs movies, and he said that to him is was worth mention to show the state of disrepair in the industry (and working in it myself it's good to hear things from a place he is in).
Perri absolutely nailed this interview, and the movie was exceptional. All the difficult stuff Eggers describes about the production really shows on screen.
What's a screenplay book and why would you want something like that? I'm just curious and feel like you could give me answers that Google won't reveal easily
Alex Flood you just be new here lol. A screenplay book is basically the complete screenplay of a movie that contains the script and character actions and whatnot. People might want to analyze its contents for artistic purposes such as to get an idea if they’re trying to write a screenplay or maybe to see what the screenwriter had in mind when writing it. For instance Eggers writes very specific actions for Dafoe when he does his “Hark” speech in The Lighthouse.
I hope he always makes horror movies. This is his 2nd film & so far they’ve been outstanding. I don’t want him to shift genre bcs he’s so good at it haha. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
I love the movie! I would like to also see some of my favorite novels written in the time period of the film as movies. I also think this director would do a good job with Joseph Conrad stories. I love the book A Hazard of New Fortunes, (by William Dean Howells) which has famous NYC house hunting scenes, and is the story of an insurance man starting a magazine called Every Other Week, and has my favorite kind of character from the nineteenth century: the very rude artist.
My favorite film maker. Dark fairytales with a tinge of Lovecraft set perfectly in historical periods. Can you believe we have to wait 3 years for The Northman :(((
Her: "Hm yes where did you get the idea for this" Him: "My brother, he wanted to do a ghost story in a lighthouse" *me looking at IMDB page of 2016 movie called The Lighthouse*: "Based on the infamous Smalls Island Incident of 1801 'The Lighthouse' follows Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith's disastrous posting to Smalls Island Lighthouse to 'keep the light' 25 miles from land and surrounded by the deadly Irish sea. The men are stranded in a freak storm that rages for months, nothing short of an act of God. The film tells a tale of death, madness and isolation; a desolate trip into the heart of human darkness."
@@CalebRichardsChannel Thank you that actually bothered me more than it should have haha. Just watched, "The Witch" and i was pretty impressed. I think, "The Lighthouse" is a far better picture, and his next film i'm 100% going to watch.
@@CalebRichardsChannel I cannot recommend the Lighthouse enough. I've been telling the guys at work and they're being dismissive because it's black and white. Nonsense. This movie HAD to be black and white. Because nothing in this movie IS black and white!
Savita Kumari ew no, he’s too good for superhero movies.. his work is art, not commercial, generic popular movies 😬 selfish, money-hungry studios can keep those
@@elijahmarche5593 there was a warning in the description with a timestamp, and you got to realize a full length interview with the director has potential for spoilers. You reap what you sow on this one mate.
SlothHammer yeah i heard from IHE that it’s coming out in january. it’s unfortunate how the good movies always have such limited releases. had to drive over an hour just to watch this
Really??? I have more respect for him now , especially after twilight .i think he gave an awesome performance ,hard to keep up with Willem but he held his own ,but i respect your opinion
@@mrtheluckybucket whos fault then? He gave the performance ,he was cast to play the character .lets just chalk it up to it was his first big break and not much experience.imo
Marvin Mobley you say it like he wrote it or it was some passion project.. its just a movie bro, not the september 11th attacks. He even mocked the movies vocally at the time.. Actors have a job and need to get paid just like you and i. dont act like you'd say no to millions of dollars to phone it in on some trash movie purely out of principle... He was fantastic in Harry Potter which came around that time as well.
Marvin Mobley further, the movie was VERY successful and clearly worked for somebody considering it made countless more than niche esoterica like The Lighthouse, which to some people is as obnoxious and loathesome as twighlight is to you... I like the lighthouse but just saying
this interviewer is really good. shes asks really good questions

Funny that she's working at collider. A diamond in the rough :D
He was stumbled by that first question lol
What a fantastic interview. So refreshing to see an interview where the journalist is fully prepared and knowledgeable.
Perri absolutely nailed this interview, and the movie was exceptional. All the difficult stuff Eggers describes about the production really shows on screen.
If only all interviews could have such intelligent questions. So refreshing!
Watched the other night. One of the best movies I have ever seen. This guy is my fav new director. He is an absolute genius.
Can’t wait for his future projects this man is the young GOAT
This movie just won't let me go... watched it 3 days ago, it has been stuck in my head ever since
spoiler @ 7:50
Can we get the screenplay book for this movie???
Please! A24 started a line of screenplay books, and I want this to be in their next batch.
Just look it up, I found one easy

@@SaikoTechnology check out the a24 store. They've started a new line of screenplays of their films with screenwriter notes and bts information
Great interview. Love Collider. This is the most engaged Ive seen Robert in an interview. Great job.
Great interview. The acting was incredible in this film.
this guy is a genius. also a sick mofucker ahaha. i love his films
I hope he always makes horror movies. This is his 2nd film & so far they’ve been outstanding. I don’t want him to shift genre bcs he’s so good at it haha. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
SUCH good questions!
Can you imagine having an "elevator pitch" for a film like The Lighthouse?
The lighthouse is such a great film, who says it's impossible today to raise money to shoot special films ? A24 rules
Incredible film! Seriously this and joker my top films of the year. But leave you thinking about them non stop after.

Its not Lovecraft tinted
You can't rush art :)
My fucking god, I cannot wait for him to start on the Nosferatu movie.
⭐Great interview. ⭐Great questions.
How long have we’ve been on this rock?
I saw you walking towards the Ryerson Theater! I was in the rush line and I should've asked for a pic :D
The spoiler is mentioned in the description. Take a look people.
Well now we know where most of the imdb trivia came from!
Uhh a little more of a heads up than a two second warning for a spoiler would be appreciated
Yea I agree, I didnt hit the pause button in time.
Same pretty cutted seems like a pretty pivotal thing too :(
Bryan Scamman THANK GOD FOR YOU you died for my sins
Thanks for the comment, stopped video because of your sacrifice.
Thanks man
Wow! Just wow. Cant wait fr this movie
Uhh bad luck to leave a toast unfinished, lad.
Good interviewer
this film is based on a true story that happened in 1801 at smalls lighthouse Pembrokeshire in wales uk a fact
That's crazy, I love Pembrokeshire. Been going down there ever since I was a kid.
Collider: *puts major spoiler in video*
Also Collider: "Make sure you come back for the spoiler video after watching the movie!"
Very nice interview
He reminds me of cute dog pictures.
Why?
Her: "Hm yes where did you get the idea for this"
Him: "My brother, he wanted to do a ghost story in a lighthouse"
*me looking at IMDB page of 2016 movie called The Lighthouse*:
"Based on the infamous Smalls Island Incident of 1801 'The Lighthouse' follows Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith's disastrous posting to Smalls Island Lighthouse to 'keep the light' 25 miles from land and surrounded by the deadly Irish sea.

pmd2 why is no one else talking about this lol
@@directorngc7182 cause he mentions it in other interviews :P
Lol
Good questions
Natural light and flame. In contrast to industrial light and magic.
So basically the studio was prepared to finance building a lighthouse, but not Nosferatu's castle.
Um, did you really just say they had to ask which one was playing which charachter?! Are you serious?! Neither could play the other's part.
No, they each asked who was playing their opposite. Willem and Robert wouldn't have known which other actor was involved at that point.
@@CalebRichardsChannel Thank you that actually bothered me more than it should have haha. Just watched, "The Witch" and i was pretty impressed. I think, "The Lighthouse" is a far better picture, and his next film i'm 100% going to watch.
@@maplebear6527 I haven't seen either at the moment, but a movie like this shot in this particular style really seems like it's up my alley
@@CalebRichardsChannel I cannot recommend the Lighthouse enough. I've been telling the guys at work and they're being dismissive because it's black and white. Nonsense. This movie HAD to be black and white. Because nothing in this movie IS black and white!
Does someone have any idea of how much building the actual lighthouse cost?
Alot
Loved this movie! From the beautiful B&W visuals to the acting to the story. So fucking creepy and offbeat 😁👍
0:12 😂
saludos desde México , HERES A LIKE
dc get this guy....this guy is a genius
Savita Kumari please god no.
@@masongray6762 why tho?
@Quasar Cinema Yes but what about Dc black label movies like joker?
Savita Kumari ew no, he’s too good for superhero movies.. his work is art, not commercial, generic popular movies 😬 selfish, money-hungry studios can keep those
Give him Gotham by Gaslight.
little more of a heads up for the spoiler. now im annoyed i got spoiled.
Why would you watch a full length interview from the director of the movie when you haven’t seen the movie? Seems like a bad idea.
@@mrtheluckybucket Did not know it wasn't spoiler free. But you're right it was a bad idea.
@@elijahmarche5593 there was a warning in the description with a timestamp, and you got to realize a full length interview with the director has potential for spoilers. You reap what you sow on this one mate.
Ye loike me film, don't ye???
😆
I get the sense he didn’t enjoy working on this movie AT ALL 😂😂
The director spoiled his own movie 4 months from release. Great.
wait what do you mean
@@joomface what don't you understand?
@@LaurenceSouthDrumsUK im assuming you live outside of america?
Yeah man UK, we don't get this film until next year it sucks
SlothHammer yeah i heard from IHE that it’s coming out in january. it’s unfortunate how the good movies always have such limited releases. had to drive over an hour just to watch this
Stephen Amell? Lol
This guy is super talented. Tons of future movies to look forward to
He kinda looks like him and my weed dealer combined, not even joking haha. Loved the movie tho and can't wait to see what he does next.
I wish he was bit more smooth talker.
Google The lighthouse 2016 trailer. Its like the same film same plot, worse acting
Its not the same lol
Pattinson was not great. Didn't love the movie. It's a successful mood piece. 1890s gothic sea chantey/fever dream.
Really??? I have more respect for him now , especially after twilight .i think he gave an awesome performance ,hard to keep up with Willem but he held his own ,but i respect your opinion
Marvin Mobley twilight wasn’t his fault
