To be in the passenger seat of a golf cart with Spielberg driving, chatting about movies while driving thru the Universal backlot... I could die a happy man after that.
Kevin Finkbeiner I would love to take this ride as well. I got to meet him and Peter Jackson at Comic con back in 2011 they're so nice. It awesome that they have stayed humble in Hollywood
me too. as a child I saw the name Spielberg on my favourite films. it was then. that I asked my mam how can I make movies. she did not know what to say lol. but I'd love to spend an hour with this great director and ask some serious questions.
Maybe they'll invent holograms with the knowledge of the individuals infused into the holograms and then you could actually talk to Steven Spielberg's Hologram, because I bet you if he could and had time, he is humble enough to actually talk to each and every one of his fans, but since there are so many people, so many that he wouldn't possibly be able to talk to all of them.
You all know, that he's been accused of being a pedofile like 3 or 4 different times, right? See what actor chrispian glovers open letter he who about the man. Then see if he's still a nice and humble of person you all claim him to be.
My mom met him at the studio when he was filming Close Encounters and he looked like he'd just woken up and he said to everyone, "Excuse me if I look like a slob but I slept on the set. I just want to make sure this film gets done right." This is a man who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, and that's what makes him so great. He is all consumed by his work.
Steven just seems to be such a great guy! Not only an awesome director and a huge part of Hollywood history, but somebody who's genuinely fun to hang out with.
Steven has one of the most relaxed personas and mellifluous voices when it comes to interviews. I could listen to him for hours on end on his filmography.
A down to earth guy worth three billion seven hundred million dollars(3,700,000,000). If you could save $10,000 every single day, then it would only take you 1,014 years to save 3.7 billion. I'm wondering if i can pay the light bill. I agree though he does seem pretty down to earth despite his enormous wealth and influence, he earned it to.
I can listen to Spielberg talk about films all day. It's been one of the greatest joys of my life to have been able to grow up watching his films. I remember seeing Jurassic Park at least 3 times in 1993. I couldn't have been any older than 6 or 7 when it was released. Simply amazing..
Hey, start right now. You live in an age where it is all easily accessible. When I was young it was film and very expensive and hard to do. The way you can start today is a dream. I wish you the best.
My 5 Favorite Spielberg Movies: 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark 4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 3. The BFG 2. Jaws 1. Jurassic Park (My Favorite Movie Period)
I think my favourite is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I just don't fancy having my heart ripped out by someone before plunged into a fire pit. Oh and that toy he uses to control people. Also kind of shows hierarchy. With the Queen and quests, to right down with the poor kids as slaves. Then there are the crocs, which kind of steal the show. I wouldn't want to go along that bridge though because I would have definitely been croc dinner.
This is my dream. To pick this mans brain about cinema. Talk John ford, Hitchcock, David lean, Kurosawa, Kubrick and all my favorites that I share with Spielberg. I'd love to talk cinematography and just everything with the man. My hero of cinema.
Timeless timeline time travel would be there by universal studios hollywood movies on money made into store story about how much money does it take for the best part of the rest remember the same place looks like new
That War of the Worlds set got made me so emotional. That is one of my favorite films of all time; it motivated me to create my first film. Thanks Spielberg!!
I will do it Steve, I don't know how but i will work on one of your sets, and it can be as low as shoveling cow poop, i will do it with a smile on my face! You're my favorite director! ~ Half starved film student
So fucking cool. One of the best interviews I have seen with Steven! So direct and personal! You have been gifted by Mr Spielberg my friend! Give thanks. Peace ✌🏻👽Christo
Film directors are underrated artists. Singers, actors, musicians, writers are so much more popular. Film directors should also be equally revered. If you look closely, directors combine all arts from writing, designing, acting, music, visual effects and join all of them to realize their vision and make films. Spielberg has made some of the most popular, culturally relevant and timeless films. I hope he is remembered for a long long time after his death. A legendary artist.
Screen writers are not more popular than film directors. They are in fact quite low on the food chain, unfortunately. Often they are not even allowed on the set. A writer dreams up the entire story and characters and a director often claims it as his "vision." That's not to say good directors (such as Spielberg) don't deserve accolades however. I agree he is a master of his craft.
Currently applying to animation jobs. I have my back against the wall and if I give up on my dream I go back to working minimum wage jobs for the rest of my life. This stuff really motivates me to not give up
This was incredible, not only to see and hear him speaking about his youth running around the backlot but also to see the film sets! I loved getting to see the back of the Psycho house in the background at 6:37, you don't get to see that side of it often.
He has entertained generations with his wonderful movies, what a wonderful gift he has given us to enjoy over and over again, for generations to come and the best part is he isn't done yet. Thanks Mr Spiellberg.
8 years on, this remains an excellent, insightful interview! Spielberg really is a legend. Does anyone know if they reinstated the Orca boat for the Jaws part of the studio tour?
he was the first director I ever hurd of. His films were the first films I ever really enjoyed and wanted to see more of them. Duel was the first film of his I saw. Then jaws. Then empire of the sun, which I related to so closely as I was a similare age to the boy in it. Spielberg always remindes me of my childhood, when I was still free and my heart was still warm with dreams, love and hope. hearing of his life and and journy even now fills me with real happness. when I hear him say how he felt more at home on the film lot then at home, that he knew he had found his calling in life and where he belonged. To know that such wounderful thing like that can happen to somone on this earth fills me with that warmth, happness and hope that i once knew again. Its one of the only things that dose right now. I miss the boy I once was. I miss the joy and energy I once had for life. Its hard to beleave it will ever come back. Somehow I fell down in life, made to many mastakes. I was too weak to make good in this life. In the end I can only hold myself to blame. But Steven made it throw. He seems a kind person. who wanted to be crative and bring joy to others and to live a posititve life with meaning and sucess. It fills me with joy that he was blessed to have what it tok inside himself to make good. well done Mr Spielberg, thanks for bringing such hope and happness to me and so many others.
2:38 That movie theater facade at the back is the same movie theater facade you see in Gremlins. Also the opening shots in Gremlins in the snow are on Courthouse Square too.
Universal Studios was my 2nd home from 1980 to 1991 . Acted in so many Scenes in movies and T.V. shows . I miss working on set at times and at times happy to get out of the business as a SAG member .
Me when I heard Rachel Zegler got a tour around Universal Studios with the Steven Spielberg in a golf cart😆😂 I hope I get to have a personal tour with Steven in a golf cart someday
Is this tour open to the public? Obviously not guided by Spielberg (lol), but I'd love to do it someday, especially see the WOTW set and Bates Motel etc. Looks amazing!
Had to come check this out after For Your Amusement. The tourists would love to see the Orca Edit to say: this interview is actually dope as hell and this tourist is very glad she came to see this Orca
That story with the Orca at the Jaws ride only makes the ride being torn down even sadder. I wish I went to Universal Studios before it was shut down I've never been there before and two see a ride of one of my favorite movies not there really tears apart my heart
Omg my wish exactly.Hes the last magical legend around since our childhood especially for 80s babies!!!.we already lost MJ.i love both of them so super much
Some sets are used for other productions (like the Back to the Future plaza that was already used before the movie) and most sets are simply destroyed, only few remain after shooting.
Hitchcock kicked Spielberg off the set. If only he knew he was dealing with the future most famous director in the world and the only one whose name is better known than his own as being a film director.
To be in the passenger seat of a golf cart with Spielberg driving, chatting about movies while driving thru the Universal backlot...
I could die a happy man after that.
Kevin Finkbeiner I would love to take this ride as well.

That's too much to ask ,for me to see him is enough.
My mom met him at the studio when he was filming Close Encounters and he looked like he'd just woken up and he said to everyone, "Excuse me if I look like a slob but I slept on the set. I just want to make sure this film gets done right." This is a man who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, and that's what makes him so great. He is all consumed by his work.
I wish this was three hours long.
agreed!
More like three days
I COMPLETELY disagree!
4 hours. Minimum.
Steven just seems to be such a great guy! Not only an awesome director and a huge part of Hollywood history, but somebody who's genuinely fun to hang out with.
Steven has one of the most relaxed personas and mellifluous voices when it comes to interviews. I could listen to him for hours on end on his filmography.
Speilberg is a rule breaker based on his behavior. His approach is original.
Yes, taking cues from earlier eras, classic movements...great cinema.
He's a member of the Tribe. They have no rules.
This was fantastic and I wish it was 8 hours long. Spielberg seems like such a down to earth guy.
A down to earth guy worth three billion seven hundred million dollars(3,700,000,000). If you could save $10,000 every single day, then it would only take you 1,014 years to save 3.7 billion. I'm wondering if i can pay the light bill. I agree though he does seem pretty down to earth despite his enormous wealth and influence, he earned it to.
😷Se siente bien amigo te sientes bien fotos enfermito👈😐
I wonder if like 5 minutes later someone on the tram was like "holy shit that was Steven Spielberg"
Aidan McLeod iiii
This was great! @8:20, I bet all the tourists did a double take at the passing golf cart. "Is that...? Naaaaaaah. It couldn't be." lol
He's pretty recognisable.
Eddie Romero I was thinking the same thing. How can they not?
I also wonder if the people at 2:20 saw him
I noticed most were looking his way.
Wow this was amazingly entertaining & educational to watch. So great to see a candid Spielberg in his element too.
I want to meet Steven Spielberg so bad it's on my bucket list
Householder Films He’s on my bucket list as well, along with Stan Lee
Householder Films same
@@wildethang93 Did you meet stan lee before he died
Same 😊
The tour guide at 8:20 better have shut up and said "FOLKS LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT"
I
I would have been like HOLY SHIT
Replace folks with "Asians" and look with "move your cameras"
bunch of asian tourists who have no idea who he is
I've just found this Video and I was there on that day and spotted Spielberg driving around!
"For Your Amusement" sent me here. The tourists would love to see the Orca here.
I could listen to Spielberg all day.

I want to be a Filmmaker like Stephan Spielberg when I grow up
Joshua Owolabi - Quadri Start now. Steven started as a young boy.
Joshua Owolabi - Quadri me too
Hey, start right now. You live in an age where it is all easily accessible. When I was young it was film and very expensive and hard to do. The way you can start today is a dream. I wish you the best.
I'm going ahead and calling it, Steven Spielberg will go down as the Greatest Film Director of All Time !!
Christopher Nolan is giving him a run for his money
@@qcrew2938 Not even Close!! No where near - not even in the Slightest!!
@@xtraflo give it 10 more years. Nolan will be the GOAT
Steven Spielberg is a gem!
My 5 Favorite Spielberg Movies:
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
3. The BFG
2. Jaws
1. Jurassic Park (My Favorite Movie Period)
Jurassic Park is also my favorite! Schindler´s list and The lost world: JP.
1: Saving Private Ryan
2: Schindler's List
3: Jaws
4: Raiders Of The Lost Ark
5: ET
I think my favourite is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I just don't fancy having my heart ripped out by someone before plunged into a fire pit. Oh and that toy he uses to control people. Also kind of shows hierarchy. With the Queen and quests, to right down with the poor kids as slaves. Then there are the crocs, which kind of steal the show.

Try to watch Schindler's list by spielberg.its a great film.
This is my dream. To pick this mans brain about cinema. Talk John ford, Hitchcock, David lean, Kurosawa, Kubrick and all my favorites that I share with Spielberg. I'd love to talk cinematography and just everything with the man. My hero of cinema.
Tyler Jacobson great job out there
8:20 someone on that tour bus must shout "Hey it's Steven Spielberg!"
Time to sneak onto a Spielberg set.
TIME TO DO IT!
Timeless timeline time travel would be there by universal studios hollywood movies on money made into store story about how much money does it take for the best part of the rest remember the same place looks like new
It's like taking a mini road trip with Steven Spielberg ....... Amazing Stories 😁.
The tourists would love to see the Orca
Omg this is like being i a recording studio alone with MJ snd and hes teliing you how he wrote /composed his songs.Magical
My gosh I could watch this for hours
That War of the Worlds set got made me so emotional. That is one of my favorite films of all time; it motivated me to create my first film. Thanks Spielberg!!
Man I love Steven Spielberg, I would just like to thank him for his work one day
Spielberg is The Best!
==> Christopher Nolan is the best now. He whrites his own movies, the scripts come from himself, not Spielberg, so Nolan is the best now !
Kamino1138 Tarantino also writes the script, but he isn't better than great directors like Spilberg or Scorsese
Spielberg*
It dépends on a lot of things. About what you say, yes, you're right, but I prefere filmakers like Nolan, Cameron ( F**k avatar !) or Woody Allen...
Simply the whole inventor of the modern movies Speilberg is the best❤️
Steven sneaking on to the set of Torn Curtain and then being told to leave is epic.
Who knew those sets were so big, could drive on for miles, wow
3:52 Is a really touching and relatable story. We've all been there.
I love steven Spielberg .
he's a cute man and beautiful and smart.
I want to give a kiss to Spielberg !!
==> True :)
RAPPI what?????
I will do it Steve, I don't know how but i will work on one of your sets, and it can be as low as shoveling cow poop, i will do it with a smile on my face! You're my favorite director!
~ Half starved film student
Terrific video. I just wish it would have been much longer. Spielberg is the man!!! I re-watched "Duel" yesterday and it was brilliant of course.
So fucking cool. One of the best interviews I have seen with Steven! So direct and personal! You have been gifted by Mr Spielberg my friend! Give thanks. Peace ✌🏻👽Christo
This was amazing Spielberg is such and inspiration.
I snuck onto the Universal lot once. Best 3 backstage tour ever.
Wow Mr Spielberg is a legend and please have them built a new Orca!
The Greatest Film Director Of All Time. Legend.

Felchenstein I was talking about novelists like Jk Rowling, Stephen King, George RR Martin etc. I agree screenwriters too deserve credit.
Abdullah Bhinder directors are revered more so then writers for sure

You're so lucky to have such a ride with such a great director like Steven Spielberg. My dream is to meet him.
I came here from For Your Amusement: A Theme Park Podcast, hi Ryan Bergara
He has entertained generations with his wonderful movies, what a wonderful gift he has given us to enjoy over and over again, for generations to come and the best part is he isn't done yet. Thanks Mr Spiellberg.

I feels it too mr green, its like found again "the feeling" that had gone.
NO 1 COULD HAVE A BETTER HOST. 2 THUMBS UP TO STEVEN SPIELBERG 👍👍

Thanks for posting. I could watch and listen to SS guide this tour for hours.
Happy 70th Birthday Steven Spielberg
I could have listened to this all day.
It'll be an honor to have a chance to meet Steven Spielberg in person!! He's my biggest inspiration for Filmmaking! :D
It's really cool seeing Universal studios through a different lens. This May, I went to Universal and took the tour. I saw lots of the same things.
Is this tour open to the public? Obviously not guided by Spielberg (lol), but I'd love to do it someday, especially see the WOTW set and Bates Motel etc. Looks amazing!
RUclips needs more of this!!!
Such inspiration this is!
Had to come check this out after For Your Amusement. The tourists would love to see the Orca
Edit to say: this interview is actually dope as hell and this tourist is very glad she came to see this Orca
all the background people were staring lmao
Thanks for tour time, Mr. Spielberg.
This video was 10 mins? holy shit, it flew by. I need more.
That story with the Orca at the Jaws ride only makes the ride being torn down even sadder. I wish I went to Universal Studios before it was shut down I've never been there before and two see a ride of one of my favorite movies not there really tears apart my heart
Where is the 'lost world set' (jurrasic park)
I've done this tour like 15 times but never seen it?
Very cool video, I loved watching this. I toured universal as a kid and this brought back memories. Thanks.
@1:19 Is that a Halo map? I somehow have memories of being pinned down under enemy fire on that grassy knoll?
the director supports all artists great and small
That was brilliant
Cool. Nothing like a studio. Best place to stay busy, experiment, and learn.
It would be so scary to visit all these sets in the night
One of the greatest pieces of movie memorabilia....“ORCA”, chopped up and thrown away....unbelievable!!!!!
He's such a charming nerd, no? I just love his story.
And sexy and adorable
Steven Spielberg Is my favorite film director producer and whiter from 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s and 2020s
Could listen to him talk all day
I love this video!
This was phenomenal.
Steve: " ..and that's the Last World set..."
Me: " Ok drop me here Steve I'll see you in a few hours.."
wow that was a fantastic interview
Never die Steven!!
Omg my wish exactly.Hes the last magical legend around since our childhood especially for 80s babies!!!.we already lost MJ.i love both of them so super much
Thanks for the very nice interview. Very educational!
Can you even imagine how lucky that guys is?????!!!!
This video is so cool. This is a stupid question but how can they keep all those sets? Don't they run out of land?
Some sets are used for other productions (like the Back to the Future plaza that was already used before the movie) and most sets are simply destroyed, only few remain after shooting.
The people on the tour bus all looking at them lmao
Imagine the tour bus realizing it was Spielberg
lol they are all looking at him on the side of the street lol.. he's a legend
Jaws, a masterpiece.
Thank you, Mr. Steven Spielberg.
I'd love to be Mr Spielberg's friend. Talking cinema all day would be great.
Been there, wish i had done that (with Steven Speilberg)
Steven Spielberg drive and Jimmy Stewart drive; two drives named after two of my favorite figures in Hollywood.
Spielberg is AWESOME...
Imagine being on one of the tour trams and you just see Steven Spielberg drive past.
Hitchcock kicked Spielberg off the set. If only he knew he was dealing with the future most famous director in the world and the only one whose name is better known than his own as being a film director.
This made my day😁😁😁
8:20 Steven Spielberg just casually drives by all those people on tour. They probably didn't even realize it was him until after it happened.
August 1997, in place.
Nice experience.
People who say “Wow! Spielberg was only 27 and he managed to show up Hollywood should see this 3:50 and then decide.
That tour guide having Spielberg drive past them, wow, most of them probably didn't notice or wasn't sure enough to believe it was him.
