15:55
the other men these are the famous other men
15:57
the new york under margaret of l a c open
15:59
a moron believe it myself
16:01
often for that you know for the other man
16:04
a man well
16:06
thank you for playing that game with as with hope you learned absolutely
16:09
nothing could buy
16:13
omega for the meat of our discussion the thought process
16:16
of creating the ,
16:18
and i will be slain will be meet this week we're going
16:20
to be talking about adaptations you know
16:23
some books from from
16:25
articles from podcast add
16:28
but and ever going to talk about our our see
16:30
rated not so favorite adaptations why they
16:32
often fail is there an adaptation
16:34
has been better than the source material were you ever
16:36
surprised that something was an adaptation
16:38
or that it actually wasn't an adaptation and
16:40
it was a fully realized fully new idea
16:43
but before we get to that if you
16:45
were going to adapt food for thought
16:47
for film and television who would play
16:49
you oh that's
16:52
really hard cheese i'm not ready
16:54
for that question matt
16:58
rogers our
17:01
am i oh my god
17:05
i'm a school my last lap
17:08
i would
17:08
i would say a young he honorees i
17:12
could see that see the wow
17:14
okay you just going for i did so by
17:16
oh nothing really matters nothing really matters
17:18
now okay so okay think
17:21
i'm gonna cast fran the
17:25
actually the new guy so that i think about it so that
17:28
i'm the about someone her friend to but for
17:30
me here
17:32
me
17:33
it would really love for it to be angelica
17:35
ross i
17:38
love everything about her and
17:42
she would make me proud of me
17:44
no i yam
17:47
in the in the role of joe i
17:49
would probably cast own
17:51
a tall placid cactus besides
17:55
have suffered it's the
17:57
perfect like a thousand of water
17:59
in it hi the amount of time that
18:01
joe sense crying it's
18:03
all of the water all of the water goes to the
18:05
tears it's tears it's you know it's
18:07
famously i'm the cactuses moisture
18:10
is all inside of the plant you know mean
18:12
and wow so i think that like
18:14
is the rise
18:16
it's dry dry
18:19
a pastor's d it me as valid
18:21
or for that he doesn't the it's their seats and
18:23
friend beauty the cats yourself we
18:26
need you know you can play kenya we down
18:31
i've you were tiki palmer
18:34
the way i borrow the emily than
18:36
me a good energy yeah she
18:39
would be very chest who'd you cast as alex
18:43
oh my god decoded johnson
18:46
johnson
18:47
really yeah
18:51
actually i think i have actually
18:54
the perfect
18:55
there in mind i think
18:57
scarlett johanson should play all of us
19:00
have , right right i
19:02
actually wouldn't get always alex to be played by
19:04
but boots kristen stewart yeah
19:07
that would be that is already get well as
19:10
or the other good seems as if what you wanted to bring up the
19:12
sabic what is your favorite adaptations
19:15
oh well i just saw passage the
19:18
which was based on the novella by
19:20
know a larson and i love
19:22
that book eyes then
19:24
i was i i i thought it's
19:26
adaptation was was was nice i
19:28
thought the performances are really good and
19:30
you know what they've seen as like what i'm
19:32
always fascinated about adaptations as
19:34
lakes in a
19:36
, from trying to adapt something myself
19:39
right now some from a web series and
19:41
to i admire television show like
19:45
this i think the successful adaptations
19:47
aren't necessarily the ones that
19:50
are like sit the thing to with
19:52
that that have adapted from earth from the source
19:54
material to it's he's but they have i submit
19:56
or off yeah that that's not such a literal adaptation
19:58
but it does captured spirit of
20:02
, the what the source material
20:04
was about you know i think of i'm hustlers
20:08
rates with that would raise dot an article
20:10
and i think the atlantic where the new yorkers
20:12
something like that that i thought it was
20:14
it will i mean it was an excellent i mean i have a i'm
20:17
bias i loved hustlers it's the i saw seventeen
20:19
times shot at christina tucker you know what i'm talking
20:21
i'm com but it was
20:24
in his in like a team some of the names
20:26
and it seems some the ages and all that kind of stuff but
20:28
it really did get to this idea of
20:31
these women who
20:33
were being taken advantage of
20:35
by the club by the system by
20:38
the financial crisis are taking matters
20:40
into their own hands yeah you know and blake
20:42
the ethics and morality of that our own
20:44
question begs you know he was also
20:47
like what recourse to these women have
20:49
you know who can they go to to
20:51
write these wrong they can't they don't
20:53
have anybody they can go to they take it into their
20:55
own scary think that's why i loved this
20:57
ideas are aware i love that adaptation so
20:59
much and i've i've wondered to with the
21:02
rest of your i
21:04
thought about this topic again because joe
21:07
we were just joking on tax and and joe was talking
21:09
about of adapting
21:12
oh with it jokingly adapting this novel
21:15
that he's working on there
21:18
and curious like is there an adaptation
21:21
that stands out for ya
21:23
i'm of two minds about this
21:26
about like the perfect adaptation being
21:29
super liberal versus been completely
21:31
longer than i don't think because i think
21:34
the just before the fire i would movie which
21:36
is an adaptation of pride and prejudice i
21:38
went back and revisit the ninety ninety five
21:40
a bbc mini series pride and prejudice
21:43
or that's the best one have the best one
21:45
oh my god i love that do it for sided
21:47
it is amazing and also as as
21:49
a time in the nineties there weren't that many limited
21:51
series and so it felt super long is
21:54
like five one hour episodes and examined
21:56
the sunshine and box set of vhs
21:58
tapes right and now now
22:01
that we're so used to streaming and other or some
22:03
so used to like been getting things you
22:05
go by you're like oh my god that's actually really sort
22:07
it's only five hours of content with for that
22:09
was crazy for now was like totally normal but
22:11
it is such a literal adaptation
22:15
by the dialogue comes from the book
22:17
and the characters are so and that's why
22:19
it's so long right because it has all of these
22:21
twists and turns that you typically have time
22:23
for in a novel that you don't have time
22:25
for in a movie that's ninety minutes or two hours
22:27
right and so it but the adaptation
22:29
is so perfect
22:32
like it's so good and it's so true
22:34
to what the book is and that acting is often on ross
22:36
and it totally is it's own singular
22:38
things and then i think of an adaptation
22:41
like the film adaptation which
22:43
is like fuckin bonkers
22:46
you know and it's so mehta and it's so
22:48
weird and it gets sick it starts
22:50
matter and even just gets more met us
22:52
and it is completely divorced from the source material
22:55
which is a new yorker profile right so it's
22:57
like but both of those are phenomenal
23:00
adaptations because that the
23:03
final work of art
23:04
the
23:05
the thing that it is school
23:08
watching adaptation
23:11
i think so
23:14
i see your point about and the mini
23:16
series being a better adaptation perhaps than
23:18
a feature is am ,
23:20
think there's more opportunities for that now
23:23
now i'm thinking about like little fires everywhere
23:25
which was not a perfect adaptation but but
23:27
but it's been a limited
23:29
serious allowed for it to be more
23:31
like the book you know anything
23:33
to like unsuccessful adaptations in
23:36
my opinion like great expectations are midnight
23:38
children stitch tried to sit too much
23:40
sit until an hour and an half that's
23:43
right it going with it gets so it gets
23:45
so busy and that the so worried
23:47
about like people who read the book in
23:49
love the being bad in x y z didn't
23:51
happen that actually completely
23:53
lose the fact that completely film
23:56
and ninety minutes can only do but so much
23:58
and it's really up
24:00
that is like you're saying like what is the
24:02
spirit of the text and what do the essential
24:05
components that need to be scaffolding
24:07
in see what a movie can and can't do one
24:10
, the things that i've been thinking about what adaptations
24:13
more recently and really the spurred
24:15
by as deciding to do this topic i
24:17
was also thing you have a little fires everywhere
24:19
and i haven't read the the but yeah it's like
24:21
very high on my my list because i have
24:23
a it takes place in shaker heights i grew up
24:25
right next to cigar his incriminate ah
24:28
i'm ah celeb celeste anguilla cleave
24:30
anguilla author on but one
24:32
of the things of the thinking about was with
24:34
that tv adaptation the decision
24:37
to have on the character of me i played
24:39
by kerry washington and a half
24:41
or be a black woman which is not sad
24:43
explicitly and the novel recent that's
24:45
mander standing firm like that yeah i read
24:48
this on and it celeste
24:50
ng has talked about how she didn't like suited
24:52
right
24:53
the
24:54
you know well about like a black woman's
24:56
experience and that sort of circumstances as
24:58
she left the race open but
25:00
i thought it was interesting because it it eat
25:03
it
25:03
it premiered in i think may have twenty
25:05
twenty so it was literally just like
25:07
weeks before so much of
25:09
though so many of the race or conversations that we've been having
25:12
for years really boiled over on
25:14
with the murder of towards floyd sides remember
25:16
thinking there was an interesting suisse
25:19
to really highlight the racial
25:21
differences in in that
25:23
adults he sends and when
25:25
i used to think of adaptation all i thought
25:27
about was taking something that had been
25:29
originally conceived and written and produced
25:32
and whatever in one form and putting it in another
25:34
but what about seeking something and
25:36
also adapting it to the time that it's
25:39
gap that it's going to go public
25:41
in now ray like that like
25:43
it's almost like they had a crystal ball of course like
25:45
me didn't buy it you
25:47
know they were already so many tensions and things
25:49
happening and so many important conversations around race
25:52
and my understanding was that reese witherspoon was looking for
25:54
a project to do with kerry washington so
25:56
they had this idea to do this and
25:58
i and i'm assuming saw things it off
26:00
on it and i just thought that was really
26:02
interesting that they also adopted the
26:04
project for i'm the
26:07
very contemporary context within which
26:09
was going to be re presented to the world
26:11
and i thought that was a really interesting thing to do
26:14
there was also is such an early lockdown
26:17
it likes to think corona phase
26:19
one type yeah like i watch
26:22
because i remember it was within the first
26:24
two weeks of the lockdown i was watching little fires everywhere
26:26
in transferring all of my like this thread
26:28
a bunch of travel sized lotions and and
26:30
shampoo stuff like that because i toward
26:32
a lot enemy has like watching little fires
26:34
everywhere and and i'm putting all
26:37
of my small containers of lotion
26:39
and shampoo into larger container suppose i
26:41
should say , if you well
26:43
is a week ago i was so
26:45
images and that was like a tuesday afternoon
26:49
while hub while will say about the little far
26:51
as ever adaptations as ever read the book and i
26:53
was excited to see they were there were turning it into
26:55
films adding the dimensionality of her blackness
26:58
on it was not something in the books of
27:00
but then also there's this really great line
27:03
where at i'm i'm gonna butcher but risk
27:06
what it says i made good
27:08
choices and kerry washington says you
27:10
had choices to make or something like
27:12
that like this and that that exist
27:15
that is not in the books and that it is
27:17
an added i'm innovation
27:19
on the source material
27:21
right and as he they're they're saying like i
27:23
think my favorite type of
27:25
adaptation is when the race
27:27
matt hum then whore if it's completely
27:30
color by and cast saying or they just
27:32
make it fully black i'm a farm
27:34
girl i love the well as
27:36
an added
27:37
in of the weather evidence i love
27:39
brandy cinderella lane i
27:42
i know like is
27:44
happening for the not the best film
27:47
but it is the best so mean i mean my
27:49
know like and and i felt like the
27:51
element of the multi
27:53
racial casting was amazing and as
27:56
i mean everything was so bad said i could
27:58
totally believe that world and i love
27:59
i think sometimes it doesn't
28:02
go well as it did you don't see the
28:05
they saw colorblind casting of
28:08
oklahoma the broadway play
28:10
no i did not see that
28:12
i had something but i know who's
28:14
in it but i just added really
28:16
it felt a thing of i actually like
28:18
oklahoma like i love runway
28:20
i just i like that way people said it
28:23
, a little strains the
28:26
color like as like couldn't quite get there like
28:28
get there i get what they were trying
28:30
to do and i'm all about equality in equity
28:33
i feel like with sir
28:34
story of that just doesn't quite
28:36
fit
28:37
i know that we five different opinion because they might be
28:39
it like it if it's a story about whiteness
28:41
right wet whiteness be whiteness you know
28:43
in a rainbow as if like that's not
28:46
and maybe sometimes you just don't have to tell that
28:48
story again you know what i mean like movements
28:50
device or he doesn't work with of
28:52
and i mean we duty to be telling stories about
28:54
whiteness but there are ways to do that's like
28:56
a my novel for example i made the conscious
28:58
choice to have only be white people because
29:00
i didn't want to be running characters color in this world
29:03
and it's about murdering toxic
29:05
whiteness it is like some whiteness is what
29:07
the book is about and it's it's not token
29:09
icing said so force for
29:12
a some someone else in there you know zoc
29:14
but like like you're saying can kinda sometimes
29:17
like you can wear a new thing happen
29:19
and your arms yeah but since we're talking about broadway
29:21
and raise i mean that we you know if the hamilton
29:24
of at all rights were not like
29:26
literal legs slave
29:29
owning people and their invert
29:31
the rays and it just me to i'm not going to i'm not taking
29:34
any position on it is just a complicated
29:36
and not often talked about with enough nuance
29:39
brain in hamilton like i'd totally
29:42
access it is because everything
29:44
about the south like the sound
29:46
other than america
29:47
it is completely bats it to me
29:49
and it seems like a fairytale so
29:53
and that way when i i kind of like don't
29:55
you had a history even though i know it is so
29:57
i was kind of a high oh it was
29:59
radical
29:59
hip hop so i mean i loved it when it first
30:02
came out i think looking back
30:04
yard for it's like racially interesting and
30:06
it doesn't
30:06
then rather trivial one let
30:09
us and lesson
30:11
if they were what
30:12
wrapping i be mad that
30:15
why they had to be
30:17
you know in order
30:18
the performing at that level so
30:21
little thing i've actually really number
30:23
sad
30:25
hi how are you never really understood
30:27
doing
30:29
why hamilton exists
30:33
wake what is the point you and
30:35
i haven't seen it so maybe it's
30:38
something that late
30:40
i know and so go ahead go
30:42
ahead should should visit
30:44
like maybe like should see and then i'll get it but
30:46
i've seen a few scenes and i'm just like
30:49
i'm not sure but i really understand the
30:51
purpose of understand running the races here i'd
30:53
i'd oh now it's like sometimes we do that like a
30:55
few years ago at the sight of and ten years ago they
30:57
made and black remake of
30:59
steel magnolias oh yeah
31:01
yeah yeah that
31:04
was i mean it was like on tv i was like to
31:06
add a lot of overhead start
31:08
at start queen latifah as the mother as
31:10
the sally field the character mullen i think the more
31:12
i love the classic so magnolia
31:15
my was like this did not need
31:17
to be done by has also don't
31:20
okay
31:21
how this blasphemy
31:24
cancel me but i don't
31:26
think queen latifah is as good
31:28
as an actress as sally field so
31:30
when that seem when that seem
31:33
when that scene and you know what seen i'm talking about
31:35
if you look at sally fields version
31:37
verses queen latifah version you could
31:39
see queen trying to get there and
31:42
she doesn't quite get their emotionally
31:45
you know with the do like and and and sally
31:47
fields marvelous meat
31:49
is effortless it's it's she goes back
31:51
and forth between i mean it's it's it's
31:53
it's terribly sad moments and then
31:55
there's also funny element to a tooth that
31:58
see to straddles that line so perfectly i
32:00
don't think queen was successful if we
32:02
know sally feel the whole million
32:04
i think like the ideal yeah
32:07
all event is like leave our
32:09
like is is motherhood so
32:11
much of the fire and her greatness comes
32:13
from that experience
32:15
and comes from telling those stories
32:17
so like queen latifah i think is a brilliant
32:20
actress and a lot of ways
32:22
there and she is a mother pay
32:24
as you have bankrolled by like
32:26
that's not at the core of late
32:29
the art that she's trying to make in
32:31
the same way so would make month but she couldn't
32:33
access it in the same way i might i'll never forget sally
32:35
field version i don't remember queens
32:37
i love her i do not remember and
32:40
and i'm a queen to i love living single
32:42
i love you and i t y i love all
32:44
of the things it's just as just at that
32:46
mon ss that the
32:48
are it's a difficult expectation
32:51
because the original was so
32:54
good and so right let's see
32:56
we can make this better as thieves i'm
32:58
that's something super interesting have you ever feel
33:01
like
33:01
when you step into make an adaptation
33:04
the actually really ambitious right egg
33:06
making a fire island movie space on
33:09
one of the best novels of all time
33:11
and ike i have stress my nightmares
33:13
to this day of like being
33:15
put in a role of even like as
33:17
an actor or something and like just knowing
33:20
that i'm failing at it i'm thinking of what's
33:23
, name from ripples drag race the got got
33:26
in in rent live on the live the
33:29
and just couldn't saying just could not
33:31
saying it's and is angel in the red
33:33
musical i'm just like i have stressed
33:35
dreams about being in that situation like saying
33:37
yes to a thing and then realizing
33:39
my crafts will not do the
33:41
source material see justice
33:44
right it is but the thing
33:46
is thing that's why i'm saying it like getting
33:48
into the spirit of it's men and then not necessarily
33:50
having to make not necessarily perfect i'm
33:53
ah adaptation and having the additives
33:55
in itself be another type of work of arts i
33:57
did not know kent's that you were
33:59
abroad the girl i don't know why i didn't
34:01
pick up on that before so i have a question whoa
34:04
wow that's crazy that's like one
34:06
of the biggest things about me like i'm a theater
34:08
kit alright alright in in that respect
34:12
what , been your favorite
34:14
movie adaptation of a musical a
34:17
and is there and musical that you would like
34:19
to see adapted that hasn't been adapted yeah
34:22
whoa okay
34:24
it hard them the movie adaptations
34:27
of musicals a hard to do well
34:29
they really are they really really are i think
34:37
i mean i think the original west side story
34:39
is amazing my think that
34:41
is asses that's like and
34:43
amazing pass and it's an amazing
34:45
show
34:47
i get also shoutout lion king for the
34:49
reverse of that like the show from
34:52
the movie is in saying
34:54
it's like one of my
34:56
they read experiences i've ever had
34:58
on broadway like i'm just sages real
35:00
the get that
35:03
sometimes i don't know sometimes i feel a
35:05
thing senate be adapted by
35:08
hi i actually am excited
35:10
to see the wicked adaptation and an added
35:12
one that i would have said like i would
35:15
be interested in seeing that adapted
35:18
to and it's have a movie and it's happening
35:20
with ariana grande day ah tao
35:23
and i love i saw
35:25
them ariana with each other as
35:27
that it's also campy and ridiculous i
35:29
feel like it really lends itself for like two
35:31
the into a movie but
35:34
bad as it does area to the area
35:36
have
35:37
the alphabet voice
35:40
i think he's not playing alphabet i think
35:42
she's playing
35:43
the going to under vendor yeah
35:45
although he actually sorry on broadway seeds
35:47
yeah so does have a really good i don't think also
35:49
that but glenda
35:50
sir yeah that would man
35:52
hi i'm deathly excited to see that's
35:55
ah
35:59
i actually
35:59
like the hairspray one that came out like
36:02
two thousand psi or two
36:04
thousand
36:04
yeah i'll go until john
36:07
travolta yeah has been
36:09
the as i like sell and now i'm was really
36:11
cute and lie yeah
36:14
i mean
36:15
the so many my mind is like cisco
36:17
and things our solar i mean i realized
36:20
that zac efron was kind of hot
36:22
as the phrase i used at the time
36:25
kind of why was like kind of those
36:27
hot yeah is
36:28
we we can't talk about adaptations
36:31
m broadway without talking about the color
36:33
purple see cause i saw an
36:35
adaptation of a book to a
36:37
musical that is now being adapted
36:39
to a lot of when it like a red
36:41
lives like a it's it's gonna be color purple
36:43
life wow i didn't know
36:45
that but also as i feel
36:47
like and i could be wrong or but i feel like
36:49
it is it is totally an adaptation
36:52
of the book but i feel like it has the movie aspects
36:54
of the film of yeah do them on
36:56
your bill as part of the world building
36:58
of the music library of yeah
37:00
so it's like an adaptation of adaptation movie of a book
37:02
you know and they're all ran of and combo of
37:05
it's amazing
37:06
it is so good eyesight that's one of those
37:08
mans idea that is like really good
37:10
throughout all adaptations like
37:13
i'm nervous or the new ones has it be really scary
37:15
to fuck up a like it really
37:17
that original work and think militia
37:20
it works it in a loving and giving
37:22
but it's so it's you know if if you think
37:24
about like what goes on in that
37:27
look and movie and you think
37:29
broadway musical a dozen a dozen
37:31
it wasn't my brain it doesn't immediately i liked
37:33
or this is totally gonna be amazing mom
37:36
but then you go into it and it
37:38
totally was amazing and it totally works
37:41
and it's like how many good artist or choices
37:43
had to be made brian from be getting to
37:45
and from book to music a cast staying
37:47
to directions to set you
37:50
know n n that is just that when
37:52
it works it works you know and i'm a buddhist unexpected
37:54
when you are like since that sounds
37:57
like like it is not going to be good
37:59
and and you go see in your like floor that is
38:01
just the best yeah right ray i
38:03
was another one or another one of my
38:05
favorite adaptations of you guys have seen
38:07
it the movie
38:09
from a broadway show i'm gentle i
38:13
mean i have an answer that
38:16
is one of my favorite of all time gentle
38:18
been it then i've seen i've never i've
38:20
mean i was i've never seen this the play
38:22
i've only seen the race i don't know if know if
38:24
what was promised if it was the now that he's and now
38:27
but that's the maze i was and is
38:29
it's just so
38:30
oh god i think i think
38:32
the people that are adapting just have to be
38:34
really have to take i'm really tough
38:36
choices of a is fan what
38:38
is take out and they really i
38:40
feel like everyone as be super line for the
38:42
art to still be at that level
38:45
the eye on my end to that to that extent
38:48
hi again personal opinion excoriate
38:51
me council me whatever i don't
38:53
think please make for the best adaptation
38:55
and to sell because because
38:58
i wanna see
38:59
the
39:01
is it i wanted to
39:03
be able to use all of the tools of the medium
39:06
right three and i'm so thinking but you know and when
39:08
we were in initial talks to turn food for
39:10
thought it's like some kind of television show or
39:12
a it was like i wanted to be more than
39:14
what we do but with cameras on in
39:16
our right to be different than that because it's
39:18
not utilizing the full potential of
39:21
television is it's just the for people
39:23
talking linux is like you can actually
39:25
just listen to the show the
39:28
end to that degree i mean i think about stuff
39:30
and so they were bad because the source material
39:32
is quite good but it's a with for
39:34
example like martinis black bottom
39:37
or senses it when it was just so
39:39
clearly a straight up like
39:42
the the are do anything else to explore
39:44
the medium that it was being trans they didn't use
39:46
any relic i didn't i
39:48
did know that my radio like bottom was a plate
39:50
as i have read it before but even
39:53
if i didn't have a like this is a straight up play like
39:55
is a jelly animal farm incest and like
39:57
moving like a different scenes or whatever integral and in
39:59
an uproar
39:59
the like you are confined to the stage
40:02
right and that's why yeah answers takes
40:04
place in one house and marini like bottom
40:06
takes place in one club and
40:09
and so it's sort of
40:10
the i've if it can it can feel
40:12
you notice the convention swears in a play
40:15
is to sort that at has to be that way
40:17
in their ways to sort of break those walls
40:19
down and stuff but you definitely notice
40:21
it in a movie when when you're like this
40:23
is i feel like i'm watching a
40:25
film version of the place was actually kind of
40:27
it would be into i would be more interested in that
40:29
right like actually filming at
40:32
the play and room and releasing it and releasing
40:34
it that way i think i
40:36
definitely think it's a little bit of a to holler order
40:39
but i'm a lot of of a lot of different minds on
40:41
it cause i really loved i already
40:43
have black bottom as a movie but yeah i
40:46
was like a sort of like m to seeing the play
40:48
by
40:49
like this is not like when i was
40:51
in adenauer me be high school or
40:53
maybe middle school and tyler perry was first
40:56
coming up and doing like his musicals
40:58
and plays like on the to answer guess my
41:00
mom would get v h asses
41:03
of at like gets her oh my god same
41:05
loves his own they were just there was this it
41:08
it , as an aggro the filming at
41:11
at hand held device in the theater
41:13
and selling at man when i was right
41:15
so i kept thinking of like those
41:18
moments when i was watching lane
41:20
markings by bottom or when i was watching spend
41:22
says and i would obviously this is an enormous upgrade
41:24
from that like that's a huge and salt maybe some parents
41:27
but i guess because it didn't do more
41:29
with the new medium i still
41:31
like thought about a little bit arm and
41:33
so that was really interesting to meet but there's
41:35
this movie that i watched this was a
41:37
long time ago to this was in college i think it was
41:39
cop it's called proof and it and had
41:41
meryl streep and a high the sky jake
41:43
greenberg and i think uma
41:47
thurman and apps and that was also
41:49
film adaptation of what was originally was play
41:51
and that's all like they really like made really film
41:54
like it didn't feel like they just ah
41:57
you know just meet at luck way
42:00
the play on cameras
42:03
and then i thought about i'm
42:05
kerry washington actually did an adaptation of
42:07
a broadway play the she was in and forty nine team
42:09
called american science where does all about
42:12
yeah black woman it to
42:14
people whose in in in a result relationship
42:16
with a white husband who as a cop like a higher
42:19
level cops and on
42:21
see that a police station and they're looking for her
42:23
side an arm and that furthest
42:25
as her and police officers and on
42:27
her husband comes and then there's all those moments of
42:29
them assuming you know is like a
42:31
year of it added the us anyway i
42:34
watched watched and the whole plane
42:37
the whole reason why they made that as
42:40
a netflix adaptation film adaptation was
42:42
so that more people could see it then
42:45
you know could obviously get to broadway and had a relatively
42:47
limited ryan's you know bribery tickets
42:49
are expensive and so they wanted is
42:51
this to be available to everyone and so there was
42:53
no interest in really meeting
42:55
in a film beyond that
42:58
i'm and so watching that with that in mind
43:00
and knowing that it was sort of i to stand in for
43:02
the broadway experience i thought was also really
43:04
interesting and different an anti that
43:06
yeah yeah i am and another one site one
43:08
more don't talk about because this is actually a little bit of
43:10
my my billie i'd very interested in like
43:12
three plays more so than musicals and how they're adopted
43:15
is august osage county so
43:17
i follow me right after he graduated from
43:19
i am i say it was phenomenal like
43:21
insane insane insane insane gorgeous
43:24
gorgeous gorgeous like play the
43:27
and then the the film came out
43:29
and that was another time i was like they'd be
43:31
like have made the ssl like they made
43:34
the michelle that was the intent that was the goal
43:36
and i salt lake it's sort of did
43:38
what an adaptation is supposed to do
43:41
thou i'm a good one i've
43:43
a question for ya
43:45
our i do we need more adaptations
43:48
of or modernizations of shakespeare
43:51
or of stay and are the things that have sort
43:53
of been adapted to desks that
43:55
are usually a part of the you
43:57
know the white
43:59
western
43:59
quote unquote literary canon the
44:02
interesting stuff
44:04
i mean i think and we don't need
44:06
them but i think sometimes when they're
44:08
well done
44:09
enjoy it like i enjoy
44:11
it little women even though there's been like fifteen
44:13
of those motherfuckers or rated
44:15
and you didn't you like a clueless re
44:18
re re written by
44:20
i think that's more interesting but
44:22
i think that serve first
44:24
are getting things made lake would this is like
44:26
when i go into meeting thoroughly like what are you looking to
44:28
adapt what are you looking to adapt their like as
44:30
felix so many people are at this point and
44:34
, not not people the investors
44:36
that make up read zach bone
44:38
of hollywood's are are
44:41
less likely at this point to
44:43
take a risk on an original idea rather
44:45
than something that is eyepiece that has
44:48
been an article that has proven at least
44:50
some interests and i think going back to sort
44:52
of think the shakespeare's stuff i mean ultimately
44:57
good storytelling they
44:59
knew air and that that is
45:02
did the that these works has
45:05
sarah vaughan have survived to a certain extent
45:08
is because of the conventions of
45:10
story that they inhabit
45:12
right arm it but like i
45:14
think you could bare bones play to take any
45:18
shakespeare
45:19
the
45:20
play or into the
45:23
more prominent ones and like just lay that in
45:26
a contemporary contacts and you would have a new stories
45:29
right the most interesting i don't know i think
45:31
how many hide some stories
45:33
are there there's like basically seven types of
45:36
stories i think lakes it's a kind of
45:38
actually limited when you advise them are
45:40
main path adam and it
45:43
, think having an original i mean it's this
45:45
is actually i was thinking about the other
45:47
another question which was like is there something that seems
45:50
like an adaptation to you the actually was
45:52
original material and i kept thinking
45:54
of nice out which it seems like such
45:56
an assertive you
45:58
know forgive screaming august
46:00
races but agatha christie novel or
46:02
something like that mean it was a who done it it seemed
46:04
like it was a book but it was absolutely
46:07
and original idea and i think that's the
46:09
reason that people responded i mean i did
46:11
like knives out i think the reason that got em
46:13
such high praise was because
46:15
it was actually an original idea that felt like
46:17
an ip just to be real shady
46:21
that name names who are literary
46:23
writers who section is bad
46:26
because it's just trying to be a mini series
46:31
well as annie dillard would say
46:33
says when she's reading
46:35
a author who's clearly
46:38
gunning for an adaptation i smell a
46:40
rat smell a rat
46:43
v are being very quiet
46:45
over there you
46:47
know
46:50
before i was employ
46:52
this i made such on and
46:54
on this quest adams the are you
46:57
learning are you wordings it said not
46:59
speak your mind all the time everywhere
47:02
you know sometimes my
47:05
voice doesn't always the to be included
47:08
wow wow
47:13
you learn in your thirties
47:16
wow that i mean d i
47:18
am i am astonished emre as
47:20
a proud maybe otterness i
47:22
think we're not going to name names but it is
47:25
definitely something like like the iowa
47:27
voice like when you pick up a short story collection
47:29
or novel and you're like this person with
47:31
iowa and you will get the back cover and indeed
47:33
they did go to iowa i do this i
47:35
do think there's something noticeable
47:38
about the stories that are set
47:40
up
47:41
there be
47:42
adapt the you know that are basically the
47:44
novel as ip generation and i don't actually don't
47:46
think it's riders false or this is
47:48
how publishing makes money
47:50
yeah like one of them you know and so there's
47:53
a whole pipeline there's a there's the novel
47:55
sue ah
47:57
i get the tv miniseries
47:59
the pipeline and now horse riders are
48:02
poor and they need money and they're writing
48:04
into that ip generation space and
48:06
god god bless them i respect to the hustle
48:08
yeah i'm not i'm never mad
48:11
at a writer chasing a pay tax by
48:13
exactly i also when it comes
48:16
to vs beat highs
48:18
that is so prominent at this point
48:20
it is it's it's like almost
48:23
wrote if you just focus on telling
48:25
a good story there's
48:27
a good to and your book get some attention there's
48:29
a good chance of there will be enforced
48:32
may in that world so
48:35
the be writing literary fiction for
48:37
that purpose like best have caught the middle line
48:39
and write a screenplay the guy if now
48:41
i realize your home i write a screenplay
48:44
you'll get more money guys i'm like why last
48:46
time i guess that i would say
48:49
right the article with the idea
48:52
that you are going to adapt to yourself
48:54
there is bob married mcginty view
48:56
and i have talked a lot about that
48:58
and there is bar that's it that's it
49:00
and that's a little bit of a different things i'll never
49:02
forget the remember where
49:04
net pressure space on the novel push by sapphire
49:06
came out meaning that met when the film
49:08
adaptation came out and on
49:10
one of the things she kept talking about as that lead the annals
49:13
was teasing her for years to get
49:15
the option to do to do that some
49:17
because for many many years she was
49:19
like i didn't write this to be a farm i don't want
49:21
it to be a thelma side intended to be a sound
49:24
and i'm not as i don't i want how to control
49:26
that it's gonna be good the and and is
49:28
that was very important to her
49:31
up you know up until a certain plane i'm
49:33
when he convinced her then
49:36
i always ate is always think about that because
49:38
i truly don't know well you know
49:40
one of the when i'm in a conversation from going
49:42
to sell if i wasn't gonna one and adaptation
49:45
or what that does either still now i am i have
49:47
no idea yeah tell me that the
49:49
whole me about that is that is the direct deposit
49:52
right and and it and you and you get to a
49:54
really difficult choices
49:56
between
49:58
the artistic control the
50:00
hands what your direct deposit with
50:02
like
50:03
and you know i think it in in a
50:05
world with some a scarcity for creative professionals
50:08
it's hard to fault people for putting their financial
50:10
security or front of mine especially
50:12
if they're a person for whom that you know that paycheck
50:15
can change their life and allow
50:17
them to have stability i don't certainly don't
50:19
search stats and all but it
50:21
is also you know
50:23
it can get in the way of the art being
50:26
as good as it could possibly be and that's
50:28
what you said before job i like making
50:30
sure of how place is adapting
50:33
for example color purple tubes from a book
50:35
to a movie to a shell of how
50:37
many good decisions had to be made
50:39
yeah you know and the site at every point
50:42
there needs to be i
50:46
mean i just in my limited experience
50:48
in this world executives
50:51
are do not want things that
50:53
stand out you know they want things
50:55
that ready for months and
50:58
said to make something at all is all miracle
51:00
but to make something good is just else
51:03
addict that you're
51:05
always gonna say that the in and that degree i
51:07
mean it's another thing that was so
51:09
good i thought it must have been adapted in it definitely
51:11
wasn't was everything everywhere all
51:13
at once and demeaning was kind
51:16
of zeit guys the in the sense that likes the seekers
51:18
the daniels initially were researching
51:20
the concept of a multi verse in twenty
51:23
ten and it's it's interesting because you
51:25
know in the years since we've gotten
51:29
you know for hid morty and we've gotten
51:32
a multiverse of madness and it seems
51:34
like and spiderman into the into the
51:36
spider verse or whatever it seems like there is some
51:38
kind of consensus about
51:41
looking to other worlds i think maybe because
51:43
this one is so city but i'm not an
51:45
utter yes been as as you had
51:47
to the hour and a you go i
51:49
was a killer i want to want to end this combo
51:52
by talking about moonlights arm
51:54
which of course that is it talk about
51:56
a successful adaptation of a play isn't
51:58
arm and no i'm friends
52:01
of friends with tourette's he
52:03
wasn't involved in the writing of the script the
52:05
adaptation are all he sort of allowed the
52:07
source material to be used you know
52:09
and and then it was made by a straight
52:11
person but how many amazing
52:14
decisions you know it's like to think we talk about with representation
52:16
like is a straight person the best person to make
52:18
moonlight maybe not a whole we spotted
52:20
they make a shit ton of fucking good decisions
52:23
losing to adapt the fuck out
52:25
of that plays into what is
52:27
a film that is visually stunning
52:30
acted incredibly well there
52:32
you know if so please see get
52:34
like it a soap it is no fucking
52:36
miami it is so that place
52:39
when you know the play his onstage
52:41
so is not necessary going to have that our van
52:43
and one where idea
52:46
would never have thought it was an adaptation if i if
52:49
i hadn't to somehow known that draws
52:51
most as my it was happening by
52:53
his ass i actually talk about moonlight
52:55
a lot when i am having conversations with like
52:57
writers have a few times about riding across the friends
53:00
be highs
53:02
late august the edo
53:05
the mayor was the source material and barry jenkins
53:07
as far as we know of the now is
53:09
add the heterosexual mans by
53:11
it the that is
53:13
why and and there are many
53:16
examples out there i'm through
53:18
you know decades of that but that's one
53:20
really great example of someone
53:22
who doesn't necessarily share every identity
53:25
that's at the center and the core of the
53:27
art and still late
53:29
i do not think there was a better
53:31
person to do that some outside and
53:33
like like i do not think there was i think it
53:36
should have been barry jenkins was look
53:38
when he dared say mean it's extraordinary
53:40
cel it's
53:43
a reminder for people also to spend it as
53:45
possible like very there's
53:47
in a lot of amount of care and talents
53:50
and nuance and and and
53:52
all these different things that have to go into working
53:54
across difference really well and do and really
53:56
doing it's ss and it can be done
54:02
no but
54:04
my i admit
54:07
admit oh yes oh yes and
54:10
to the the cherry on top to sleep
54:12
then you
54:13
then do
54:14
i'm okay you
54:18
know when you're just like
54:19
current out from scrolling and
54:22
yeah pops up and your display
54:24
let me just try this said
54:26
yeah i'm sick of going through pages
54:29
, pages of contents so that happened
54:31
to us an eye on apple
54:33
tv and we were
