Oh, that would be a dog
because everywhere you go, under your feet...
That's Vivian and Templeton. Oh yes it is.
(gentle whistling)
Come on, Templeton and Vivian,
we're all going into the meeting.
We have our 'Yellow Submarine' pictures
since you have to have The Beatles everywhere.
They're in my office. They're all over the office.
And that was a gift to us by our friend [inaudible]
who runs Fox.
He pulled it from their archives.
This is our wall that I love.
Our friend who's an artist, John Rosen, made all of these.
I love this one.
"Upon the departure of her beloved,
"through countless nights of wheel and woe,
Cassandra has at last succeeded in crying her eyes out."
I love him.
This is our poster wall, actually.
And when we first started the company
which actually started in my living room,
so this like,
totally goes to show you if you keep working
your dreams can come true.
And as much as this is an office, it's an epicenter.
Every person here has a free outlet to express themselves,
find books, TV shows, scripts, movies,
all these different types of things.
You know, we come up with songs for ideas for scenes
in movies we're doing.
We work with great writers,
and we have our wonderful development women,
which you'll meet in a minute.
And,
you need a place for all the ideas
and the creativity that stirs inside of you.
You need an outlet, and this is that place.
So, when we first started the company,
we didn't have any posters yet
because we hadn't produced any films yet.
And, now we have a few great posters
that we're really proud of.
And there's something funny about that.
I was rehanging some pictures on my wall
because I just had my office painted,
and I used to be so embarrassed of like,
you know,
posters or anything that seemed self-congratulatory,
but then you get a little older
and you make a few more accomplishments
and you realize that getting older is about having more time
to appreciate what you've done,
and, like, not being embarrassed about showing,
you know, the things that you've accomplished
and without being self-congratulatory,
it's a really good thing to put up around you,
what you've done, because it gives you a sense of
courage to, like, continue.
So this is our wall. We're very proud of it.
There's our ‘Charlie’s [Angels]’ poster,
[Nancy Juvonen] and I worked on ‘Ever After,’
we worked on the 'The Wedding Singer,'
and we did those to get to know Fox
and we didn’t take any credit, you know,
we just worked with everyone really hard
to get that movie up and running
and they were so nice to us
and let us put in our input
and you know,
deal with script and casting and directors
and they were so gracious to us
and then they let us go and make 'Never Been Kissed'
because we proved ourselves.
This is my office, actually.
I sit at this desk and do my work
and stimulate myself and make my phone calls
and make my plans and read the scripts
and work with writers.
And this is a really important haven for me
and I've got plants in here,
which is important, feeding me oxygen.
There's our 'Charlie's Angels' dolls.
And there’s, I have my little books
and pictures on the wall.
These are etchings that my uncle Lionel did,
actually, oh,
there's the,
this is the Amtel machine,
and the Amtel machine is genius
because you can be on a phone call,
on a conference call,
and be like, “Oh my god, I need that note
"to make that really intelligent point."
You’re like, “Quick! Give me that note.”
And then you type it in,
people let you know someone's here, someone's on the phone.
The Amtel machine rules.
And this is our little wall of Nancy and I's
like, little accomplishments,
I used to be so embarrassed about having up,
like, "Oh no, that's so uncool."
You get older, it’s like, still uncool, but do you it anyway.
And we did an animated special,
actually, and it got nominated for an Emmy,
and that was so exciting for us.
Oh, Linda and Ali are missing,
but this is where our development ladies sit
and they are the women who meet with writers.
They read spec scripts, trying to discover great writers,
we hear pitches with them for movie and television ideas.
For example,
we all sat in what is the war room,
which we'll take you into in a minute.
And,
we heard the pitch for 'Duplex' by our writer Larry Doyle.
And we heard the idea,
knew that Ben [Stiller]’s company wanted to partner up on it
and see how the script would come out.
And we all sat there
and, you know, collectively decided that it sounded great.
And Larry was wonderful,
we respected his work and read his previous stuff.
And let's go forward with this.
And now we're making the film,
so,
everything kind of starts here in this part of the office,
which is great.
Oh, I have to show you the - one of the walls in the kitchen.
So cheesy, I know,
but I love this wall because
we sort of like honoring the people that we love.
What movies have inspired us,
what people, you know,
as entertainers and artists.
- [Lady behind Camera] Kristy.
- Gotta have Kristy McNichol on the wall
because she is major
and 'Little Darlings' is the best movie ever
and Kristy McNichol rocks.
We have Al Pacino,
the best picture of Barbra Streisand,
Jim Carrey,
Dustin Hoffman,
Sidney Poitier,
and Clint Eastwood, Mick Jagger, Bruce Lee,
Barry Gibb,
John Denver,
Audrey Hepburn.
And there's my grandfather, who I love so much.
That's actually him getting his face mask put on
because he always used to wear prosthetic noses
and he would play, you know, Svengali
and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
and he acted like these crazy wild characters
and I know exactly why I have this need to run around
and act like a scary monster
because he infiltrated that with me.
(Drew giggles)
And he's all over this office because we love my family.
And I know I do this because of them.
And I like to honor them all the time
and I feel them watching me, everything I do,
and I just want to make them proud.
And Nan, my partner, who,
is the reason that we're able to have this company together,
because it really takes both of us
to figure it out and run it
and we share a creative brain
and she does a 50 percent side that's also very organized
and thoughtful and meticulous
and a great,
you know,
democracy and leader.
She's wonderful.
And I'm hopefully aspiring to be all those things
and I'm also the emotional weird actor, so, that's fun too.
And I like, you know,
trying to have a place where people can
do all the things that they dream to do.
Thanks, you guys. - [Crew] Thank you.
