UNIVERSE BASED ON YOUR CHARACTER IN "ROUGE ONE."

YOU DO I.
OKAY.
HE LEFT.
YOU KNOW.
>> James: NOW YOU'RE REBORN.
>> NOW HE KNOWS.
I'M BACK IN THE COOL LIST OF PEOPLE.
>> James: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS.
YOU DIRECTED YOUR FIRST MOVIE "WILDLIFE."
IT'S A BRILLIANT MOVIE.
YOU DIRECTED AND JAKE IS INCREDIBLE.
ZOE YOUR PARTNER WAS HERE AND SAID SHE STEPPED IN TO WRITE THE
SCREEN PLAY BECAUSE YOUR FIRST DRAFT WAS TERRIBLE.
IS THAT HOW YOU REMEMBER THIS GOING DOWN?
>> SO, WE ACTUALLY, WE HAD A LITTLE TIFF AFTER SHE CAME ON
YOUR SHOW.
SHE SAID I TOLD THE STORY.
THE AUDIENCE WERE LIKE, AHHH.
I WAS LIKE, WHAT.
I DON'T WANT PITY.
I DON'T WANT, NO.
SO, I GET TO TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY NOW.
>> James: PUT IT OUT THERE.
>> THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE FILM "WILDLIFE" I WROTE NOT IN SCREEN
PLAY FORMAT, ON PURPOSE.
I HAVE READ SCRIPTS AND I DON'T WANT TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS WHAT
IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE.
IT'S TECHNICALLY A SHOOTING SCRIPT.
ZOE GREW UP WITH TWO SCREENWRITER PARENTS.
SHE READ IT AND WAS LIKE IT'S NOT A SCREEN PLAY.
I WAS LIKE YES IT IS.
SHE SAID, TO IT'S NOT.
I SAID, YES IT IS.
SHE HAD NOTES ON EVERY PAGE.
WE FOUGHT.
SHE WAS BASICALLY LIKE IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO TAKE A PASS ON
THIS THEN US FIGHT OVER NOTES.
I SAID, GREAT.
I THINK I WAS HOPING TO PAY THE HER IN.
SHE'S A GOOD WRITER AND ONE OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE I KNOW.
THAT WAS FUN TO DO.
WE HAD A FEW MOMENTS.
>> James: HER RETELLING IS NOT THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
RAO.YOU'RE RIGHT.
MAGGIE, YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIRECT YOUR FIRST FEATURE.
ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT IT?
>> I FEEL A LOT OF THINGS.
I FEEL SCARED, IF I'M HONEST.
I ALSO FEEL LIKE IT'S SORT OF WHAT WE SAID BACK STAGE.
IT'S INEVITABLE NOW.
IT'S LIKE I DO FEEL LIKE I'M A STORYTELLER.
I HAVE BEEN A STORYTELLER AND USED ACTING.
I DON'T FEEL PROUD OF THIS.
UNTIL NOW I DIDN'T FEEL ENTITLED TO DIRECT.
I FOAL LIKE IT'S TIME.
>> James: HAVE YOU THOUGHT HOW YOU WILL SAY "ACTION."
>> I PLAY A PORN DIRECTOR ON TV.
I GET TO SAY ACTION ALL THE TIME.
>> James: LET'S HEAR DANO SAY.
>> AND ACTION.
>> SOME PEOPLE SAY LIKE WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
>> NO.
>> WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
James: I THINK I JUST SHOUT.
I JUST SHOUT "ACT."
TURN OVER, SOUND, SPEED, "ACT"!
>> I DON'T THINK . SO.
James: TRY IT DON'T RULE IT OUT UNTIL YOU TRY IT RULE LIKE
DANO.
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS THIS
EVENING.
>> YES, I HOPE SO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO, YA ANY OF OUR GUESTS REALLY OR ALL
OF THEM.
IF YOU, IF YOU EVER REMEMBER A FILM THAT YOU KNOW DOESN'T EXIST
DO YOU ANGER YOURSELF IN KNOWING THAT THE GREATEST FEELING YOU
EVER HAD WAS FROM SOMETHING THAT NEVER WAS?
>> CAN I ANSWER IN SPANISH?
>> SURE.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> HUH-UH James: ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
THANK YOU, MAGGIE, DIEGO, PAUL.
