Congratulations guys Avengers Endgame has already broken records.
It's broken the pre-ticket sales record. How do you feel about that?
I mean it's exciting, I mean it's great to know that people are really this passionate about
these stories that they care this much about these characters and this is,
this is the grand finale, it's the big conclusion if you've been following
along for the first 20 movies. We're calling it the Infinity Saga, all those
films together and this is the final chapter that book and will bring to
close the the story of the original six Avengers.
So we were left with a huge cliffhanger or a huge event that happened at the end of the last movie.
How do you kind of take that story and then move it forward to here?
Well we don't want to talk any specifics other than the fact that as filmmakers we like to be
disruptive with the choices that we make and to surprise audiences. We're most
compelled as artists when we write ourselves into a corner and then we have
to figure out how to get out of that corner, and I think that's what you know
was you know why audience is so viscerally connected with what we did at
the end of that movie well in general terms because I know we don't want to
give anything away but now it for each specific character how is their story
created and how are do you stick how would how are you trying staying true to
each character as you move along three of the Marvel Universe can we you know
no specifics but I think that like you like the characters all have very
complex arcs that have been painted over the 21 films and I think that you know
Captain America in particular as a character we've been working with on for
movies now and I think you know the the mission is when disruptive things happen
in the story when you know there's real stakes and and and it's how they respond
to that and the end of infinity war is so unique about it is never I don't
think ever been done of that scale we're in a commercial movie where the heroes
lost and so moving forward how does that affect them that's that's certainly an
essential question and you guys have worked together for many years not
only on movies but in on television how does that relationship work who are you
right now it must be shorthand for you guys yeah I mean we've been doing it for
a long time we found our way into filmmaking together and we just kept
going um I don't know I think maybe for every directing team it's different you
know just in the same way that every director
individual director is different from another individual director it's all
just a function of process and personality and how you like to work
what your tastes are we have a huge depth of shared experiences both life
experiences in cinema experiences so you know we have a great shorthand with one
another but um you know film at it's at its essence is a collaborative medium
many ways so it's really just you know our relationship is based on the
essential dynamic of how movies are made we also have a sister show tomato
Hollywood come bait in Hollywood teen edition it's about the careers in the
entertainment industry you kind of just touched on on a few points so did you
guys go to college for this job and how did you find your way actually here
directing huge superhero movies we did we did go to college for it what's
interesting is that we actually made a movie before we went to school for many
films we ant went to Columbia Graduate and I went to UCLA graduate both of us
for film but we had shot a film first and then use that film to get it
ourselves into film school and then about two years into film school we got
discovered and a film festival that original movie that was shot that
discovered it a film festival by Steven Soderbergh and and he offered to make
our next film or help produce our next movie and at which point we promptly
dropped out of film school so that's our road was you know one that was really
made possible by the benevolence of silver and what advice would you have
for any young people who want to be directors we always say you know you
just gotta keep shooting you know the the only way figure out how to do it
today there's a lot of technology that's available really reasonable technology
it's in many people's pockets you know the things they can use to make movies
and it's just that's the that's the key is to do the work filmmaking is a crap
no matter what you're doing whether you're directing whether you're writing
whether you're acting designing etc the only way you learn a craft is by doing
it Soderberg actually just shot a film entirely on an iphone so you know it's
available it's out there the technology is fantastic you can distribute it on
the YouTube like it's very different than when we started making movies so
this is the conclusion of the big Avengers as you mentioned in the
beginning should we still expect to see a mid credit and end credit scene we
can't answer that we're just gonna make people sit in the theater and watch hey
