>> OH MY GOSH, THIS SAY PASSION PROJECT, SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON FOR THREE YEAR, LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA IS THE SPEER
HEAD, ABOUT THIS MUSICAL KID COMPOSER CALLED JONATHAN LARSON
WHO WROTE RENT AND A MUSICAL CALLED TICKETMASTER BOOM WHICH
IS KIND OF AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL, HE STRATEGICALLY PASSED AWAY ON THE
AGE OF 35 ON THE EVE OF THE FIRST PREVIEW OF RENT OFF
BROADWAY.
AND IT IT IS A REMARKABLE COSMIC COINCIDENCE BECAUSE THIS MOVIE
THAT WE-- IS ALL ABOUT HIS SENSE THAT HE IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
AND HIS SENSE THAT HE HAS SO MANY SONGS, I THINK WE ALL NEED
THIS WORLD SHALL SHALL WORLD WITH A-- THAT FEELS PRETTY
UNIVERSAL FOR ALL OF US, HE WAS SO ACUTELY AWARE OF IT IT.
AND THIS MUSICAL IS ABOUT TURNING 30 AND HAVING ACHIEVED
MOOING.
BUT AS FAR AS HE WAS CONCERNED.
AND IT IT IS REALLY ABOUT THE URGENCY OF LIFE, THE SACREDNESS
OF LIFE, HOW QUICKLY IT IS HERE AND HOW QUICKLY IT IT IS GONE
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS HOW DO WE LIVE, WHAT IS THE BEST MOST
SOULFUL MEANINGFUL WAY TO LIVE.
HIS WORD IS NOW GETTING MORE LIFE BECAUSE WE'VE MANAGED TO
HONOR HIM AND KEEP HIS MUSIC TO THE WORLD.
I AM SO PROUD OF THE FILM.
AND OF LIN-MANUEL, HIS FIRST MOVIE DIRECTING AND THE CAST IS
INCREDIBLE.
IT IS LIKE-- I COULD WRAP MYSELF IN A BLANKET OF TICKETMASTER
BOOM FOREVER AND I-- OF T IT ICK, TICK BOOM FOREVER.
