Three days with Gunplay | Grantland

Three days with Gunplay | Grantland:

Hip-hop desires an extremist, a wild man, unapologetic and ruthless. The more an artist like Drake expands into a mannered, nuanced icon of the genre, the more we’ll crave bluntness, the more we’ll crave id. Ol’ Dirty Bastard is the greatest madman in hip-hop history, and since his premature death, a succession has proceeded steadily, with Waka Flocka Flame the most recent carrier of the title.

If Gunplay is to be the next great crazed vigilante, we want him capable of violence, but not actually violent. We want him self-aware, but not too consciously crafting image. He has to be real, but not too real.

Steven Soderbergh's State Of Cinema Talk | Deadline.com:

Now, I’m going to attempt to show how a certain kind of rodent might be smarter than a studio when it comes to picking projects. If you give a certain kind of rodent the option of hitting two buttons, and one of the buttons, when you touch it, dispenses food 40% of the time, and one of the buttons when you touch it dispenses food 60% percent of the time, this certain kind of rodent very quickly figures out never to touch the 40% button ever again. So when a studio is attempting to determine on a project-by-project basis what will work, instead of backing a talented filmmaker over the long haul, they’re actually increasing their chances of choosing wrong. Because in my view, in this business which is totally talent-driven, it’s about horses, not races. I think if I were going to run a studio I’d just be gathering the best filmmakers I could find and sort of let them do their thing within certain economic parameters. So I would call Shane Carruth, or Barry Jenkins or Amy Seimetz and I’d bring them in and go, ok, what do you want to do? What are the things you’re interested in doing? What do we have here that you might be interested in doing? If there was some sort of point of intersection I’d go: Ok, look, I’m going to let you make three movies over five years, I’m going to give you this much money in production costs, I’m going to dedicate this much money on marketing. You can sort of proportion it how you want, you can spend it all on one and none on the other two, but go make something.
