"Oh my god! There's actually a script in here" 🤣🤣🤣
$5 says it's just The Bee Movie script with a different cover
I thought that’s gotta be just a block of paper lol
its all written by chatGPT! 🤨
And Colbert's response: I'm going to give it to JJ!! lol
i am so curious on what that script is???
Never watched a Spielberg interview so I was surprised by how warm, kind, and thoughtful he was. Very down to earth despite being arguably the most successful and one of the most talented directors ever.
There's a great documentary on HBO that came out in 2017 called "Spielberg", definitely worth a watch.
And it still pisses me off to this day that “The Color Purple” didn’t win an Oscar.
@@mikescarborough9196 Ya that one still makes my blood boil. And you know what really pisses me off more, they did it to him twice with Saving Private Ryan.
Drew Barrymore adores him, and on a recent episode of her show, told stories of how kind and protective he was of her during the filming of ET. That was so nice to hear, as many child actors have not been treated so well. At 6 years old, she thought ET was real.
@@SpanishEclectic Yeah, through tears she called him the only person who cared for her. It was heartbreaking.
Spielberg exclaiming "OMG there's actually a script!" made me BURST out with laughter! He must watch Colbert enough to know he is great with improvisation and funny bits, so that he was genuinely surprised this wasn't one.
To be honest, if the script is good, I'll watch it! Hell give me that feeling again when I was 11 in the cinema in 1982! Have me bawling my eyes out again....Yes sir. When one grows old, all one wants is to feel young again.
"Oh my God, there's actually a script here!"
🤣🤣🤣
This just a fun interview. Thank you Steven Spielberg and Stephen Colbert 😊
Also thoughtful and interesting.
I love that Steven is still such a kid! My favorite filmmaker of all time.
Every time Stephen talks to an intellectual artist (Mr. Spielberg, GRR Martin etc), being one himself, he just takes us to another world. It's just fireworks.
It's so true
He's a sci-fi nerd just like the rest of us. :) I finally felt 'known' after all these yrs. when he and Paul Giamatti geeked out on classic SF novels. I'd never seen that happen on a tv chat show before.
@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 I think I missed that one. Thanks!!
Yes, and I feel the same when he talks with someone about spirituality, loss, etc
I can't even imagine how excited the late show writers were at the chance to pitch E.T. 2 movie titles and write an actual script for Steven Spielberg.
Do they use ChatGPT?
🤣🤣
Yes, I was wondering that myself, whether a bunch of Late Show writers wrote that script, or if Stephen actually wrote it himself. Wouldn't surprise me. He is a huge LotR fan and knows tons of details about the lore, so he is a fantasy guy. Could be possible that he spent a few days writing that script.
Spielberg wrote not only a pitch but even a synopsis of ET2 himself in the late 80s
@@credoratat3272 Was the answer "No, never" a lie?
I love Spielberg's lack of pretension. He seems like a genuinely kind and smart guy.
He’s the greatest ever and yet so humble and kindhearted.
He strikes me as kind of sad, too, in the prior 2 segments. . .
When you are that successful, you don't need to pretend anything.
"omg, there's actually a script here"
I'm sure that's the case
Amazing that we are seeing the beginning of ET 2's preproduction right in front of our eyes
He is not lying though, i honestly think it would have been the highest grossing opening weekend of all time
Love Spielberg's laugh, don't think I've heard him laugh before
He's a pedophile.
No one's mentioned it. But I love the Star Wars arcade cabinet in the background. Steven and George are just such good old friends man. Right up there with some of the greatest creative friendships like Tolkien and CS Lewis, and Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
How the fuck would you possibly know the status of their friendship
@@alainportant6412 you don't need to curse at me about it. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have collaborated on multiple projects over the last few decades. It is public knowledge they are friends. I was just pointing out a cool arcade cabinet in the background, that just happened to be based on one of George's movies instead of Steven's. Spoilers Jurassic Park Arcade cabinets exist. Spielberg could just as easily own one of those but instead he owns a star wars one and it's in a prominent enough place for it to be seen in the background during an interview
@@darkhorsedouglas4789 I am sorry but CZcams recently reinstated the ability for people to say the F word in the comments.
So, I will be cursing for as long as those startup kids will let me do so. As for the remainder of your argument, I do not know those people personnally. However, as plus-size billionaire bearded boomers working in the Hollywood district, I would suppose that you are rith. They are friend and, and shall it be sad.
@@darkhorsedouglas4789 * said.
@@alainportant6412 I'm so confused about what you're trying to spell correct me on. None of my sentences included said or a misspelling of said.
Fun fact, a kid in a Yoda mask appears in ET in the trick or treating scene at the beginning, and ET's species appears in The Phantom Menace in the Galactic Senate chamber.
And John Williams did music for both
This was an awesome experience!! Thanks to the Steven's and John Williams for this interview!!!
Please do a live reading of the whole script for ET 2 with Spielberg!
Steven's comment about the UFO sightings possibly being "us" coming back from the future to document what happened at the end of the 20th C into the 21st just illustrates his skill as a story teller. Wow.
That was amazing...I love that theory!
It's not a new idea from his mind.. there are actual UFO encounters like Rendlesham forest in the UK where one of the military personal who had a sighting shared that the beings he encountered told them they were us from the future
I so love this segment. Speilberg had the sweetest look on his face when Colbert was doing the pitch starting at 4:43. I've watched it 3 times and just love them both!
I"ve never seen a Spielberg interview, that was awesome.
He rarely gives interviews.
The way Stephen pitched ET 2 and the script reminded me of his hilarious interviews as a coorespondent on The Daily Show years ago.😄
Isn't it adorable how Steven Spielberg held the script close to his chest after Stephen(*) said "give it back"? He seemed genuinely interested and protective.
(*) Thanks, @myfaceismyshield5963 for the correction.
I bet he'll read it for his own amusement. Hell, I'd want to read it. I bet it's hilarious.
Anything to not have it end up in JJ's hands. Spielberg knows that's not an empty threat from Stephen!
@@Eddyspeeder That was a good one. .😂
@@Eddyspeeder Amen!!!
I mean if anyone should make it it would need to be Spielberg, so the writers or Ai?
That interview made me smile from ear-to-ear! Steven is such a wonderful human being. Thank you for making the greatest films for the world to enjoy, again, and again!
Steven or Stephen?
"Oh my God, there's actually a script here!" Gold!!!
"I'm giving it to J.J. Abrams" That joke has so many layers!
My favorite director ❤
When Stephen said "I'm giving it to JJ" I'm like, "Noooooooooo!" and "Yesss, now Spieldberg will surely do it just to be safe."
This Gen-X would be so nerd-ing out!! Spielberg and Lucas wrote and directed our childhoods.
Wow! You just said a profound truth: "Spielberg and Lucas wrote and directed our childhoods." Well said!!
And John Hughes. You can’t forget Hughes! But Spielberg is definitely my favorite! He was an unnamed co-director, but I am still surprised he didn’t direct The Goonies since he wrote it.
@b-dub6865 Yeah, buddy!!! Truth. "Does Barry Manilow know you raid his closet?"
@@gearheadgregwi Don’t mess with the bull, young man, or you’ll get the horns. 😆
Love it when Stephen gets to sit down and have longer discussions with people.
I could listen to him talk for hours. Brilliant mind
There was a crazy spec script for E.T. 2... you can find details online if you poke around. It was nuts.
Cool! I'm gonna look for it! I figured it was gonna be just blank pages, but it wasn't. These guys are my heroes!
there was also a sequel novel called 'E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet'
I Hooe it was called ETc
Possibly one of your Best interviews ever! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯
I love Stephen Colbert ❤
Lol u m3an Spielberg. Not that hack
@@Ian1329 no Stephen Colbert the host
The Steven Spielberg interviews along with John Williams joining him in the previous video made my day! I have never seen these men discussing their products together. What an incredible surprise to run up on this
That Star Wars Atari game in Spielberg's office is making me so happy...dude was the first SW fan probably the best
Wow. You, Colbert, are one lucky guy! Ok- luck has nothing to do with it. You earned this interview.🏆
I'm glad they both took the UFO/UAP discussion seriously, just as everybody should. I know Spielberg has been following this for many years anyway, but its good to see on such a high profile show.
Love Mr. Spielberg 💗
For me, whenever Steven Spielberg explores fantasy in his films, it feels so much more personal and momentous. He goes straight to my heart!
The man is brilliant he just came up with a new movie on the spot👍👍👍
Stephan and Steven. Two greats together, like chocolate and peanut butter. ET2 w/Reese's Pieces, of course! Brilliant interviews.
My Favorite Film producer MR Steven Spielberg I love all of your movies 🎦 🎥 🍿
This interview is amazing. Spielberg is such a wonderful person.
He's a pedophile.
I love S introduces the idea that time is not linear, and yes he should write that movie 🎥 about it
When Spielberg cited that extraterrestrials today are just us from the future my mind fragmented.
Bahaha 🤣
I saw the movie appear before my eyes and now I'm like SOLD MAKE THAT!!
I've heard the idea before, but I agree, it's really, really cool. It does seem plausible that time travel might end up not being particularly much harder than long-distance space travel, and it gives one of the stronger reasons for said extraterrestrials to make the effort to be here specifically.
I've always thought that. It doesn't all need to make sense because its all beyond comprehension but just as we go to a museum to see the past, what If this is the same? It's a cool thought for me
Love these well-thought-out replies.
It’s so great to watch three such gifted, intelligent, genuine professionals having a fascinating conversation about the growth of careers based on great storytelling and imagination instead of the usual inane carnival that is late night TV.
The talent just among these three guys is mind blowing. Thank you Mssrs. Spielberg, Williams, and Colbert for this mental oasis in a desert of blistering ignorance. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are on to something, Mr.
I think I love you. Not in a gay way, but in a manly way. The way a man loves a man. In a sweaty manly way. Agression on aggression. Grunt on grunt. Wait! That came out wrong.
That was wonderful.
Stephen is such a great interviewer, I love how respectful he is and how he looks like he's ready to geek out with Steven Spielberg. That "Oh my god, there's actually a script" and "Yeah, what did you think it was gonna be?" was hilarious😂
Thank you colbert, this interview needed to happen
Enjoying how Spielberg elevates UPA discussion a notch with parallel dimensions comment.
Great sense of humor!
Omg that room, those lamps❤
What a precious gift this is!!!!
Thank you!
Add this to the best of Stephen Colbert. What a great interview.
An Abductee once made a statement that the leader of a craft told him, We are explorers, We're scientists, We are Doctors, We are traders, We are historians. Historians really resonated with me, just sounded so true.
It's logical they would want to catalog us if that is the case.
There are huge sample sizes of data on this phenomena. These large sample sizes show us that they are none of those things. Look at Jacque Vallée’s work.
I don't really know other reasons than being tourists and soldiers on top of those ones to do it (track another species, work with them, go against them or get something from them) from way more advanced civilications.
I beleave there is most likely multiple differend species with differend interest levels on us that can do interstellar travel. If that is the case you kinda have to think that those species who are there and are in close contact have made certain type of rules and alliances. They have to have somekinda agreed upon systems in place so it's not unneccesary hostility when they come in contact with other way older species. Especially the oldest ones who would have the upperhand to reprimand would most likely have the overpowered tech and be evolutionary became smart enough to see that violence usually makes problems. I still wouldn't trust every species to be just altruistic and not take benefit from us if they can and especially need or if being conquering ones is just inherently very deep in their nature.
"Abductee". Sure.
What's next? Sasquatch? The Loch Ness Monster?
@@FutureChaosTV In case you've been living under a rock, the DoD and the U.S. Navy have publicly announced UFO's are real. That leaves it up to you to decide WHAT THESE UFO'S ARE. THEN!!!!! The idiots in Congress has drafted bills to protect whistle blowers who has seen UFO's I use the word IDIOTS freely just because THEY ARE IDIOTS!!! Stay safe
Spielberg is a very rational person.
You should see him when he's high!
He sure likes dem kids eh?
I assume you've never seen Lucas. Lucas is so 'rational' I can hear Nimoy as Spock, "It is to your advantage to lighten the *f* up." 😂
Other than the alien delusions and his weird 'fascination' with kids... sure.
@@williampowell15 save it, QuackAnon. Nobodies are your projections, weirdo.
I like how his opinion is rational, had never seen anything related, still he has very good storytelling at movies about the subject
Thank you Stephen this interview of Spielberg’s was great. Keep asking 😊
Great topic.. In my early days, I lived in Boulder Colorado.. One Fine day, I was heading home on the Boulder-Golden road.. Long story short; I witnessed a copper cigar shape craft, hovering towards the Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant.. I turned the car around so as to observe this, UFO.. I could hear the commotion and see some workers,too.. I have wanted to share this experience but never found the right 'ear'.. Don't worry, there is other life out there...
Love that anthropological/sci-fi combo angle of imagination!
ET 2 WILL make bank! Fun fun interview!👏👏👏
They made a E.T. sequel, the Christmas Xfinity commercial. It was perfect!
it was a bit too hallmarky but it was cool to see. Funny thing is my grandmother saw it and told me they were making an E.T 2. lol
Mr. Spielberg has a great imagination. His theory of visitors to earth being us in the future sound like a movie i would watch.
he's kept his brilliance and curiosity. what a feat.
This is by far the best interview I have seen Stephen Colbert conduct. I'm looking forward to the rest next week. So well done.
Thankyou for talking about this important issue.
Loved this interview. Talking about aliens, and forcing an ET 2 script on Steven Spielberg was just wonderful, lol.
He says the “last Star Wars movie” and brings up Yoda fighting in revenge of the Sith. It’s funny that in his mind, the last Star Wars movie is the one that George made. I respect that.
He's a very smart man.
I think Spielberg nailed the UFO/UAP question! Wow, our own world going back in time to document how we screwed up our own time! Brilliant!
I, too, loved Spielberg's explanation of the possibility of extraterrestrials. To be fair though, it was Colbert who brought up the movie premise.
Too bad he's wrong.
It was great to watch the Steves get along like that. What a rapport.
Stephen reaching out to grab the script and Steven holding it away from him absolutely sent me
What a wonderful visit. Thank you for that.
Greatest filmmaker of all time.
Trying to watch these videos in order is just like trying to figure out everything everywhere all at once. Damn, Colbert folks, can't we label the videos. 😂
If They Make ET 2 I Hope Stephen Tries To Get The Same Cast It Would Be Epic!
E.T. is the best! I love it so much! I was 6 years old when it came out. My dad took me to see it over and over again, it was such a special movie for us. I cried at the end and he would have to carry me out of the theatre everytime. It touched me so much as a young child, and throughout my life. I still watch it to this day and love sharing the experience with my children and grandchildren!
My father passed away a few months ago. I had a heart necklace made that says "Dad" on one side and "I'll be right here" on the other.
Thank you for this movie Steven Spielberg, it's so much more than just a movie for me and always will be! ❤
P.S. I agree on no sequel. It's perfect how it is.💗
This conversation is so ethereal
E.T. II: Even T-er.
Had fun watching this, visually so captivating. Love the scene where Superman is angry throwing his laser beams to the sky holding Louis. You felt the power the pain and the art.
YES! I love the idea that it would be us coming back as anthropologists documenting US.
Been a huge Spielberg fan since I saw jaws when I was around 7, been my fave movie ever since. Recently decided to check out close encounters and it blew me out of the water, and then went down the rabbit hole watching ET Jurassic park ect very exciting to see this interview!
Wait. You didn't watch those films until now?
@@IVANGARCIA-ks4vp no no I’ve seen all those but some how hadnt seen close encounters haha
And then I went on a binge because I hadn’t seen most his movies since I was younger
Holy shit! He's talking about my theory I've had for years! (Aliens actually time travelers)
Colbert,!!!! So well done Sir! LOL.....this was Perfect! 💯 ☺ 🇨🇦
He's a great story teller.
I love the time travel hypothesis because it does hold a lot of weight, when you think about it but the spin Spielberg gave there last 100 years is why he’s a movie maker ;)❤
OMG that was hilarious!!! 😄
spielberg has access to a time machine im sure
That's a very pleasant interview to watch!
Great interview. Thanks to Stephen for asking such insightful questions and not being a slobbering fan boy. Thanks to Steven for being so candid and unguarded. Can’t wait for the rest of the John Williams participation.😊
Haha! "There's actually a script here!" Well done Stephen Colbert! Now that's called networking under the guise of comedy! Lol! Seriously though, would love to meet and talk to Stephen Spielberg, he's just so amazing and insightful.
i had a feeling there was gonna be a real script in there
Oh, I bet Stephen had his writing staff on that script for weeks, if not months. It's probably a pretty good script.
When he said what if they are us from the future. He hit the nail on the head. He knows.
That was a great fun interview thank you !
We need a modern day round table with Jacques Vallee and Spielberg...
Can't blame the man for expecting a pile of blank pages! 😂
Thank you for this wonderful interview!
Believing Is Seeing ,Love U Steven Spielberg,King
I have seen an array. It was contrary to the laws of physics and I was flabbergasted because I never believed and now, I'm still flabbergasted.
Every question was laughter for me. This was pure gold
This is so good!
Amazing interview!
Couldn't have said it better myself
