THR: Writers Roundtable [1-hour video]
From the Hollywood Reporter:
The year’s THR roundtable series kicked off with an unusually prepared group of writers. Jon Favreau, 48, who wrote, directed and starred in the food-truck dramedy Chef, once hosted Dinner for Five, a weekly IFC roundtable show with a format very similar to THR’s series; Chris Rock, 49, whose raucous comedy Top Five is garnering the best reviews of his film career, used to grill fellow talents on his HBO talk show; and Gillian Flynn, 43, who adapted her own novel Gone Girl, was a magazine journalist before she became a best-selling author and screenwriter.
They joined blockbuster-maker Jonathan “Jonah” Nolan (Interstellar), 38, and fresh scribes Anthony McCarten (Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything), 53, and Graham Moore (The Imitation Game, the story of British code-breaker Alan Turing), 33, for a lively discussion of “perfect” movies, stinging criticism and what it feels like to get a congratulatory call from Jerry Seinfeld.
Here is the entire roundtable session:
