Tonight we talk to one of the rebel commanders in Syria who | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Tonight we talk to one of the rebel to eat them. A Conservative MP who | :00:22. | :00:41. | |
wants to oblige his own party to hold a referendum on whether we | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
should leave the EU next year. What's he about? And one for the | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
geeks, Star Trek and soon to be Star Wars director JJAbrams sits down and | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
talks science fiction in books and films. What are the rest of us | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
missing. Do you feel visual effects have reached some realisim level. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
When you look at movies you start to see a kind of almost Kleined scopic | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
effect of -- collide scopic effect and you don't know where to look, | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
there is so much happening. It emerged today that the United States | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
is bringing home the USSNimet, the emerged today that the United States | :01:24. | :01:50. | |
hear less andless of the forces fighting the dictatorship, because | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
they discourage foreign journalists through kidnapping and torture and | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
threats. The patience with many of the rebels with the western | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Governments who claim to be on their side has run out. Four stories of | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
pain and loss. As you go up the stairs in this makeshift | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
rehabilitation centre for sick and wounded Syrians in Turkey, every | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
door discloses a scene of broking lives. They are living now virtually | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
without possessions in a foreign country. In London, Geneva, Is | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
Istanbul, Syrian politicians and exiled politicians are arguing about | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
how to end the war. But the rebellion started without them, and | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
they won't decide when it ends. It is commanders in | :02:41. | :02:58. | |
they won't decide when it ends. It commanders is breaking free. Colonel | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Abdul has resigned as head of the Free Syrian Army in Aleppo, and told | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Newsnight the west has betrayed his forces by doing a deal with | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
President Assad to get rid of chemical weapons. TRANSLATION: When | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
Mr Obama says chemical weapons are a red line, that gives Assad a green | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
light to use conventional weapons, ballistic missile, scud missile, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
figers planes like MiG, helicopter, rocket launchers and tanks. All | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
these can be used by this regime to kill the Syrian people. So the | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
western stance has been very negative towards the Syrian | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
revolution. As Syrians we think the west is supporting the criminal | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Assad regime. west is supporting the criminal | :03:50. | :04:13. | |
head of the Islamist Talhed Brigade, to defend a town against the Assad | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
forces, it was eventually lost because the rebels weren't united. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
And the regime, backed by Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon was far better | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
armed. TRANSLATION: Of course in terms of weapons and ammunition we | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
have not received anything at all. Some communications equipment, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
that's all, and some ready meals from the US. How many ready meals? | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
TRANSLATION: I don't know, because the fighters refused to eat them. ! | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
CLAIL Now a new rebel line-up is being formed, including this senior | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
commander who has travelled to meet me. It is a line-up of Islamist, | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
some were in the western-approved Free Syrian Army, now they are | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
talking of breaking away. Some Free Syrian Army, now they are | :04:57. | :05:22. | |
powers are more worried by Islamics concerns than the dictatorship. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
TRANSLATION: Does the world have double standards and only interested | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
in the length of somebody's beard. That is all they see, not the amount | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
of blood that was spilt. Even if there is religious extremism in | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Syria, that is natural, we ask the world to help get rid of Assad but | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
nobody listened, so we rely on good alone. Would you be happy to fight | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
with the extremists if they were happy to fight with you? | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
TRANSLATION: Yes, I'm ready to fight side-by-side with them to bring the | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
regime down. Western policies based on the idea that there is a moderate | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
mainstream in Syria, inbetween regime loyalists and radical | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Islamists. Among ordinary Syrians there certainly is, but among | :06:08. | :06:26. | |
Islamists. Among ordinary Syrians of a successful peace conference | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
become ever slimmer. TRANSLATION: I don't think it will succeed, while | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the regime continues to kill people, the air force bombs people from the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
air and directs artillery fire at them. I don't think under such | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
circumstances anybody can go to negotiations or peace talks with | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
such a criminal regime. That certainly is how the wounded at the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
rehab centre feel. You might think their suffering would make them want | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
an end to the war. In fact, it has made them all the more insistent | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
that their victory should be complete. Tim joins us now. What are | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
the rebels up to there? Well there are endless meetings going on | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
Army, backed politically by the West, or whether they want to | :07:20. | :07:40. | |
break-away into a new Islamist group that might even be called the Army | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
of Mohammed. There are many here trying to do all they can to stop | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
that, they fear it would reduce support and sympathy for the rebels | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
still more. Are they going to make it to the peace talks in Geneva? | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
There are endless talks about that as well in Istanbul they will be | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
going on all weekend among exiled Syrian politicians. Many of whom | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
lack credibility among the fighters on the ground. And maybe it is | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
because they lack legitimacy, they are unlikely to give any clear | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
answers maybe for fear of stabbing in the back the people back home. At | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
most they will say yes they will go but only in impossible conditions | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
which President Assad agrees to but only in impossible conditions | :08:28. | :08:48. | |
admiring it was to go and see it. He might have felt the same about the | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
House of Commons today when one MP after another rose to talk and talk | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
and talk for as long as possible to try to stuff the chances of a | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Private Members Bill passing through parliament. The subject of the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
proposed law was the old Conservative source of grief, what | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
is the point of Britain belonging to the EU. This Conservative MP wanted | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
to force the Government to hold a referendum before the next election. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
David Grossman watched it AUCHLT -- all. It is not the most obvious TV | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
hit ever. A political drama about Danish politics in Danish. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
But Borgen is nevertheless back for another season. MPs apparently love | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
it. It could have done with some subtitles in the Commons today, the | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
debate subtitles in the Commons today, the | :09:40. | :09:58. | |
following 60 years of Franco-German reconciliation and EU achievement | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
would never have occurred. That is a matter I believe organisations | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
particularly veterans' organisations, under new schedule 2 | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
(J) should be properly consulted on. MPs were discussing whether to have | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
a referendum on the EU. As a certain Danish play nearly had it to be in | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
or not to be in! In the role of Prince was James Warden, a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Conservative MP who came top in the ballot of backbench MPs, his prize, | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
precious Commons time, with which to introduce a bill. He wants to pass a | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
law requiring the UK to have a Europe referendum by 2017. Despite | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
having previously opposed a referendum, David Cameron now wants | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
one. But can't give Government time to the bill because he's in a | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
coalition with Nick Clegg who doesn't want a referendum, despite | :10:48. | :10:48. | |
the fact doesn't want a referendum, despite | :10:49. | :11:08. | |
the European Union. What this is... It is not? What are they talking | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
about? They are talking about giving Conservatives a retail offer they | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
can sell on the doorstep saying our pledges to give you referendums on | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
the European Union are real and bona fide. And their's aren't. A further | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
complication is one Conservative MP, Adam Afreye is trying to bring | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
forward the referendum to this side of the general election. Some | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
interpret this as a rather naked attempt to destablise David Cameron. | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
It strikes me the majority of our constituents and the British people | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
want a referendum before the next election. I have never known a time | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
in British politics when the politic Establishment has been so | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
dissecretaried, so remote and in opposition and -- disconnected and | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
remote and out-of-touch and in opposition of the British public. | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
The Prime opposition of the British public. | :12:00. | :12:16. | |
case it proves electorally unpopular. Today we saw dozens of | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
time-sapping interventions and amendments. We join the action as | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
the tellers are about to report one of these nail-biting votes. The ayes | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
to the right, 299, the noes to the left, zero. Yes, that's right, not | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
even the person who tabled the amendment voted for it. World class | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
time wasting? Sadly, not even close. In the mother of parliaments they | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
insist that speeches are at least vaguely to the point. Tonight girls | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
you are here, you girls don't get to pick the book so I got to pick green | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
eggs and ham. No such nit-picking and fussiness in the US, if you are | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
sitting comfortably, here is part of the recent debate on health. That | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Sam I am, I do not like that Sam I am. | :13:09. | :13:27. | |
Sam I am, I do not like that Sam I Ladbrokes are giving on your | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
amendment being passed? I don't know. I will tell you, it is 100-1, | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
that is the same as the chances of JAB could be RRhys-Mogg being leader | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
of the party? I know it is tough to get it tabled. But I'm trying to | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
give it a voice this side of the election which is what people want. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
You know this talk about you being future leader of the party. You know | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
all this talk? Sorry the question is? You do know all the talk? What I | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
was trying to do today Jeremy as I was trying to make sure the British | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
people got a say in the European Union referendum this side of the | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
election. It occurred to us you are a unifying figure, there are not | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
many people who could get Bill Cash and David Cameron on the same side | :14:19. | :14:19. | |
in a and David Cameron on the same side | :14:20. | :14:39. | |
were going to win the election there would be a certain referendum | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
wouldn't there? I hope we will win the election and we should work very | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
hard to do that. What I was saying in my 90 seconds in the debate, what | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
I was saying is this, the only way to guarantee that British people | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
have a say on Europe is to deliver it within this parliament. That was | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the point I was making. That is what the amendment seeks to do. Because I | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
might lose the next election? It is better to have a bird in the hand | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
than promise things for the future, when we don't know what the election | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
outcome will be or the circumstances at the time. Do you think you might | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
stand a better chance of winning the election with a different leader? | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
David Cameron is doing a tremenduously good job in incredibly | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
difficult circumstance, come on, he has to wake up every morning | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
thinking about Nick Clegg. He has a challenging economic environment. | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
There are troubles abroad and at home. He's doing a good job in | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
difficult circumstance, he is the Prime Minister. What this is about, | :15:29. | :15:29. | |
what this is want. But they are going to get it? | :15:30. | :15:49. | |
If the Conservatives win the election David Cameron will | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
certainly. If they win the next election? Can you predict the | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
future, it is very hard. But if we win the election then of course, | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
David, I completely trust him to deliver the referendum in 2017. The | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
problem is we don't know what the outcome of the election will be. | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
That is why in many ways, and the lone star of the left says this as | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
well, in many ways you either want to have the referendum sooner to | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
restore business certainty and confidence and be back together as a | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
nation and have a democratic mandate for our Prime Minister to conduct | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
the negotiations or the withdrawal, or you want to have it a long time | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
down the road. What we need is certainty, businesses need | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
certainty, the people want this, and they think it is better if it comes | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
within this parliament. But you are just adding to the uncertainty? No, | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
if my amendment passes and just adding to the uncertainty? No, | :16:39. | :16:59. | |
crying out for a long time. How many amendments are there? I have tabled | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
the amendment and the Labour Party have put one in. The fate of that is | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
in the speakser's office and the MPs as to whether it is called for a | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
vote and whether people will vote for it. Bill Cash is saying it is | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
nuts? He doesn't say that. We get on very well indeed. Bill Cash has some | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
concerns and rightly about specifying a precise date. That is | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
when it comes to it, it may be we vote on a Devon bill to have a | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
referendum in 2014. Do you he have any idea how many people support | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
this idea in your party? There are many, it is about what people do on | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
the day if there is a vote. I can't guarantee that. I'm fighting tooth | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
and nail and it has been pretty hard work, | :17:51. | :18:08. | |
and nail and it has been pretty hard guaranteed within this parliament. | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
You are asking me can I predict the future, I don't know if the speaker | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
will collect it to be spoken on. I'm not asking you to predict the future | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
but you can't put a figure on it, can you, is it dozens, you can't | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
even tell me if it is the fingers of one hand? I can tell you many MPs if | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
it comes to a vote will support the amendment. I'm hoping that every MP | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
will look at their constituents and listen to the public opinion, where | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
80% want a referendum, 55% want it is this side of the election and | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
even in the Conservative Party 57% of Conservatives want a referendum | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
before 2017. So I'm trying to be the voice of the people, the voice of my | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
party, to give MPs the final chance, this is the last chance to actually | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
have a referendum within this parliament. Thank you very much. It | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
has been a pleasure. In a moment. Oh! How | :18:59. | :19:17. | |
has been a pleasure. In a moment. about an imminent nuclear deal with | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
Iran. John Kerry's bucket of cold water was in remarkable contrast to | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
suggestions that sanctions against Iran were about to be relaxed. A | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
prospect that got the Israelis pretty livid. How realistic is a | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
lasting deal and what would be acceptable to the hardline Iranian | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
clerics. A spokesman for Iran's nuclear | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
negotiators before 2005 joins us from Princen to university. What -- | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
Princen to university. What to you thi are the chances? The chances are | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
high. I believe we have had the most serious negotiations between Iran | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
and the world powers in the last six or seven years. Already they have | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
agreed about the principles of the final deal. Also they have discussed | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
the details. What is left final deal. Also they have discussed | :20:08. | :20:29. | |
change is about the US position in 2003-2005 when I was a member of the | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
negotiation team, the US red line was no enrichment. After President | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
Obama was elected in 2009 the US straight line has been changed. Now | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
the red line is no nuclear bomb, this is something which Iran can | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
live with, this red line. That is why after the Iranian special | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
elections the political atmosphere internationally completely changed. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
It opened the door for serious negotiations. Iran put a very | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
comprehensive package on the table on October 15/16 negotiations in | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Geneva. In the last round of talk, just two days ago they he discussed | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
the details. -- they discussed the details. The two parties have a very | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
clear transparency measures. Iran would be | :21:20. | :21:38. | |
fully co-operative on transparency measures. Also Iran would be ready | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
to co-operate with the world powers on confidence building measures that | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Iranian nuclear programmes would remain peaceful forever. There would | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
be no breakout to our weaponisation. These are two big achievements on | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
the nuclear talks. At the same time they have understood they need to | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
respect the rights of Iran on their non- on their NPT. You sound quite | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
optimistic? I'm optimistic because the principles are agreed already. | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
The framework is agreed this is for the first time they have agreed on | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
The framework is agreed this is for the US ability to lift the sanctions | :22:30. | :22:52. | |
in return of Iranian overtures on transparency measures and no | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
breakout measures. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Now a date | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
made in geek heaven, the author of Never Where, The Graveyard Book, | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
meets JJ Abrams, the man chosen to rehabilitate the Star Wars franchise | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
and director of Star Trek. He's coauthor of an unusual book, | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
described as a library book, covered in scribbles with odd scraps of | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
paper hidden inside it. We were intrigued so went to see him. Show | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
us what somebody buying the book will experience? You open the book | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
and you Jews cover there are wage -- you discover there | :23:39. | :23:39. | |
and you Jews cover there are wage -- things like letters that go into | :23:40. | :24:01. | |
more detail. How as an author do you go about building something like | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
that? The text had been written first. As I was going along thinking | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
about the margins story, there would be moments in the Text of Ship that | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
would clearly offer themselves up. That would clear trigger, to me, | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
trigger some moment between them. It wasn't calculated it was | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
impro-advised. One of the things I loved was the feeling that you come | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
right out at the end of the introduction and have your | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
characters writing backwards and forwards and essentially telling the | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
reader there is no wrong way to read the book. I think that the key to it | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
is that we knew that everyone would approach it differently and the | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
truth is that S approach it differently and the | :24:48. | :25:07. | |
chunks, you have made something that demands attention. Is there | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
something faintly counterintuitive about that at this point? Possibly. | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
It seems to me it might be an oversimplification. I don't know | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
actually how true that is. Get to your point! I'm kidding. You have | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
been responsible here for the creation of a book which treats the | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
book as object in a way, but it hasn't been treated before? The idea | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
came out of the object. I found a book at Los Angeles International | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Airport, 15 or so years ago, a paper back sitting on a bench, I picked it | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
up and opened it up and someone had written "to whom ever finds this | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
book read it, take it somewhere else and leave it for someone to find | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
it". It was signed "Janet" and she left it there for someone. The idea | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
of a book having a like spoke to me for some | :26:01. | :26:17. | |
of a book having a like spoke to me SEENGS goal, not anything else and | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
it was a natural evolution of a notion. People are predicting the | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
death of a book and the end of the book, the idea that all books are | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
becoming electronic and predicting the end of libraries, and you have | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
created something that has to be a book and it is set in a library? For | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
some reason the analogue object there is such incredible comfort in | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
a physical book, I know it sounds silly but there is something about | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
holding the Boca and being able to see -- the book and being able to | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
see how far you have gone and the book mark and the g-eared page. | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
There is something about the experience of holding the book that | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
is so comforting and I think in an increasingly digital world there is | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
huge value in the tactile and analogue, that is something "S | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
"celebrates. Do you analogue, that is something "S | :27:09. | :27:29. | |
it hadn't been written with the air and thoughtfulness -- care and | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
thoughtfulness and skill that Doug brings to his work it would be a | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
gimmick. I have seen it in the work of so many people I admire, | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
including yourself where you think this is the thing. But in lesser | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
hands it is transparent, can you see through it and you know what it is | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
and it doesn't have any import. I think that done well it can be both. | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
So what I would like to think is it is something that is neither high or | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
low but it is this kind of, you know,am malMUS cocktail of an idea | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
that is quick to understand, but an experience that is, I think, rich | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
and deep and that is all thanks to Doug. Everything you have done to | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
date that people know you for, first of all on the small screen and then | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
on the large screen. How does it feel to have no screen? It is funny, | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
somebody asked me story tellers for a film or TV | :28:20. | :28:39. | |
actually was fairly close to this, but the process of making it was a | :28:40. | :28:47. | |
much more intimate and far less political collaboration, which made | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
it that much more wonderful. When a meteor struck in Russia earlier this | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
year people commented it looked like something from a JJ Abrams film. Do | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
you think visual effects have reached a realisim limit at this | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
point? I think, and I'm as quilty as anyone, you start to see a | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
kaleidoscopic effect of visual effects and it is happening now | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
because you can do that. There is one focus and one thing. If you look | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
at old films and the visual effects, like Matt Paintings, and Albert whit | :29:27. | :29:48. | |
at old films and the visual effects, there was an incredible efficiency | :29:49. | :29:50. | |
of dialogue because you knew there would be cards coming up in silent | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
films. You had characters saying things that were essential. Once | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
there was sound you could be loose e and there have been many, many films | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
that have used sound and you wonder sometimes does everything need to be | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
said that is said. I think we're past this kind of moment of hoping | :30:07. | :30:13. | |
we can do things visually in movies. We can do anything now. The | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
essential question now is what is essential? We hear rumours there may | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
be British casting of stars wars, is this true? It wouldn't be Star Wars | :30:23. | :30:30. | |
if there wasn't fantastic actors who happened to be British. I think | :30:31. | :30:33. | |
we're doing our job and looking everywhere for the best possible | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
actors for the roles. Nothing is more important, there are things as | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
important, but nothing is more important than casting | :30:41. | :31:00. | |
important, but nothing is more project. Even as I speak we're | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
tweeting a link to an extended version of that interview on our | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
YouTube channel. That's for another week, last week we made it on to the | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
water cooler show of the moment, Channel 4's Gogglebox which records | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
the reactions of people watching television shows. We didn't do so | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
well this week, I wonder why, I guess we will never know? Good | :31:23. | :31:32. | |
night. I'm getting bored with it now. I was bored after five minutes. | :31:33. | :31:44. |
