This is a 5 part interview I conducted with Paul Verhoeven on his life as a director, and his latest film Black Book (Zwartboek). A rare and candid look inside the mind of one of Hollywood's great directors.

  • I would love to be in his position - maybe he wants to trade?

  • I'd trade!

  • I'd trade too! But maybe I don't know what I'm getting into...

    I'm a wannabe filmmaker, so...

  • video? what camera are you using?

  • Paul is a smart man, and should get more recognition. Sure, some of his more popular films are pretty unsubtle, but the guy has more brains than you would think. I'm sure we will see more great films from him soon.

  • "maybe they could make better movies with more time"

    --That's why Kubrick's films are so great. He took a lot of time to shoot, and reshoot.

  • @Casarzino As mentioned here, David Lean is thought of in that same elite group

  • @NamwobYnda83 As it stands, Total Recall is set for a Reboot from Young Hollywood, you could say. Basic Instinct as well, It's one of my all time favs

  • I just got the BluRay for Robocop, and it's great,sure, but no Making of content that Criterion put on their fabulous LaserDisc, it's another great avenue for asking a director, their feelings on DVD, LaserDisc, Home theater and TV versus theatrical. And when you know it's a film Paul is helming, it would seem like he gets final cut on it! haha

  • C'mon you apes! You wanna live forever?!?!

    One of his best films.

  • @hanshotfirst1138

    LOL you are a funny guy

  • This man is seriously underrated. "Robocop", "Total Recall", nobody can make violent, fucked-up films like these. 

  • "Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave" - Liz Phair

  • Kubrick was one of the few directors who was so respected that studios would let him shoot for as long as he wanted
