 Perfect example of clickbait. Oh yeah, click. I was reading the Times of India and the headline said, Baton cut out of SRK, taken down. The story reads, because it was blocking a security camera. Boycott! Hey! Juice! Welcome back to our show, the direction of the Corbin. I'm Rick. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, for more juicy content.

And today, Charlie Puth could tell you what note that was. Five. So this is actually something, I believe happened at the Golden Globes or somewhere. But it's James Cameron talking to SS Rajamuli at a function. And so it's been going all over the interwebs in their conversation. Just, I think, him talking about RR to SS Rajamuli. Which is really cool. I mean, there's not really a bigger director in the world currently, just because of what the movie's doing. I did not say he's the best director in the world. I don't think that in the slightest. But in terms of, biggest, in terms of... Yeah. I think it just, for India, passed the largest Hollywood opening ever. And it's now on, it's just past end game to be number five all time. He's gonna hit the magic number that he needed. He's about to hit the two billion mark. That was the break even. When you include advertising and everything. And he said in an article on Variety, Cameron said, well, I guess I have to continue with the sequels. But the, yeah, it's just them, apparently. And somebody did sub it, so. Because James Cameron clearly is gonna need to be subbed. No, it's because they're so far away. Yeah, okay. Because it's not like an official interview or anything. Right, right, right. Yeah, and stuff like that. So that's what this is. Let's just check it out. Hopefully he votes for it for Best Picture at the Oscars. Yeah, that is just today, Variety put out this thing about the mathematical probabilities of what should get nominated. And they have seven films that they think will. But then in the next three spots, one of the mathematical probabilities that is very high is freaking RRR. It'd be great. Yeah, that'd be awesome. I would lose my mind. Here we go. Wow, the audio's terrible. Audio's awful, awful. He said full tilt. The subs aren't accurate. He's saying it twice. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. No second unit. I saw you at the boat once. The score was amazing because I liked the music to kind of a little bit, stay out of the wave and tell it come in and support the audience is already feeling something on it and builds the feeling. If you're using the music right, they're cool. Yeah. Indian cinema does. Music used to get the emotion. Mm-hmm. You don't like staying your way. Just had to get up. I'm just, I'm talking about watching it. Oh, I'm staying up. I'm not that. That's it. If you're only imagining it, why it must be love? To be in you. To see you. Exactly. Good point. Glad he said that. The audience here, the whole audience must feel. I mean, I'm sure it's a bonus round for you to be able to get that. Mm-hmm. What you guys could do with it in your audience is a real hand. It's about, how much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? It must be just on top of the world. That's the same voice I like using every time. Oh. Right on! God damn right! That's awesome. And he wouldn't say that unless he meant it. No. That would not just be bullshit. Honestly, that'd be probably a good producer for SS Rajamooly film. Perfect person. If he wanted to do like a crossover Hollywood Indian film. Yeah, if he's got, if, as... James Cameron's gonna let him do what he wants to do. Absolutely. If Rajamooly has a story that is the kind of story that could be marketed directly in such a way, Cameron is the guy who could help produce that for sure. And he, the BAFTA nominations just came out and not surprisingly, RRR was ignored. And it just, it's astonishing to me. It's just astonishing to me. Super weird. Well, it's just astonishing. We're talking about honoring great artistry, but it seems that the British still can't get over the fact that a film could depict them in a negative light. You know, so, oh, you're gonna depict us in a negative light. I don't think we're gonna really promote that. That's how it feels when every other awards organization on planet Earth has awarded this, not just nominated it, it's been awarded. It's super. It just, it screams, we don't really want to acknowledge any film that depicts us in a poor light. Yeah, it screams insecurity. Yeah, it really, for me, it made the BAFTAs go whoosh, whoosh, in terms of really, you can't look beyond your own stinking noses to recognize the artistic greatness in this, at least at some level, for something. All quiet on the Western front deserves all the love it's getting. But to ignore our art was blatantly obvious that this had nothing to do with art. Yeah, that was wonderful to see, to see it from currently the biggest filmmaker in the world, in terms of the world seeing your movies, right? And especially, not just the biggest in terms of the scale that people come to see it in, but the scale of his production. He, if someone were to say who's the Rajmoolie of the visual spectacle, it's Cameron right now. Yeah, absolutely. He's the one that does the visual spectacle. That's why it would be a good, I would imagine that I think what Rajmoolie was saying, he's like, he probably looked up to his work. Inspired, inspired just because of how big and it's very similar in terms of just the grandeur of it. Yeah, cause even Titanic, there's moments that it wouldn't surprise me if some of the visual inspiration for some of the musical elements in Bahubali 2, they are very cinematically similar to some of the more romantic shots of the Titanic and the epicness of that. Even though I would love it obviously if there was a crossover and maybe it'll happen, but my concern would be he would have to have somebody maybe like a James Cameron who would let him, if he wants to tell an Indian story, just have a Hollywood budget, let him tell that story, not interfere with what story he wants to tell. That would be my concern. The great thing about if it was Cameron producing it would be an exec producing it, really being hands-on. I think he would undoubtedly allow Rajmoolie to just tell the story he wants to tell. And I think he would also be the first person to tell everybody involved in production. Do what he says or you answer to me. Because he can be like most directors, he can be dictatorial and it's my vision and this is his vision. And the fact that he said what he said about how proud your people should be for this. Yeah. Cause that would be my concern is Rajmoolie, one of the brilliant things about him is he's always made films for Indians. He's like this, my stories are for Indians. If anybody else appreciates it, that's gravy. I make a story for my people. That's wonderful. And so I think if Hollywood tried to do, cause we've heard stories from people in the industry that was like they tried to get big name directors from India to do like a fast and furious film. And those directors that they were trying to get aren't fast and furious style directors. No. Or they were trying to get them to do a Marvel film. And they're not a Marvel, they were just trying to get a. This is true. Indian director to do a Hollywood film just so that it's a name. And understandably Indian directors said no, they're like, have you seen my movies? I don't, I'm not interested. Yeah, I don't make that kind of film. There are people who make them, I have no problem with it, but I don't make the kind of film. And the other thing that's great that many of you probably have put in the comments already is that no, as powerful and predominant as a James Cameron is, Rajamali doesn't need James Cameron. Oh no, absolutely not. At all. No, that's all I was saying. What would be great is to have the Hollywood budget. Is to have the Hollywood budget and just deepen the penetration of Indian influence. That's right. Deepen that influence in terms of there are still too many people who don't know about the greatness of Indian cinema, the greatness of a director like SS Rajamali or a film like RRR. And they would need still someone like a James Cameron's name attached. There'd be producers here who probably haven't seen RRR and would not work with Rajamali even with all of the success. But if Cameron's name was attached, they'd go, oh okay, I would do it. Yeah, so I'd be interested, but I would also be weary. Yeah, he definitely doesn't need it. Doesn't need it in the slightest. He has the biggest budgets that you can have. He doesn't need anybody here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, at all. But it would just be cool because that would be the crossover. Yeah. And I mean, if there's a director that's gonna be doing it, I guess, on the largest scale, it kind of has to be Rajamali. Well, and it's what we want. I don't know if he wants that either. I think he might, it's like, I'm gonna make my stories. Yes. If the West appreciates the next one, great. If not, I'm happy making my stories for the thing that people excites us about that prospect of collaboration is we've repeatedly said, especially on the acting front, is we want to see more Indian artists, especially the actors, but with Rajamali, it's directing, collaborating and working with the best of the best here in America. Yeah, we got that. And cross-pollinating that. I would love to see. We got Ali is coming in with Gal Gadot. Yes, I would like to see Tom Hardy in an Indian film. And I would like to see Ali Abat in a Tom Hardy film here. Vice versa. I would just love to see this total crossover of the best of the best working together. Because I feel like the other countries and regions, industries around the world have that. They do. Especially the European ones. Korean films as well. Yes. Chinese actors have worked here for a long time as well. A lot of French, a lot of German. Obviously the British work consistently here. It's not a lot of the other way though. Right. In terms of Hollywood actors going to other cinema. Right. I think it's more because the budgets we have here are kind of astronomical. It won't surprise me at all if there are name actors who have contacted Rajamuli and said would love to work with you. I think. Whether it's an Indian film or an American film. And if it was an Indian film and there was a right role, I think he could attract. I think I heard something about Chris Hemsworth or something. Is he with creative artists? I don't. Because that's a big one. A lot of deals become package deals within agencies. So I know SS Rajamuli is with creative artists. So anybody who is at creative artists, that would be a no brainer. What would be great is if his next films have Hollywood white actors in it. Yeah. You have the world now. So we don't need to hire Q-list actors for your film. Q-list. And Q-list. Q-list, Q-list. For the king, put. And yes, we know it's more expensive but you get what you pay for and it's worth it. Yes. To invest it and do it properly. That's some of the only flaws in R&R. In Indian cinema ever. You rarely find a Mark Bennington in Indian cinema. Absolutely. Anyways, so that was great. I love that. Hopefully it's a signal of more things to come in. I know East probably had 10,000 conversations with big names like this during this whole thing. I saw he got to take a photo with Spielberg and it was just beside himself. How would you not be? The lady who made our costumes for a million video just got to meet SS Rajamundli at... Oh, did she? Because she dressed some people. Oh, great. Because she's a... For the globes? Yeah, for the globes. She's a big time Indian costume designer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she just got to meet him. She posted a picture and that's what happened. That's great. Anyways, let us know what other videos we can react to down below.
