Image
I want to make movies that people see. I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I remember calling and asking, because I had a few lines that were like, How could the character have done this? and I hadn't read the part of the script that said what she [ Cate Blanchett] did, so they put me on the phone with Woody... Allen. I don't know if I could really say Woody.

Image
[The Coen brothers] hire the same people over and over again, so there's a shorthand between all of the people they're working with.

I've had a couple opportunities where I've been on the other side of the audition process as a director.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I've always felt whatever the opposite of disillusioned is. I guess illusioned with movies and with people in movies and things like that. It's all exciting to me.

By anyone's measure, [Warren Beatty] is proven himself. But he still sets out to make something as great as it possibly can be.

Image
I met Scarlett [Johansson] briefly, but Josh [Brolin] and George [Clooney], in particular, were so welcoming and so inclusive and really brought me into the fold from the beginning. They were just very considerate of me, and it meant a lot [shootong Hail, Caesar!].
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I think that having had [Steven Spielberg's] confidence in me probably made me a little more immune to feeling as bad about myself in the face of rejection. I also was just so young - I was unaware enough to not take it too seriously.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I've definitely been spoilt. Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
With 'Hail, Caesar!' it was about all the skill sets I had to learn, but each movie requires a different way of working. You're a piece in a new world, and there is always a difficult part within that world. For me, it's not consistent from movie-to-movie, each film has a central challenge.

[The Yellow Birds] is based on a novel written by Kevin Powers, who is an Iraq War vet. I play a soldier who promises my friend's mother I'm going to keep him alive. But when we go overseas to Iraq, he gets killed. It's about what happened to him, my reckoning and dealing with that as I return home from the war.

Howard Hughes innovation was in the aviation field. His designs and spirit of experimentation was at the forefront. As far as his work as film producer, he certainly went after a bigger and more ambitious kind of filmmaking, even if he wasn't necessarily a cinema artist.

My parents weren't involved in show business but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house.

I had one line. My two larger scenes had gone fine, and then on that day I screwed up that line over and over and over again. And every time I screwed it up, they can't use the whole thing because they're only using the one shot [in Blue Jasmin]. That was my last day.

It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.

For me, it was watching 'Reds' and 'Splendor in the Grass.' To me, 'Splendor' is like the companion piece to 'Rules Don't Apply.' It's set in the time when Warren [Beatty] came to Hollywood, and when he did that first film.

I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.
