00:00 I know that you can be selective when you're choosing projects.

00:03 So what made you number one say yes to this and what do you look for when you sign on to a project?

00:09 It's not the project, it's James. James is just a genius and you know we did

00:13 "The Heart of Dayfall" together and that was a, well we're gonna do a bunch of

00:18 projects. We got a bunch of projects in the pipeline as well. He's just fearless.

00:23 He's fearless and he's creative and you know we went from the old west to the

00:28 New Testament.

00:30 Jesus of Nazareth.

00:32 I'm not your man.

00:34 You can't even buy power like that.

00:36 I'm not your man.

00:38 I want to be like that in ten years.

00:40 I am something that you never will stand.

00:42 I want to be like that now.

00:44 We didn't pick easy topics.

00:46 You know, we wasn't represented in the old west.

00:49 You know, like so we pulled up names, real names.

00:52 Stagecoach Mary and Trudy Smith and Rufus Buck and you know.

00:57 And now we placed us, you know, in biblical times where we most absolutely

01:03 showed up but was never represented as shown on the big screen.

01:07 You really read the words. You knew we were there.

01:09 Exactly.

01:10 In about a month we're gonna see the Super Bowl.

01:12 You're a producer on the halftime show.

01:14 Usher's getting on stage this year.

01:16 I mean, what do we think about what he's going to do?

01:19 I think he's gonna take his rightful place.

01:22 You know, he's one of the greatest performers that we've seen in our time

01:29 and I think he'll take his rightful place.

01:31 Will you ever get on stage again?

01:33 Get on stage?

01:34 The Super Bowl halftime stage?

01:36 I don't know.

01:37 You know, I thought it would be selfish to pick myself too early.

01:41 So maybe one year. Maybe.

01:43 Hey, quickly, I know you gotta go but, you know, I wouldn't be remiss

01:47 if I didn't talk about Beyonce releasing her Renaissance concert film.

01:51 The two of you have taken over music.

01:53 Are you gonna just take over film now too?

01:55 Because I don't know what you can't do.

01:58 I think it's all a part of being creative.

02:01 You know, you don't create in lines.

02:06 People try to--these genres, whether it's audio, visual, etc., you just create.

02:12 And when you love creating, it doesn't matter the pipeline in which you create.

02:17 Yeah.
