00:00What does it mean to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Killers of the Flower Moon?

00:04Well, you know, you always say it's an honor to be nominated,

00:07but I'm really particularly pleased with this one because I think it earns it.

00:13I'm not saying my work necessarily does, but the movie does.

00:16Marty really realized his vision, and I was there to help, you know,

00:21and so I think this has an important movie.

00:25What do you love most about collaborating with Martin?

00:28Uh, collaborating with Marty.

00:31He affords you to use your imagination.

00:34He inspires you, you know, and encourages you.

00:39It never induces any anxiety.

00:42So it's just a great environment that he creates,

00:47and he has a vision, and you want to try to help meet that vision.

00:50Yeah, it's very special.

00:52I found the ending of the film so interesting to sort of tell the rest of the story

00:56through a radio show in that way.

00:58Why did you guys make that choice?

01:01We thought it would be a really interesting way to tell the history

01:04and also to say that this is a history being told by other people

01:07and that everything is kind of told by the media in a way,

01:11and maybe one should look a little closer at the true stories, you know?

01:16So that was part of the idea, yeah.

01:18Yeah, it was a smart way to do things, you know?

01:22Yeah, thank you.

01:23Of course, and the performances in this movie have just received so much acclaim,

01:27especially Lily Gladstone.

01:29Why do you think she was the perfect person to play Molly?

01:31I think she inhabited that person.

01:34We did the best we could to know how that woman was really like, the real Molly,

01:39and she's seen from all our research, very quiet, didn't waste words.

01:48Tom Rothman.

01:49You got your...

01:50Here it is.

01:51I'm in the interview.

01:51I'm talking about Lily Gladstone.

01:53Talking about Lily Gladstone, yes.

01:55But talk about our greatest living screenwriter.

02:01Oh, that's so nice, Tom.

02:02There he is.

02:04That's nice.

02:05That is nice.

02:06I don't know how much longer I'm going to live, though, you know?

02:09I feel like she's with Lily that, you know, this sort of passive persona,

02:15but more about just being quiet.

02:18And really, she talked about it, the birds talk, you know,

02:21and that people don't have to necessarily talk, yeah.

02:24So much of her story, I feel like, was really told through the emotion we saw on her face

02:28and even with limited dialogue, but I feel like she...

02:30It wasn't supposed to be histrionic in any way,

02:33and it reflected, as best we could tell, the real person, you know?

02:38Definitely.

02:38And you also were a part of our Screenwriters' Roundtable.

02:41What was it like getting to sit down for that conversation?

02:44I've done that a number of times, and it's always...

02:47It's a joy, you know, when you get to meet the other writers and writer-directors,

02:51and you have some unspoken understanding of things together, you know?

02:57So, yeah, it was lovely. It was lovely. It's a nice thing to do, yeah.

03:00And for you, as a legendary screenwriter, what's another movie you saw this year that you loved?

03:06I liked Poor Things very much, Oppenheimer.

03:11I would say...

03:13I think Poor Things would be one of my other favorites.

03:18Yeah, I thought it was unique.

03:20Oh, I liked recently Society of the Snow.

03:22I thought it was kind of poetic.

03:23I was afraid of it a little, but, yeah, it's quite beautiful, yeah.

03:27I was afraid of it a little, yeah, it's quite beautiful, yeah, it's quite beautiful, yeah, it's quite beautiful, yeah, it's quite beautiful.
