Steven Spielberg cast Matt Damon, who was introduced to him by Robin Williams as the title character in "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) as he wanted an anonymous actor with an "American everybody" look. The massive success & box office hit of "Good Will Hunting" (1997) made Matt Damon a star before "Saving Private Ryan" was released, thus defeating Spielberg's objective. However, Spielberg thought his performance was good and he "looked the part". ("Private Spielberg", Roger Ebert, 2012) P.S: On this day, 28 years ago, "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) premiered in Westwood, California, USA.

Quentin Tarantino revealed, just ahead of the release of Saving Private Ryan (1998), that Steven Spielberg told him, "We're going to create the greatest taking of Omaha Beach ever." Tarantino said, "I had no doubt he would. I'm sure he's going to do the greatest taking of Omaha Beach ever captured in cinema, on film." He added that Spielberg was one of the few living directors he could still learn from, calling him "such a perfect filmmaker" and "a master moviemaker."

Matt Damon reveals Steven Spielberg cut all dialogue and had no talking for the first 27 minutes of Saving Private Ryan "How did it go the beggining, all that dialogue with them on the boat coming in and and Steven goes 'I cut all of that out." “He goes, 'No talking for the first 27 minutes of this movie.'” “And that was when I was like, oh my god, this movie is going to be fucking unbelievable.”

Saving Private Ryan is 27 years old today. Spielberg wanted Ryan to be played by a relative unknown, so he hired Matt Damon. While the movie was in production, Good Will Hunting was released and Damon got nominated for an Oscar, which blew that particular idea out of the water.

Jenny Lewis and Sara Kay, the casting directors of Heated Rivalry, on Connor Storrie's self-tape audition for the role of Ilya Rozanov. "Connor was just -- I was like "Oh, that's him". We just knew. He just sort of had the it of the character. And so I knew when I showed that one to Jacob and Brenda. You have to chemistry-read and make sure the mix works, but I was like, "That's the guy". I just knew that was the guy." 🔗

According to Terry Gilliam, Robin Williams' character in "'The Fisher King' (1991) is in many ways the closest one to Robin, just that range — the madness, the damage, the pain, the sweetness, the outrageousness. That was the role I think that stretched him to the limits." Gilliam considered the filming of this important scene in the movie to be easy as far as effects were concerned, but as for acting, it was very hard as Robin Williams was tearing himself out emotionally. About how Robin Williams approached the scene, Gilliam said, "The interesting thing about Robin in all of those scenes was that he always wanted to do another take. He felt he had even more anguish and pain to spill out of the character. And I had to really stop him. I had to say, ‘Robin, you’ve reached a point here, way beyond what we expected. We’ve got what we needed. Now you’re just hurting yourself. That happened a couple of times while we were shooting this scene. The most worrisome moment for me was after he’s been chased by the Red Knight, when he’s running through the streets, and then he comes to the river, where the teenage punks arrive and knife him. We had to do other things on that night shoot, too, and things were going very slowly. Suddenly, we realized that we had like an hour until the dawn [would arrive]. The last shot we had to do was Robin running at the end of this scene, in this hysterical state. You can even see the light ever so slightly beginning to come on the river in the background. But Robin was so angry because it was such a crucial moment, and he felt he’d been cheated of his ability to really give this moment his all. And Robin was an incredibly strong guy: When he’d worked himself into this state of madness for the part, nobody could approach him. The first assistant, the stunt guy … nobody wanted to get near him. They were terrified. So, I had to go up there and tell him, ‘Robin, what we have here is very good. And if we look at the rushes and it isn’t, I promise you I will reshoot it.’ And I had to hug him basically, and hold him. I could feel these muscles that were so tense and so strong, they felt like they could easily r!p my he@d off. But that’s what was so extraordinary about him — how he would commit everything and more to what he had to do."

Matt Damon says Steven Spielberg made one of the boldest decisions in filmmaking by cutting almost all the dialogue from the opening of Saving Private Ryan. “There was a lot of dialogue written for the landing boat scenes.” “When I got to set, Steven told me, ‘I cut all of that out.’” “He said, ‘No talking for the first 27 minutes of the movie.’” “That’s when I knew the movie was going to be unbelievable.” “Instead of speeches, you just see soldiers throwing up, terrified, waiting for the ramp to drop.” “Then the door opens and you’re immediately thrown into the chaos.” “They also changed the way the film was shot to make everything feel sharper and more intense.” “The explosions, bullets, and movement all felt different from anything audiences had seen before.” “Nobody had really done it that way before.” “He understood how to use every filmmaking tool to put you right in the middle of the battle.”

Most of the cast of Saving Private Ryan went through grueling boot camp together before filming — except Matt Damon. Spielberg deliberately left him out so the other actors would naturally resent him, just like their characters resented risking their lives to save one guy. That little decision added a whole layer of realism to the film.

Emily Blunt on meeting and working with Steven Spielberg on Disclosure Day “I get a call from my agent saying, ‘Stephen Spielberg wants to meet you for his next movie.’ And I literally screamed. Smothered in goosebumps. I met him in his office in Tribeca and he pitched me a little bit of it and you know, you have those moments where it's him and you're like, ‘That's Steven effing. It's real, right?’ Yeah, you know, and he's talking to me and I'm really trying to keep it cool. I wanted to ask him endless questions about Jaws, which I love, and tea and everything. And I just sort of sitting on my hands trying not to ask him annoying things but he pitched me a bit of the film, and then he just said, ‘But I want you to read it.’ So he gave me a hard copy. I beatled home as fast as I could, and I read it and called him and cried again. It was so breathtaking.”

Steven Spielberg tells the story of the exact moment he got his Vietnam draft letter, standing in line to see a movie, and how the film made him forget it existed for hours. Steven Spielberg: "My dad was half in the street with his window rolled down, gesturing frantically. He just handed me this letter from selective service. I opened it up and it was the letter from the draft board asking me to report for my first physical." Steven Spielberg: "I said, 'No, I want to see the movie.' I took the letter with me and went back in line. About five minutes into Dr. Strangelove, I forgot my dad had ever pulled up in the car. I didn't even think about the letter in my pocket until I was halfway home on a bus."

Ryan Higa said that the reason he stopped doing Youtube Rewind was because they lied to him. "I specifically remembered leaving midshoot because they lied to me. And I never did it ever again... When I specifically said I don't want to do something and that's why I wasn't going to show up in the first place and then they try to convince me once I'm on set in person, that's scummy... I was already doing it for free"

Robin Williams found Good Will Hunting’s final line after 60 takes, and it wasn’t originally in the script, according to Matt Damon. “Robin would open the door and come out and find the letter, and I was right next to Gus Van Sant, next to the camera. “I would say – because we wanted [it to look like] Robin heard my voice – ‘Sean if the professor calls about that job, tell him I’m sorry. I had to go see about a girl.’ So I’d say that.” “And what was scripted was that he just takes a moment and realises I’m gone. But in true Robin fashion, we did like 60 takes. We just left the camera rolling… and he did something different every single time. “I remember when he said, ‘Son of a bitch, he stole my line,’ I grabbed Gus’s shoulders, and I felt him tense up. We both knew. We were like, ‘holy shit, what a line; how did we not think of that?’”

Matt Damon says he wrote Good Will Hunting instead of his Harvard assignment, and his professor gave him an A "I was an English major, and in fact I started writing Good Will Hunting for a class. I just had wonderful professors, and that professor really encouraged me to keep going with it" "We were supposed to write a one-act play, and I wrote the first act of a three-act movie. I went to the guy and said, ‘I think I failed your class, but this is the first act of a movie’" "He read it, gave me a straight A and just said, ‘Don’t stop. Keep going.’ That was when I took it out and showed it to Ben"

In "Dead Poets Society" (1989), Peter Weir allowed Robin Williams to improvise on most of the scenes, but remained vigilant so that he didn't erupt beyond the boundaries of the character. Weir said, "Keating’s humor had to be part of the personality, Robin and I agreed at the start that he was not going to be an entertainer in the classroom. That would have been wrong for the film as a whole. It would have been so easy for him to have the kids rolling on the floor, doubled up with laughter. So he had to put the brakes on at times.” According to Robin Williams, as a guide, Peter came up with the name ‘Robin Keating’ to define what he wanted: the scripted character, shaded with an additional 15 percent of Williams’s own off-the-cuff dialogue. After seeing the dailies, Robin Williams felt he had gone over the top. He said, "It was like clown makeup on a Kabuki dancer. It didn’t fit.” Weir did cut Williams loose for what he calls Keating’s “creative radiation bombardment” lectures. For the first time Keating faces the seven young poets in the classroom, Weir asked Williams to read a bit of Shakespeare aloud and wing it from there. “I had two cameras going, obviously, and I just said, ‘Boys, this is not a scripted scene. Treat Robin as your teacher and react accordingly, and don’t forget that it’s 1959.’” Although Weir admitted that at times Williams’s impromptu performances caused shooting delays of precious minutes—as in the dining hall—he let him fly. “When he’s inspired, it would be a terrible thing to interrupt him, And he did keep everybody in a very good frame of mind.” Robin Williams found it tough to verbalize Peter Weir's special charisma. “I rank him up there with the best of people I’ve worked with". He praised Weir’s intuition and “incredible sensitivity about how far to push someone.” All in all, he found Weir an inspiration. “He was, in essence, Keating, for all of us." ("Poetry Man: Dead Poets Society", Nancy Griffin, Premiere Magazine, 1989)

Steven Spielberg says he tried to meet Alfred Hitchcock several times, only to be thrown off his movie set when he finally showed up. Steven Spielberg: I tried to meet Hitchcock several times. He wouldn’t meet me. Then after Jaws came out, I thought I had a better chance because it became a huge hit that summer. He was shooting a movie around that time in 1975, and I had a reporter from The Washington Post following me for a profile. So I said, “Let’s go see if we can both meet Alfred Hitchcock.” I walked onto Hitchcock’s stage, and there he was with his back to me in a director’s chair. There was no way for him to know I was there. Then I noticed Hitchcock made a gesture with his hand, an assistant director came running over, Hitchcock whispered something, and the assistant director turned, looked right at me, walked over, and said, “Uh, you have to leave.” Whether Hitchcock saw my reflection in a mirror or somehow knew I was there, we were thrown off the set. And yes, I still wanted to have dinner with him. He’s a genius. I had nothing but questions for him.
