f!yeah brandon rucco

what is bran doing next?? i need more after la la land.

it was SO GOOD, right?? well, next up he's got Life which comes out in March, and Dunkirk which is set to release this summer. OKJA is this year as well (does this guy sleep??). He's set to start filming The Aftermath soon with Bea, and I'm just going to die as waiting for sneaky set pictures to come out. Then, of course, back to Mad Max which I need like, yesterday.

"Wow, holy [bleep]. I uh, I really didn't anticipate this, I would have voted for any of these other great peers of mine I really look up to. But truly, I'm honored. Jesus, I don't even know what you do with one of these things. Um, I've got to thank, first and foremost, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honor. And huge, huge thanks to our captain of this whole thing, Damien. I wouldn't have had nearly the amount of courage it took to get up and do half of the things that came out of your insane brain had it not been for you and your obnoxiously upbeat attitude. Nat, you made every day a damn joy to be on set, and really made me bring my A-game. I could only try to keep up with you on a daily basis. God, um, I've got to thank Summit and the whole team who said "yes" to an original musical about Los Angeles ... kind of unreal that they actually did that. Biggest thanks to every single member of our crew who put their heart and souls into this movie. To my team, all my agents, thank you for pushing me to doing things that scare the crap out of me. Um ... [pause] y'know my brother is the best person I know, and I've never publicly said that so I'm sure I'll never hear the end of it ... but we didn't grow up in a world where we were taught to dream or told that we could be anything we wanted, so doing a film like this that really celebrates the dreamer felt like it was some kind of redemption of that. Luke, I know you're watching so try not to give me too much crap for this. Thank you, thank you for this honor, and lastly to the woman of my dreams; ah, Bea, I love you."

"i don't remember who said it, about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. that's a pretty big thing for me when it comes to taking on a new project. i don't like the feeling of complacency. it makes me anxious. way more anxious than taking on something new. doing a film like la la land took a lot out of me. not because of the subject matter or the character, but because it was outside of my comfort zone. i'm not a particularly gifted singer or dancer, but it was because those things frankly scared the shit outta me that i had to do it. i wouldn't trade the experience for anything." - Brandon Rucco | Hollywood Reporter
