- Ron Howard was a little disappointed when he started shooting “Grand Theft Auto” at age 21 because he had really wanted to shoot a feature in his teens.

For those of you wondering, Ron Howard is referring to a film titled “Grand Theft Auto” which he directed in his twenties and it came out in 1977 which predates the unrelated video game series by twenty years
Thank you for that. Hope all is well with you and everyone you care about. Much love from Detroit MI ❤
Ohh you mean just like Conan said in the first five seconds? Thanks for clearing that up
This is accurate, but little known fact-Ron Howard voiced O.G. Loc* in GTA: San Andreas.
* Not really
Hey, thanks for that. Appreciate the info.
@@LingLing1337Ohh repeating what @TheDarkSatirist posted in the original comment?
For anyone young like me who's first assumption is the video game, Ron's talking about his 1977 movie
Wow 1977. Ron's had one of those loooooong careers and still seems like he has a lot more to do.
@@williamhornabrook8081 Yeah, it's so cool to see him still very active today. Like I said, I'm young (19) but I grew up on shows like Andy Griffith and Happy Days thanks to channels like MeTV. Ron Howard is someone I look up to a lot
thank you lmfao
no duh
Bro he says it it first 2 seconds, do you young have lower attention span than that xd
Corman definitely deserves a documentary done about him. Like Ron said the amount of young directors he gave valuable experience to that went on to shape the cinema era that I experienced in my youth was staggering. Never asked for any credit or was envious when they surpassed him
Definitely agree. Growing up, I always thought of him as a king of "B-movies." But he supported and tutored so many of the great writers/directors that reshaped cinema from the 70s forward that he deserves his own documentary.
Corman’s World (2011)
Roger Corman is an industry legend, gone but never forgotten. Ron Howard even gave him a small cameo in Apollo 13, one of my favorite movies.
I saw a short video of Jack Nicholson talking about Roger Corman's passing and he broke down in the middle of the interview. Surprising, we tend to see Jack as such a cynical guy...
Corman had cameos in many movies made by filmmakers he mentored, including Jonathan Demme (multiple roles), Joe Dante, Wes Craven, and Francis Ford Coppola.
It's crazy to think that Roger Corman was still seeing new movies up till a few months before his death. That man probably loved cinema more than we even know.
He absolutely did! Alot of people remember him for the shlocky, creature feature/horror stuff but the man was truly an auteur!
I got a friend request from him on MySpace, which was definitely just one of probably thousands he sent out from some automated promotional tool... but I accepted it and messaged him and he actually responded. Not just generic messages but legitimately engaging conversational replies. I always respected that.
I feel honored that I got to see him last October in Vegas and listen to him give a masterclass on the industry while talking to Joe Bob Briggs
Someone said in the comments of one of the other videos that Ron constantly makes eye contact with Sona and Matt and it is awesome. What a great dude.
I've seen a couple of documentaries about Corman and one thing that always strikes me is how the people he gave a shot too really really appreciate what he did and know he gave them that career. Like Ron said, it was really hard for outsiders to get that shot back then and it was still too expensive to do it on your own. That list of names Ron mentions in the end got their start with Corman, who knows how much harder it would've been for them to get a shot without him.
In the 90s it was a different story and filmmakers like Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smith could just shoot a cheap movie to get them started. Today you can take your smartphone or a $2000 cinema camera like the Black Magic cameras, and go shoot something. Back in the 70s? you needed someone who would take risks, and Corman was that guy.
I enjoyed what Ron Howard said about Jim Henson. Roger Corman is in Movie Valhalla making his third low budget Valkyrie exploitation movie. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea Roger Corman was so instrumental to so many film makers I grew up watching. This clip just created a nice Sunday afternoon rabbit hole to fall into today.
I could listen to this man talk forever
Check out his (and his brother Clint's) book THE BOYS. It's filled with so many anecdotes about his family, (old) Hollywood and growing up in the business. Guaranteed you'll love it!!
I remember seeing Grand Theft Auto in a double feature with Eat My Dust at the old drive-in that used to be in my town. Great director!
Opie says Eat My Dust! 🏁
Roger Corman was so instrumental in so many actors, directors and professionals working in the industry today to much acclaim it's something that couldn't exist today. I think he really taught artists how to be truthful to their vision but also embrace the bottom line of the business. Look forward to the Henson doc for sure!
I was a movie theater usher at a sneak preview of "Night Shift" in Forest Hills, Queens. Got to share a quiet couple minutes with Ron as he wanted to play Pac-Man and needed change. I gave him a quarter so he could play. He was very nice.
If you didn’t know-O.G. Opie was a legendary gangster in the first few installments of the GTA video game series.
Alongside mobsters like The Mafia Don Knotts, and Jimmy “Hard As Nails” Nabors.
Ron Howard is on a short list of people to whom I would gladly say "start talking" and proceed to just listen to for many hours.
Howard is sort of a bridge given his long career -- he can address filmmaking and today's stars, but can also talk about a lot of major actors and directors of yesteryear...
My friend and I were into this hot new game "Grand Theft Auto 2" -- pre 3D -- when we discovered this movie existed. So we watched it, just for what it was, but also looking for any hints of influence it might have had on the game. We didn't see any, but it was a fun movie for its time.
All the great artists who got their start through Roger Corman. Supposed B movie maker with undeniable grade A class.
He’s Opie Cunningham, dammit. Of course he had the confidence to do whatever he wanted, including make a Bryce Dallas Howard…
Legends!
Loved him in Vice City!
I thought for sure they were going to talk about the unreleased Grandtheft auto movie that was based on the video game because I was unaware of the actual 1977 film
Matt, Conan, and Sona, thank you for a wonderful podcast every time. it is delightfully, entertaining and refreshing.
Follow-up question I wondered about🤔 :
At 4:45 Ron refers to a script “a slice of life about a guy home from college in Hollywood”
Does he still have the script and did anything ever get made from that🤔
This was a genius social media move with the title, film nerd so I knew but well done 👍
There's about to be a bunch of clueless gamers in the comments.
Yes
They should make a bit out of that
@@QuarkXQuasar Hopefully they won't let it die for no apparent reason and not make use of their giant audience.
I already know of the movie, but the term "Grand Theft Auto" is so synonymous with the games that it still threw me off.
I see what you did there...
What a beast
That some list of great directors.Wow
From the interview, Ron Howard started directing GTA after his 23rd birthday, not 21st.
Eat My Dust was the next thing after Smokey and the Bandit. I loved it at 14. “Come on Smokey…Eat My Dust!” You can be proud that you gave a 14 year old fat kid who loved Happy Days and American Graffiti, not the least of I LOVED Andy Griffith Show…I digress, you gave me something to laugh with for all 14 years of my life. I can’t thank you enough person who is reading this for reading my thanks to Ron Howard for occupying such a huge portion of my formative brain and heart.
just a note, Eat My Dust was released a year before Smokey and the Bandit
Before UA-cam, I always wondered if it would be feasible to buy late night infomercial blocks to get a show or movie on television. Buypass hollywood and get a product on screen in front of an audience. I still wonder if that would have been a possibility.
Unlikely. The reason there are late night infomercials is because no company is going to pay for air time late at night. Ads pay the stations bills, so they air ads all the time at night, going for quantity over quality. If you would want to air a show in that slot, you have to outbid the infomercial company, which would probably be expensive.
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the comment section. They're refering to the 1977 book based on the movie that was released in the first decade of cinema, such movie based on a videogame from the 19th century, which was inspired by a conversation that took place in an old western salloon between jamaican salesman Seejay Johnson and dustch businessman Trev Orph Lips
You said video game from the 19th century and all I'm picturing is a kid in the back of a wagon playing Oregon Trail while on the actual Oregon Trail
19th century?
I'm still waiting for Ron Howard to make that movie about the killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason.
Nice 💙
He looks and sounds so much younger than his 70 years
“The lemonade….. look at the lemonade!”
very good
Yep, tuned in because I thought we somehow missed he wrote the script for the video game …
I thought they were talking about an upcoming movie adaptation of the game.
Thank you guys for clearing up that Ron did not in fact direct a video game in 1977. We were all so confused 🙄😅🤦♂️
The question Conan didn’t dare ask is What happened to Chuck? What did you do to Chuck, Ron?!
Weird, wasn't it? He just disappeared. Poof😂
[clueless gamer raises hand] Whaaat Ron Howard was going to direct GT...oh this is something completely different and non related. haha.
I want to see A-list actors and directors do a public access show for a local channel in rural Nebraska and tell nobody.
Then 3 years later the internet finds out.
The premise:
A once wealthy actor is forced to move back home into his now dead parent’s home where he sets up traps to catch and eat wildlife
We got Ron Howard talking about GTA 50 years after the fact, before we got GTA VI?
Was born in 1991. Got very confused when I saw this lol
For the first 3 minutes I thought he was talking about the game. lol
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Ron Howard wrote the game. That guy does a lot of crazy 💩
It's still believable that he would write the script for GTA the video game lol
Unfortunately those rights are sealed because Corman secured the rights so no one can make any film related to the movie
Ron Howard is a much better film maker than actor as much as I appreciate his portrayal of Opie
Lmao Rockstar wishes they could get Ron Howard as a director 😅
San Andreas!
Yeah, if I was at that table I would undoubtedly spend 98% of the time talking only to Sona, too
So many is going to think he wrote GTA 5 😂
Darlene likes fast cars... Hoover likes Darlene
Jim's early puppet stuff reminds me of Ernie Kovacs, in it's inventiveness and risk taking.
Rockstar Games has a chance to do something incredibly funny
Oh it’d be so nice if the internet was that open and free to find success. I feel like that’s kind of a false dream.
You can make a bunch of stuff that no one ever sees because of “the algorithm.”
If it was simply getting it out there that would be awesome, but promotion and advertising and marketing mean more than ever unfortunately.
i can't wait gta will be adapted by uwe boll
Since there seems to be confusion in the comment section - they're talking about the first installment of the now legendary GTA video game series, which Ron started developing in the early 90s. Yes, this guy can do it all.
🤣
thanks for clearing that up, this explains a lot!
O.G. Opie was a legendary thug in that series.
Awesome! I always wondered why he starred in a terrible film like “Eat My Dust.”
We went to see EMD (free tickets) and sat next to an older couple who claimed to be the parents of a "good friend" to Ron, who also worked on the movie. His name was listed in the opening credits, and "mom" never stopped talking about him. (Bad movie.)
Hey Conan... Today was India vs Ireland match in NY and We beat the SIX out of their Tayto Eating leprechaun's asses... Kidding... They played well... But they're against India... No 1 Cricket team in the world.... So match didn't go their way... Anyways Love you Cons...❤
It really bothers me that I pay for UA-cam without commercials
And these video creators for UA-cam are putting commercials in their content …
And getting rich off of it by the way …..
I pay a premium for no commercials
UA-cam should ban these commercials within the content …. Because it’s not fair for the people who pay for the premium……….
couldn,t agree more
It's the American hospitality business model. Content creators make minimum wage, they only get a fraction of the revenue. They need to supplement these with tips: ads, Patreon, raffles, etc.
The issue is YT not paying a fair price for the content they sell ad revenue for.
As a counterargument: TV shows have been using product placement and direct promotions in shows for decades. While also having ad breaks and paying for the subscription.
Nothing has changed.
Also, use an ad blocker for your browser if you watch on a computer/laptop. No ads, no subscription. Skip through sponsor nonsense.
There's a lot of confused video game fans in the comments now.
Ron Howard is directing GTA6?
It's a movie from the late 70s
What!!?!?!?
Not the video game.
Hi Conan. I need a friend. Feeling lonely
Village of the Giants. Great Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. Just a terrible, terrible movie. 😂
Oh no, I can't stand it when late night hosts have these mysterious "voice issues" that nobody else (or for example podcast hosts) ever in their lifetimes had...
Conan's jacket & skinny tie fetish annoys me so much. You're not an 80's keyboardist, Conan!
God he is sick. I understand your show is important and people are relying on you to be there, but really, I'm sure everyone would understand if you took a day. just saying
WAIT WHAT THE F*CK???????????????????
ok misleading a** title
first
Just a heads up to anyone who thinks he is talking about making a new GTA movie, he isn't.
As we all know, 99.99% of movies based on video games are absolute trash.
Unsubscribing because of your ads.....
Sorry, NO: he's a HOWARD. His foot wasn't just in the door, it was THROUGH IT.
✅Instant employment.
arrogant. acts like roger corman did nothing for him
Did you watch the whole interview?
