Producer Randall Emmett Talks Marty and SILENCE

You went to school in New York, is it nice to be back in the city?
I've been coming a lot for the Martin Scorsese movie that we're going to do next year: "Silence." It's always on the front of my mind. It's taken over my life. I got involved in January or February of this year and we went to Cannes and sold the movie internationally. Marty came and it was awesome. Now we're starting on July 10 of next year in Taiwan.

That is a film that Scorsese has been trying to make for two decades. Had you followed its progress?
I did, and maybe about two years ago it came around. Kind of before "The Wolf of Wall Street," they were talking about doing it. I wanted to do it then, but Marty went off to do "Wolf" and then it came back around. He was very aggressive in making sure the movie was going to get made under any circumstance. I flew to New York and sat with him. It was a very simple interview. He said, "Well, tell me about you." I said, "I went to film school about 20 blocks from here. It's an honor to be in the room with you." What else am I going to say? He said, "So what do you think of the movie?" I said, "What am I going to tell you, Mr. Scorsese? Am I going to sit here and tell you were to put the light? All I have to say is one thing: Whatever you want, you can have. I just want to be side by side with you. It'll be like my graduate film school." He started laughing and said, "I like this kid." The rest is history.

You've produced over 70 films, but "Silence" seems like another level.
It's the pinnacle for any actor or producer or financier. For me, going to film school, I don't think I ever thought in my mind I would make a Martin Scorsese movie. When you go into Hollywood, you just think, "I'm going to make the best films I can get access to and grow as a producer and financier." The moment came and it was surreal. When you're talking about movies -- and even when you talk about actors some times -- you're talking about it because you're looking at it from a business perspective. Then when you get into a room, it all goes away. You can say all the shit you want to say, and then Martin Scorsese is sitting and staring at you going, "What do you think?" You're like, "What?" There were these moments in the south of France when we were sitting after doing the work all day. It's 6 or 7 o'clock at night and we're having a glass of wine, and he starts talking about film preservation and restoration. It's just surreal. The greatest filmmaker talking about movies and making "Raging Bull." It's overload.
