I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries. Jay Roach andersoncommentarydavid Change image and share on social
My favorite laser disk ever was the laser disk for The Graduate, which had a commentary track that wasn't even the filmmakers, it was a professor, some film criticism guy who just happen to be this amazing commentator who went off into the whole theory of comedy.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production. Jay Roach carrydvdfigure Change image and share on social
But I couldn't cut that whole septic tank scene out because the audience liked it so much. So I sort of fell right back into getting a cheap laugh, but I still loved it. Jay Roach audiencebackcheap Change image and share on social
I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves. Jay Roach addictaddictioncontrol share on social
We collaborate on everything. I'm involved in the writing and pre-production. There's a whole bunch of people who keep in touch at every step about everything. Jay Roach bunchcollaborateinvolve Change image and share on social
I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience. Jay Roach commentaryexperiencefilm Change image and share on social
Because I actually find the next take after they've controlled it a little bit and repressed the laughter is actually a really interesting take, because that's still going on underneath the surface. That struggle to maintain composure becomes part of the joy of the scene. Jay Roach bitecomposurecontrol share on social
My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone. Jay Roach bigcastcut Change image and share on social
When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience. Jay Roach audiencefilmhard Change image and share on social
