How Scorsese and Spielberg Rose to Fame 

Interesting point, I think there’s two ways of looking at it; on the one hand Scorsese often works with popular actors who can generally attract audiences on their own (DeNiro, DiCaprio for example) and as such the frequent collaboration can not only help with the box office but also with the quality of the film, as the actor and director can bring the best out of each other. On the other hand, A diversification of cast will never be a bad thing, he seems to have taken a liking to Jesse Plemons, with a small role in The Irishman and now being promoted to the lead in Killer’s of the Flower Moon. Ultimately the type of character driven films Scorsese often makes lend themselves to a strong central actor, and if Scorsese works with those he knows well it will likely be to the benefit of the film in my opinion. Thanks for your comment!

@@ArcherGreen I think we've arrived at the point that I wanted to voice but didn't form correctly in my mind or come to the conclusion of until I saw your comment! That Scorsese is very much a centralised character kind of director and Spielberg's a world builder kind of director (even when he's making a movie with a centralised character (Indy, Oskar, the kid in Ready Player One etc), he's developing the, let's say non-diegetic world beyond that character, whereas I feel like Scorsese's movies develop the diegetic world which surrounds the character - which may or may not be the draw for the movies, depending on if you want to watch a movie about a person or a movie about a person in a world). Going back to the Edgar thing, once he stopped re-using Pegg and Frost (hey, the Cornetto Trilogy is untouchable!), he stopped telling centralised mini-stories of these paired character actors and started moving into a world of different open world stories (Pilgrim, Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho) that have a broader - or at least more varied - appeal.

For sure, just waiting on the script for the Wright video then it will be full steam ahead!

@@ArcherGreen would love your help scripting it
