Rob Reiner And Albert Brooks On Their Revealing Documentary: Surprising Stories On Kubrick, The Lost Johnny Carson Tapes, And The Iconic Movie Brooks Turned Down – Behind The Lens


Watch a video interview with longtime friends Rob Reiner and Albert Brooks about their remarkable careers for Deadline's award-season series 'Behind The Lens.'

Reiner explains the idea for the film was to do sort of a My Dinner With Andre- style conversation between the two lifelong friends who met at Beverly Hills High School in the 60’s, and that in turn gave Reiner the opportunity to generously pepper it with priceless clips and footage from Brooks’ famous comedy routines, all seven of the films he has directed, and many more in which he appeared including his Oscar nominated turn in Broadcast News, and his fine dramatic work in movies like Drive. We also talk about the changing nature of the business, what they think about streaming, and so much more including upcoming projects like Reiner’s sequel to his classic mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap which is now in post-production, as well as Brooks’ next film Ella McKay in which he co-stars for his Broadcast News director James L.Brooks.
