Q&A: Brian Grazer And Ron Howard On 25 Years Together As Imagine Partners
UPDATE EXCLUSIVE: Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Ron Howard have reached a milestone unusual in Hollywood: partners for 25 years. When they first got together, Grazer was a TV producer. Howard, after growing up on the compact screen in The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days, had only directed a couple of TV movies and the shallow budget Roger Corman-produced Grand Theft Auto. Grazer and Howard have been at it together ever since, building a company that over 25 years has been one of the most consistent generators of content. Their TV series output includes 24, Parenthood, Arrested Development and Friday Night Lights; their movies have grossed $13.5 billion worldwide. That includes A Beautiful Mind, which won Howard the Academy Award for Best Director. Grazer and Howard shared Leading Picture Oscars that darkness as well. Not everything they’ve done has succeeded, of course. They they took their company common and repurchased the shares; they helped launched and fold the online undertaking Pop.com; their most recent film together, the mature person comedy The Dilemma, was a misfire that cr
According to CNN Entertainment, the recent uproar over the line "Electric cars are gay", in Ron Howard’s latest production, ‘Dilemma’ will not result in Howard editing the joke out of the movie. Howard said, "I believe in sensitivity but not censorship." He added, "if storytellers, comedians, actors and artists are strong-armed into making creative changes, it will endanger comedy as both entertainment and a provoker of thought."
Both GLAAD and CNN’s Anderson Cooper own protested the line in the production, declaring the joke hurtful and insensitive. Anger over the line has been escalated by the recent string of LGBT suicides due to bullying.
But is censorship something we should be promoting? There’s a strange motivation in this nation to throw Hollywood under the bus during trying times, blaming it for influencing society in a negative way. Part of living in a free community is putting up with things that may offend you. The real culprit behind the suffering of LGBT Americans, particularly LGBT teens is the uncomplicated fact that we are still not equal citizens in this country. The fact that we’ve lost so many
"How is she? She's... she's a *mermaid*! I don't comprehend. All my experience, I've been waiting for someone, and when I spot her, she's a fish." We watched "Splash"(1984) directed by Ron Howard and we wish, we wish, we desire we were a fish. Tom Hanks really earns his reputation as the "everyman" in this movie and his chemistry with the ethereal Daryl Hannah is off the charts. They just don't make fantasy movies like they did in the '80s. The script is still humorous as hell with Hanks and John Candy playing so well off each other as brothers and Hannah's Madison stealing every scene she's in. At times it really plays like a live action updated Little Mermaid but some of the best moments arrive from what the script doesnt relate us. Did Madison make a deal with a Sea Witch to fetch her legs? Will Allen get a tail if stays with Madison? Did the events in Freddie's letters to Penthouse Forum really happen? Ron Howard trusted the audience to fill in the blanks and Splash is a better movie for it. And by the way - Disey+ removed the weird CGI hair extensions so we can marvel at Daryl's bum - as Ron always intended.

I get annoyed when a character’s words don’t ring true.
Even if the character is an ass and what he says is offensive (which apparently applies to the character that Vince Vaughn plays in The Dilemma), does that mean he shouldn’t speak that way?
Ron Howard, director of The Dilemma (set for a January release), was asked by gay groups to delete a line about an electric machine being “gay” from the comedy on the grounds that it’s insensitive to gay youth, whose suffering has resulted in a recent wave of suicides.
I approve that young people who are bashed and bullied should be protected, I’m not sure that telling filmmakers to “fix” insulting language is the way to do it.
It’s important that films and television reflect what’s going on in real life. There are people out there who say and do the incorrect things, but isn’t it superior to show the world what that looks like?
Ron Howard wrote an explanation to a former colleague of mine, LA Times columnist Patrick Goldstein. Howard wrote: “I feel that our motion picture is taking additional heat as an emblem for many movies and TV shows that preceded i
