It looks a bit fake to me, but I could be wrong. I suspect the foliage doesn't match the flowers. The flowers remind me of a Protea, but it is very difficult to say.

It looks like a flower arrangement with Dracaena marginata providing the green foliage.

Maybe it's a pony tail or grass tree (Xanthorrhoea sp.) with some kind of protea arranged around it.... what movie is it from?

Leucospermum, member (genus) of Proteaceae, often called Pincushion, South African, also grown in NZ, Aus, Calif, Hawaii etc. Some Banksias (Australian genus of Proteaceae) also can look like a "pincushion"
