Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.

They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em.

Certain remakes are great. Carpenter's The Thing is better than the original.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.

Same thing, like my commercials are often times really funny because I tend to find 30 seconds is a really good amount of time to tell a joke.

After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London.
