If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.

When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...

I think the book struck me in a few ways that I thought very interesting to pick it as my first martial arts film. It has a very strong female character and it was very abundant in classic Chinese textures.

Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.

With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.

I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
