If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.
Ben WheatleyI think CGI is interesting but it's too expensive and limiting in terms of what you can do shot-by-shot.
Ben WheatleyThe only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.
Ben WheatleyI tend to shoot really quick so you don't get the problems you might get on a traditional film where you shoot one way, then another, and it's pissing down with rain and they won't cut together. We shoot so fast we can incorporate the weather into it. The worst weather we had was when they were in the caravan up the mountain and there was no cover. One man's weather is another man's production value. To create the sleet would cost a fortune but we got it for free so we'll just have to go with it.
Ben WheatleyI've had pretty much the same crew for all the films that I've made, and I've managed to have really nice, calm, funny people. That is a big part of it, a family feeling of warmth and finding something interesting and making a platform for them to perform. It's a very difficult job, acting, in that it's totally counterintuitive to how we are brought up.
