I don't think anybody wants to see a dour Star Trek movie.

One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.

There is no suspense in inevitability.

I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.

Suffice it to say, there are some very big ideas in Prometheus and, therefore, it covers a very vast expanse of time.

I've always been really interested in the future, and I feel like all of the movies that I've been exposed to, over the course of the last 20 to 30 years, have shown me a future that I don't really want to be living in.

It's television. The reality of it is, if you go on the boards and people are saying, "I saw that coming," or "This is lame," or "I can't believe they're doing this again..." Having been one of those people myself, I know better, and try to avoid it.
