Its pretty rare for companies to have a snooping policy, although it is getting more common.

It was great. I mean, it's a blast directing underwater stuff.

Yeah, getting the company that would help advertise and cross promote the movie on the release was an important factor for New Line, so we went out to a lot of different companies.

So then I started doing a lot of episodic TV, just car chases or helicopter chases or whatever.

You have to understand the tone of the movie, because if it's supposed to be funny, it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff, but you have to really understand the tone of what you're doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

I like Soderbergh, Spielberg, Lucas. There's a lot of talented guys out there obviously, and if you're a fan of films, you have to look at that stuff and learn from them.

I jumped 18 cars on a motorcycle, so I did almost everything.
