I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.

I think if we ever encountered aliens, even communicating with them would be really, really difficult.

It's ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won't even read science fiction books.

During my career I’ve enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.

I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I'm a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It's the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds.

I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.

Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.
