If I'm not in love with the script, there's nothing. It doesn't matter what you give me. It has to start with the script.

When you can come across a piece of material that's totally original and fun and completely satisfying, you jump on it.

At the end of the day, I like the spy genre, as opposed to the action movie genre, because spies are smart. The successful spies are the smarter spies.

From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.
