I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.

Films are fantastic - they are one of the peaks of human narrative. But I'm sorry to break the news to the movie industry: So is a video game.

Well I think effects are tools

I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.

The idea for me is that if the movie connects with you the way I want it to connect with you, you should be experiencing both the horror and the wonder as a child would. From a child's point of view. When we're kids, brutality registers differently than when we are adults. Because as adults, we get too used to violence.

As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut.

I don't want to move over to Beverly Hills. My goal is to make the movies I want to make and support the people I want to support. That's it.
