I think it's very interesting for a director that enjoys thrillers and mysteries like I do to have the challenge to do that.

When you're a kid and you see gangsters living the life, you kind of want to be like that.

If you do any thriller or horror movie a big part of the process is accounting for the cell phone.

It's hard to do a camera inside of a car. Non-Stop would have been impossible. Usually modern lenses you can focus up to the lens pretty much, but anamorphic you can't. You need like three feet.

Anamorphic doesn't really lend itself to the big shots.

I moved to Hollywood when I was 18. I never saw it as a disadvantage in any way. Quite the opposite.

I wanted to move away from the disaster airplane movies that we have seen in the past and do something that was more mysterious, and delay until the end the resolution of the mystery, and then have to deal with the plane itself.
