I don't believe that you can judge the worth of a movie in the atmosphere in which it comes out the first time. There's just so many reasons why some pictures don't catch on.

I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.

I think Pans Labyrinth is genius.

When the first movie to show the anger people have about the war is a grade Z zombie movie, that tells you all you need to know about how afraid of ruffling anyone's feathers people in the movie business are today.

When you make a 3-D movie you actually have to plan the way the visuals look because there's a parallax issue, and there's an issue of editing, you can't edit very quickly in 3-D because the eye won't adjust fast enough for it.

Editing is kind of a solitary job.

Finding a writer who can write decent kids' dialog and finding kids that can act realistically and not 'cute' is an effort.
