There are a lot of limitations so you have to ultimately focus on what you think the most important storyline is.

So Disney has their full support behind it, which is great, but again it's got to be the right story. It's got to be a script that's up to snuff and worth going back for. The idea's there, the ambition's there, the excitement's there; but we need to have all the pieces in place before they would ever pull the trigger on that.

That's the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people.

Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.

When I was in architecture school, rather than giving us drafting boards and t-squares and lead pencils and stuff they gave us all the same tools that places like Digital Domain and ILM used to make features films or special effects. They gave us all these digital tools like Alias and Mya and Soft Image and all these kind of high-end computers, so I came out of architecture school knowing how to use all that stuff. And I started making short films at night.

I'm a huge electronic-music fan.

You never watch movies the same as you do when you're a kid, ever again.
