I was always looking for a career that could combine my creative interests with my technical side, and it ends up directing films is the perfect combination.

I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career.

Certainly there's pressure while your making the movie.

In a science fiction movie, the first act is a little longer than it is in most movies because there is so much world building to do.

Sometimes with these things all the pieces fall into place. I mean, we've been talking about this for years and we don't have the script now, but sometimes things fall into place very quickly, and if everything lines up it could happen.

You want the film to be critically successful - you certainly want the film to be financially successful so that you can...well, because that's how movies like this are made, you know, they need to make money. But as a director, you can only make the movie that you want to make.

Disney's clearly in the business of doing giant tent pole movies based on properties that they own. And that's what they should be doing because they're great at doing that.
