I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'
Joss WhedonThe fact of the matter is fame predates even the age of cinema. There's always been fame, there's always been the caveman who's prettier or killed a bigger lion, or somebody started a story about a guy.
Joss WhedonI went to Berlin and Warsaw and Krakรณw to do research. Right after we got started, I had already booked this trip, so I went. Seeing the history and the posters, and hearing from the guy certain phrases and words and images, it's stunning how much they're playing from the handbook of the little mustache that isn't Chaplin. With Rudy Giuliani as Mussolini.
Joss WhedonI don't know video games.The last video game I played, apart from Dance Dance Revolution at Jeremy's house, which I was very good at - Scarlett [Johansson] and I will always have "Billie Jean" - was Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo. I'm from the Dark Ages.
Joss WhedonPeople want the tragedy. They need things to go wrong, they need the tension. In my characters thereโs a core of trust and love that Iโm very committed to. These guys would die for each other, and itโs very beautiful. But at the same time, you canโt keep that safety. Things have to go wrong, bad things have to happen.
