I think the idea was to make a horror film that became a science-fiction film with a lot of melodramatic tropes.

When you make something that everyone likes, it's very easy to say, "Well, I'll just repeat that." Because that was easy. I have a formula. But creatively, it's not very interesting.

I grew up in the '80s and John Hughes was the filmmaker making serious movies for teenagers.

I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.

My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.

The act of creation can be an extreme violent experience.

And to be fair, most documentaries are half an hour too long, anyway. Let's not kid ourselves. Most movies are an hour too long. I will say that the internet has changed everything in terms of distribution and because of iTunes and other outlets like that, length is no longer something you really think about, in my opinion. It's irrelevant.
