I find that in the process of making a film you're constantly discovering things that you never even imagined would work at the beginning.

In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.

The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.

I don’t really like the Hollywood blockbuster bandwagon that exists right now. The industry and the advent of all the technology, has kind of lost its way. It’s become very franchise driven and superhero driven.

I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.

Rivalry doesn't help anybody.
