I think what I love about science fiction and what sci-fi can be really good at is obviously you're working with outlandish concepts that have very little to do with the real world, like time travel for instance.

With 'Brick,' I wrote the script when I was 23 and didn't make the movie until I was 30.

The fanboy community can smell in an instant, like smelling fear, when something was tailor-made in order to reach them as a demographic.

In almost the same way you know what your grandmother looks and sounds like, you know what Bruce Willis looks and sounds like.

My favorite sci-fi always uses its hook to amplify some bigger theme or idea - some emotional thrust.

I just don't think CGI is up to manipulating the human face yet. I feel like you can get away with it with aliens or monsters or something that's intentionally foreign, but I have yet to see anything digital to do with the human face that doesn't just look ridiculous.
