Even if I had $200 million, I’m very wary of overusing CGI. I think it’s a great tool and it can be used really effectively, but I feel like it does tend to be overused and especially in sci-fi stuff.

Belgrade has kind of a Dublinesque, dear-dirty charm.

I mean, the first “Back to the Future” is kind of a perfect script, I think. In terms of handling time travel the best, it depends on your definition. To me, that means it effectively uses it in the story.

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

You come out of each movie just thinking, "God, if we can fool them into letting us make just one more, we can get it right."

It's best if I stay out of future plans and let time go on.

Writing sucks. I think it's terrible. Writing is not fun, and don't trust anyone who claims to enjoy it. Liars!
