I think it's possible to make a blockbuster that is actually emotional. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.

I think you can get away with being a bit more political in science fiction.

Our story is a 'once upon a time', but it's not a 'happy ever after'.

I think whenever you cast someone, someone's going to be critical about it.

Once you know the world you know how your character fits into it.

In a way I think why the Ghost story is very relatable to a large audience is that it's kind of a coming of age story and it's a realisation of 'I am what I am - what has happened to me, good or bad, that is the sum of who I am now'.

I don't love balls and sleeping beauties, that kind of thing. I think the great thing about 'Snow White' is those images have scarred me since I was a child with the Queen, the mirror, the taking of the heart, the huntsman and the enchanted forest.
