If 'Trek' is a hit, we'd love to do a series of films - a regular event. Look at James Bond's films. They've been around since the early sixties.
I did 'Nobody Walks' right after 'Dredd. ' Well, actually, I got off the plane from Capetown where we shot 'Dredd' and tested for 'Being Flynn' that same day. Then I came out to L. A. to make this film right after that so it was all very back to back.
What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am.
The film [Kite Runner] was not as big a hit in the United States as it was worldwide, I think it may have been swallowed up by all the other movies it had to go up against.
The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.
Trying to film a movie on a diet is hard enough, I can't imagine how it would be on drugs.
I love watching people listen. And on film often some of the best moments if you think about favorite moments on film, often the person isn't even talking.
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.
The film [Stalker] needs to be slower and duller at the start so that the viewers who walked into the wrong theatre have time to leave before the main action starts.
I hope to do films. Right now I'm just doing projects that are interesting.
You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
[Frida Farell] also wanted the film to serve as a cautionary tale for young women - to say, "Be careful when an attractive man asks you to go to a casting or a photo shoot, because it might be a demon in disguise. "
All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy.
Certainly in the second film [Maigret's Dead Man], which is quite a more unpleasant and darker story, it's quite different in tone and feel.
I have always been first and foremost a cinephile, so making references to other films is second nature to me.
I've always felt that I've made films, period. I wanted to leave the "ghetto. " And here I am, I'm out.
If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.
There's the argument that you can relate to someone who's completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film, then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character.
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
