Following a pre-cellphone world of children on an adventure is incredibly appealing for me. These are the kinds of movies I fell in love with and made me want to be a filmmaker in the first place.
Most young American actors feel like teenagers.
We have to produce a high-quality show, but we have less and less time and money to do it. If you are using the tapeless approach to save money, you will.
There is a renaissance of really great genre entertainment happening. But it's become incredibly audience-specific.
That's one of the best things about the RED ONE - I can use all the best lenses that have been used in film forever.
'Leverage' is meant to be based in Boston. But in one episode we're in New York, then another in Chicago, Florida, and Eastern Europe.
There are an enormous amount of techniques I wanted to beta test in television. You can't take those risks on a $100 million movie.
The days of family entertainment seem to have left us.
When you look at our Godzilla, you won't feel any nostalgia.
'The Outpost' is an exciting fantasy with a strong female lead that will capture the imagination of fans of both 'Game of Thrones' and 'Wonder Woman.'
I always wish I had another shot at it. But, listen, 'Godzilla' is something that I grew up loving. We worked hard to go make one. We kind of blew it. I think everyone gets one.
There are three things that I'm addicted to when it comes to entertainment. In no particular order, One, I'm addicted to the cheer moment. 'Librarians' has plenty of them. Next, I feel that life is hard, and I want my entertainment fun, and 'Librarians' is fun as a Christmas party. And third, I like to be moved.
There are amazing behind-the-scenes technicians in Portland who didn't want to raise their families in L.A.
We all want our children to be terrific, but you can't force a child into being what you want it to be.
Portland has all the accoutrements of a big city, but the heart and soul of it is a small town, so that creates an intimacy in a large environment.
That transcends everything - skipping the transfer of dailies is a game-changer.
The truth is, we were sick of, every time we finished a movie, having to start all over again from nothing, going to a studio, pitching an idea, setting up a new office.
Filmmaking is a real democracy - it's up to the audience to vote with their tickets.
I like to get emotional when I watch my entertainment.
