Zitat des Tages von Frank Darabont:
A director shouldn't get in the way of the movie, the story should.
I think once you've finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member.
To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film.
Visual storytelling of one kind or another has been around since cavemen were drawing on the walls.
I am fascinated with times past.
And I don't think I'm giving away any secrets here, but there are a lot of terrible scripts in this town.
One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life,' which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.

Stanley Kubrick was a big inspiration. People accuse me of never using my own material. But when did Kubrick? You look at his films and they are completely unique... completely separate entities.
Some of us have great original ideas and some of us depend on adaptations.
I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.
I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.
