Zitat des Tages von Kim Jee-woon:
I work from opposites to opposites, in a way. It's finding one thing and then doing the other from film to film. So maybe after 'I Saw the Devil,' I might do something like 'I Saw the Angel' or perhaps something warm and happy.
My background is in acting, so I enjoy being able to show what I'm looking for. With acting, it's very immediate when you show someone what you're looking for, and the feedback is instantaneous as well.
I've been thinking of doing a sci-fi thriller or a sci-fi noir, if that's possible.
Whatever it is that I thirst for in my current project tends to turn up in my following project.
'The Good, the Bad, the Weird' is about individuals fulfilling their desires and just going the distance to fulfill that desire.
Lionsgate and Lorenzo di Bonaventura saw my Korean Western-style film, 'The Good, the Bad, the Weird,' and probably felt that I would be right for 'The Last Stand,' which could be classified as a modern Western.
One quality that a director needs to acquire in Hollywood is to understand the system and figure out how to work within the system to express one's own ideas.
The Western is as American as a film can get - there's the discovery of a frontier, the element of a showdown, revenge, and determining the best gunman. There's a certain masculinity to the Western that really appealed to me, and I've always wanted to do a Western in Hollywood.
I want to work with a wide range of genres because it gives each film a different cinematic energy.
