There have been 14 versions that I can find of Burke & Hare movies. They have all been horror films and all the movies have taken place in Victorian times, which doesn’t make any sense.
In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they’ll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
‘Kill Bill’ is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I’ve always been optimistic. And I have a feeling that it happened because of going to all those movies with my grandmother in the ‘40s because there was no cynicism.
Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman Begins’ set the bar very high for the superhero movie, as it showed that you could get a great cast for these movies and take a real filmmaker’s perspective.
I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there’s no compromising.
I love it, man; I’m 23 years old and I’m lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can’t believe it’s happening.
Television in itself is a very big platform, and movies are even bigger. So we cannot compare both of them.
I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.
Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it’s story heavy, it’s about ideas.
The good guys in my movies mind their own business, and they don’t judge other people. And the bad guys are jealous; they judge other people without knowing the whole story. They want all the attention, and they’re mean spirited.
I never had an imaginary friend, just imaginary circumstances. I was so into the Indiana Jones movies, and I would constantly reenact circumstances. I broke my left arm three times, two of which were me trying to be Indiana Jones.
A man becomes what he dreams. And I dreamed of being in the movies. I was brought up on Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, and Cary Grant.
The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It’s being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can’t watch it. It turns me off.
The person that made me want to make movies, and the reason I do films, is Bruce Lee. He was an incredible actor, and he had a lot of charisma. Handsome, action, you know, everything was there. I loved Bruce Lee.
I was directing as a kid in movies, and that was always my strongest interest. When I was under contract at Universal, I conned an editing room out of them and spent my money to rent a camera and shoot film and make some movies.
Growing up I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, I watched big stars like Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung on the big screens.
I’m home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.
I saw some Pixar movies like ‘The Incredibles’ and thought, ‘This is extraordinary. These are some of the best movies I’ve seen.’
I’ve got a reputation for doing a certain type of film: lads’ movies that glamorise violence. The more my reputation as a bad boy grows, the more my life moves away from that.
There’s a classic element that all good Disney movies have. It really comes down to the storytelling, I think. It manages to push all of these buttons inside of us; there’s a sentimentality.
I rarely see one of the ‘summer blockbuster’ movies. I’d like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
Growing up, my best friend was the movie theaters. I’d go to the movies every week, multiple times a week, with my dad or alone.
I would really love to do the score for movies. Pick the music and work with composers. I don’t know if I’d be any good at it, but I love music.
I don’t miss acting. I don’t even see movies. I don’t see plays. I don’t watch television.
