The 'Monster Hunter' world includes these huge deserts that make the Gobi Desert look like a sandbox, and they have ships that sail through the sand.

DVD ushered in this era when you had to have additional footage, deleted scenes, things like that. There was no call for that back when we were just doing VHS cassettes and LaserDiscs.
- Adventure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We are definitely modernizing 'The Three Musketeers' without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece. But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don't take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance, and adventure.
- Evil

- Nov 07, 2020
There's another game that Capcom, who make 'Resident Evil,' have created called 'Monster Hunter,' which is these amazing, amazing creatures in these fantastical realms, I'm very excited about that.

My grandfather, who brought me up, was a coal miner. I visited the mines with him. I remember it vividly. It was horrible. I'm glad I didn't go into the family business.

I think for the disaster to work and the drama to work, you really need to feel like you're really in that world.

When I first came to Hollywood to make 'Mortal Kombat' back in the day, there was this rule that female-led action movies don't work and American studios didn't want to make them.
- Eyes

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a gamer, and I became obsessed with 'Resident Evil.' I played the first two games back to back. It took me, like, 10 days. I disappeared from view. Stayed in my apartment. Didn't return anyone's calls. After 10 days, I emerged with 10 days' worth of stubble and kind of bloodshot eyes going, 'I love this! We have to turn it into a movie.'
- Loved

- Nov 07, 2020

Franchises need to evolve or die.

- Nov 07, 2020
When 'Mortal Kombat' came out, I was living in an apartment in the Venice Canals in L.A. I didn't get paid a huge amount of money, so I had a nice apartment, but I couldn't afford to have it furnished. It was kind of like Robert De Niro's apartment in 'Heat': It looked like I was ready to walk away from it in ten seconds, because there was nothing.
- Law

- Nov 07, 2020
My first movie that came out - 'Shopping,' a British movie starring Jude Law and Sadie Frost - there were certain journalists in the U.K. who just eviscerated that movie.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you watch movies in Britain, the reaction when people hate a movie is... they just politely get up and leave at the end. And when they love a movie... they just politely get up and leave at the end.
- Doing

- Nov 07, 2020
I've always felt that there's a lot of similarity between doing a comedy and doing a scary movie because jokes and scares are all about timing. If you give the punch line too early or too late, the joke falls flat. And it's the same with a scare.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a huge, huge fan of Blu-ray. I think the picture and the sound quality is just such a massive improvement, and I think for movies like 'Event Horizon,' where the image is a key part of that film, and also the sound, as well, in any scary movie is an important element.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think if you're watching 'Dumb and Dumber,' I don't know whether you need to buy the Blu-ray of a comedy or something like that. But if you're watching 'Event Horizon,' 'Death Race,' 'Alien vs. Predator' I mean, I think these movies are definitely enhanced by the Blu-ray experience.
- Law

- Nov 07, 2020
I've always - from my very first film, 'Shopping,' which was Jude Law and Sadie Frost, I mean, I've always liked strong women characters in films.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always seen my movies in particular as being an immersive experience. I mean, with the technology at my disposal, I've always tried to make them as immersive an experience as possible.

Apocalyptic movies tend to thrive when people are concerned about the state of the world.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think when people think of Pompeii, they think it was just destroyed by the volcano. Yes, it was the eruption of the volcano that eventually caused the pyroclastic surge that swept over Pompeii and destroyed it for good. But also, they had to face the effects of a very extreme earthquake and a tidal wave that swept in from the Bay of Naples.
- Emotional
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the things that struck me when I was a kid and I was learning about Pompeii was these figures that were frozen in the moments of their death. It is very powerful imagery, and it is very emotional and very evocative.
- Insane

- Nov 07, 2020
For 'Monster Hunter,' we needed insane landscapes.
- He

- Nov 07, 2020
Tolkien was influenced by South Africa when he was writing 'Lord of the Rings.' It's really epic scenery.

I grew up in the north of England, in New Castle, which is where Hadrian's Wall starts on the east coast of England and then goes across to the west.
- Cheap

- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a kid, every field trip was to some Roman fort because it was cheap and free.

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think it would be possible for me to respect people like Ridley Scott or James Cameron more than I already do. They're gods of filmmaking.
- Duty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really believe that, as filmmakers, we have a duty, which is, if we're asking people to pay a premium price for a 3D ticket, we have a duty to deliver a premium product.
- Being

- Nov 07, 2020
The idea of being able to polish something for nine months - it's the perfect way to hone your film.

I'm a big gamer.

'Pompeii' is definitely a passion project for me.
- Lifelong

- Nov 07, 2020
'Pompeii' is kind of a lifelong obsession for me.
- Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't remember who said, 'No film is completed, just abandoned,' but I think most filmmakers will tell you that they could endlessly fiddle with their films for the next couple of decades, you know, changing things, altering things.
- Favorite
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love 'Death Race.' It's one of my favorite films.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started doing commercials in 2008 right after we released 'Death Race,' and the reason was that I spent two years prepping Death Race and building all these custom rigs to shoot cars in the most dynamic and exciting way.
- Vision
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way it works in commercials is they come to you with the script, and then you do the visual, you do the storyboards, and you give your vision of it, but it's very much their baby. You just kind of put your polish and sheen on it and your interpretation of it, but it's very much the agency's idea.
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're writing, it's a very solitary job. It's you and your word processor and a cup of tea.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I made my first film, 'Shopping,' the reviews were incredibly snooty. They said things like, 'Jude Law is too pretty for the role,' and that's why I don't respect the British press. That kind of small-minded thing doesn't consider what people like.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't read reviews anymore.
- Interested
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't make films for critics, and I'm not particularly interested in what they have to say, and they don't have a bearing on my audiences.
