- Quality

- Nov 07, 2020
I bristle a little when the argument for film gets put into the nostalgia ghetto. Film is still the highest quality and best-looking image capture medium available. I don't think it always will be. The digital image will get better, and it will eventually surpass the quality of the film image, but it isn't there yet.
- Amplify

My favorite sci-fi always uses its hook to amplify some bigger theme or idea - some emotional thrust.
- Kind

Belgrade has kind of a Dublinesque, dear-dirty charm.
- Fool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You go from these high hopes when you're writing to just a desperate want of not making a complete fool of yourself by the end of it.
- Care

You never want to make a 'message movie', but you always want to be talking about something that you care about.

With 'Brick,' I wrote the script when I was 23 and didn't make the movie until I was 30.

I just don't think CGI is up to manipulating the human face yet. I feel like you can get away with it with aliens or monsters or something that's intentionally foreign, but I have yet to see anything digital to do with the human face that doesn't just look ridiculous.

Writing is not fun.
- Future

- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, the first 'Back to the Future' is kind of a perfect script, I think, in terms of handling time travel the best. It depends on your definition. To me, that means it effectively uses it in the story.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even if I had $200 million, I'm very wary of overusing CGI. I think it's a great tool and it can be used really effectively, but I feel like it does tend to be overused and especially in sci-fi stuff.
- Know

Well, you know, we all grew up as 'Star Wars' fans.

Showing your movie to an audience... it's like your kid doing a piano recital. 'Just let it not fail. Please.'
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself; it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done, I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big, mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.
- Humanity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ray Bradbury was the first author that I was really exposed to back in grade school. I'm a big Philip K. Dick fan, but the emotion and humanity that Bradbury brings to his stories and the way he uses sci-fi to get at the human heart is something that's unique and for me incredibly influential.
- Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Brick' there was the Dashiell Hammett influence, and with 'Brothers Bloom' there was a really strong Fellini influence - both those movies wore that on their sleeve.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love, like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys,' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively, the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel like people want to be surprised when they get out of the movies. They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's so much work to make a movie, and for me it has to get me off my butt. To get me actually writing you have to strike something inside, you have to hit a power main to get the energy. You have to strike something you care about.

The critical reaction to 'Bloom' has been similar to 'Brick.' There are people on board with it and people who are not.

I grew up having a sense of who Luke Skywalker is.
- Sit

- Nov 07, 2020
It took a while before I could sit across the table with Mark and not, every three seconds, think, 'I'm talking to Luke Skywalker.'

It was never in the plan for me to direct 'Episode IX,' so I don't know what's going to happen with it.

For me, I was entirely focused on 'Episode VIII' and having this experience, and now I'm just thinking of putting the movie out there and seeing how audiences respond to it.
- Certain Point

Luke Skywalker, right now, is the last Jedi. There's always wiggle room in these movies - everything is from a certain point of view - but coming into our story, he is the actual last of the Jedi.

The overwhelming reaction on set was everybody loved the porgs. And I love 'em, so you know what? I get it if people are a little wary of cuteness in the 'Star Wars' universe, but I personally love them, and I think they have their place in the movie.

I was a musical theater kid in high school.

I'm just randomly wandering around the Walt Disney studios making pew-pew sounds, trying to direct people, and nobody listens to me anymore. I'm turning into a Force ghost. It's a strange feeling.
