We are suffering from a glut of too many 3-D movies and not enough screens.
'My Fair Godmother's' movie rights sold to the producer who did 'Freaky Friday,' 'Princess Diaries,' and one of my favorite movies - 'Sky High.'
'Pacific Rim,' for me, was a chance to touch on those old Toho monster movies. 'Godzilla' and 'Rodan'... and then 'Ultraman' and 'Robotech' and all those kinds of things.
I watched all these movies like 'King Kong' and 'Godzilla' when I was growing up, and the fact that dinosaurs actually lived on this earth, the fact that they are not fake, made them very fascinating.
I was lucky enough to have made a tonne of mistakes and be kind of frustrated. I was working in the movies for 15 years before I did 'Paranormal Activity,' so I was lucky enough to have that experience. So instead of trying to make, like, 'Godzilla' after 'Paranormal Activity,' I said, 'Let's keep making inexpensive movies.'
The so-called 'last golden age,' in the 1970s, most of those movies were independent films.
When we talk about Oscars, it's almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol. So, a movie like 'The Artist' that costs $14 million, has to go out and compete with movies that cost $140 million. How does David deal with Goliath?
Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
I like the good feeling movies.
All my good movies, nobody sees.
It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.
But most good movies have a gun in them.
I just make good movies. That's the way I thank my fans.
I have worked on very good movies that have been buried, and I've worked on some resounding mediocrities that have been paraded through the marketplace like they were masterpieces.
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
I like good movies. Not to say that there aren't wonderful sci-fi films out there, but it's not where I go first. It's not where I go first in the rental aisle, I should say.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
I love scary movies. I like blood and gore, and I love Halloween movies.
