I'm open to comments. I'm open to objective points of view, because I've been very narrow and very subjective.
I was very lucky. I started my own commercial company.
I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.
I've always wanted to do a Crichton book. I really love his writing.
I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.
First cuts are a bitch for a director, because it's been so many months and you put your trust in your editor and you're going to see your film assembled for the first time. You look at it and go, This is terrible. I hate it.
How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?
I had life threats, because people accused me of approaching Brando as God and his son was Jesus. I literally had people saying my blood would run in the streets for doing that.
I was an actor... or, at least, I was trying to be an actor.
I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.
