In Hollywood There's A Great Openness, Almost

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.

Batman And Superman Are Very Different Characters But They're Both Iconic And Elemental. Finding The Right Story For Them Both Is The Key.

I Don't Ever Like To Feel Myself In The Position To Demand Of An Actor That They Trust I'm Going To Do Something Worthwhile. I Feel A Responsibility To Articulate What It Is I'm Going To Do. Whether That's Showing Them A Full Script Or Sitting Down With Them And Describing My Ideas In Detail. It's A Very Healthy Burden On Me As A Film Director To Be Able To Articulate What I Want To Do, To Inspire Actors, Rather Than Just Saying, Take It On Trust I'll Be Able To Do Something Worthwhile.

George Lazenby Is No One's Favorite James Bond, But For Me The Anonymity At The Center Of This Lavish Production Only Serves To Reveal The Bond Machine Firing On All Cylinders: Superb Editing And Photography, Incredible Score, Great Setpieces. The Most Romantic In The Series, And It Actually Has, Of All Things, A Tragic Ending.

We Shouldn't Be Chasing Other Movies, But Stay True To The Tone Of Man Of Steel.
