It Felt Scary Because There Was No

I'm Not The One Or Two Take Guy, But I'm Not The 20, 30, 50, 70 Take Guy Either. If I Do A Bunch Of Takes, Like More Than Five Or Six, It's Usually For Some Technical Reasons.

Growing Up, My Fascination Was All Things Dinosaur, And As An Adult, I've Had Some Success Making Films About Aliens, So This Is A Dream Come True.

These Movies Are Like My Kids. I Just Love Them To Death. Some Of Them Go To Harvard And Some Of Them Can Barely Graduate High School.

I'm An Unusual Director In That My Cut Is Usually Shorter Then The Final Released Film. I Like Short Films.

The First Cut I Do Is Usually Between Five And 10 Minutes Shorter Then The Cut That We Release. Anything I Think Isn't Working Or Might Not Work, I Don't Even Put It In The Director's Cut. And Usually It's The Studio Suggesting I Put Stuff Back In, As Opposed To Studios Saying, "you Got To Lose 40 Minutes," They Are Always Saying, "you've Got To Gain Five Minutes."
