I Want People To See My Name On A Movie, Pay Money And Know They're Going To Be Entertained For 90 Minutes.

I Think In A Post-9/11 World, With The Images Coming Back From Iraq, Everybody Knows More And More People Who Are Going Over There... The Images On The Youtube Phenomenon Where The Violence Is So Immediate. Direct People Need Something Stronger To Respond To. I Think That There's Definitely A Wave Of Directors - Who Are Labelled The Splat Pack - Who Really, Really Care About Making Great Scary Movies.

It's The Difference Between Hunting A Lion And Hunting A Deer. If Someone Hunts A Lion, It's Like: "wow, They're Brave!" But If They're Hunting A Deer It's Like: "that Poor Deer!" I Know That. I Know That Guys Getting Killed Is Horrible But People Have Seen It Before. You've Seen The Evil Dead. With Girls, It's Like: "i Don't Want To See That Happening..." I Know That.

Movie Stars Need To Retain Some Of That Mystique If You Are A Big Movie Star.

I Love Historical Movies. I Want To Make A Violent Medieval Epic.
