'Jurassic Park' isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation.
I'm gullible. I think people mean what they say.
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.
I feel like we've found an interesting little corner of the sandbox here as far as the way we're telling sci-fi stories. I don't think it's limited to sci-fi - I think anything fantastic can co-exist with people you and I know, and not these hyper-real movie people.
The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.
There's no shame in being romantic at all. I think people want to feel that sense of romance, which is rarely even attempted anymore.
If I can build a coalition of people who are interested in what I have to say and what I'm thinking, I hope they'll come with me if I want to go tell a story that doesn't have dinosaurs in it - which I plan to do.
I feel like, on a more macro scale, there's started to be a relationship between filmmakers and people who watch their films - you know, on Twitter and on the Internet.
