I'd love to make another film in Mexico.

I did a television series in Japan this year, which was really fun, even though it's working with a Japanese crew and I don't speak Japanese.

That's my curse, I see the politics within these things and so I don't say yes to them.

We hope to do the Spanish Tragedy based on the play by Thomas Kyd.

And I also figured out that way I can do a film in black and white because I've never been able to do a film in black and white.
