growing-up character years
We live in a much more complicated time than when Superman was created 75 years ago. Or even when Superman The Movie was created in the 70s. There are great advances but with those come a great many complications.We felt that the character needed to grow up in that kind of environment and had to face those kinds of colossal choices that were not going to be easy. It's difficult to figure out the right path. And even if you do good there are causalities to your choices. We thought it would be compelling.
cities different chicago
Chicago's such a great city because it's got so many different brilliantly architecturally looking buildings, and you can really modify that city.
maxwell smart steve
Steve will take the part of Maxwell Smart to a whole new level, ... He will not be as bumbling, and it will be in a contemporary setting.
batman good moment successful
Scooby-Doo is an icon, just like Batman is an icon, ... We will do another at some point, I'm sure, but nothing is in the works. We have had good successful releases, but for the moment we need to give it a break.

control script steve usual
We're getting the script together, and there will be some of the usual characters: a Chief, 99, CONTROL and KAOS, ... The script has to be there before we want to make it, but Steve will make it funny.

The parts of Shaggy, Daphne, Freddie and Velma played by Linda Cardellini are all iconic and not really personality-driven, so it doesn't really matter who plays those roles, ... But it is true that Matthew nailed it.
psycho film scene
In films of terror, it's often not about being graphic. Or if there is a graphic image, it's extremely swift. Everyone talks about the shower scene in 'Psycho,' but that's the only graphic scene in the entire film.
home long video
For a long time, the film business was a single-digit business on investment return. Now, because of home video, it's a low double-digit business, and the studios want to make sure it doesn't go back into the single-digit business.
thinking wind people
People tend to think about God more when the clock starts to wind down.
goal perspective focus
I came from advertising. For me it's about protecting the director's vision. That's always the goal. There's keeping things on budget and on time and dealing with selling the movie so that to me is a focus. But also it's about serving the script. We are genre filmmakers, those are the films we love to make, so my perspective is a little different.
growing-up thinking growing
You think that it must be great to be Superman but it's also hard to be Superman, especially when growing up.
heart expectations superhero
There is an expectation with a superhero film that there is spectacle and action but there also has to be heart. Striking that balance is really important.
giving goal support
It's rare that I'm working on a movie and that's the case. My goal is the same, ultimately at a certain point you give it to the director and their vision. You're there to support that vision.
