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.
thinking goal feelings
I think that Superman is the pinnacle of the DC Universe. Our feeling always was that you need to get Superman right. That was also our goal. We didn't want to ignore that this universe exists.
book kids firsts
I was also an Action Comic fan when I was a young kid and those comic books affected me and Superman is - he's the one. He's the first one. He's the one. He's the one everybody is always compared to.
jobs thinking vision
I think that I'm a pretty great producer, but the vision behind Batman is Chris Nolan. I'm there to do my best to help execute that vision, and I think I do a really good job, but the vision is Chris Nolan.
character kids littles
I'd been a Superman fan since the time I was a little kid. We had great respect for the Donner movie, and Superman II with Terence Stamp as Zod but I felt it was time to bring the character into the 21st century.
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.
guy shade today
At least you used to know 'there's the villain, there's the good guy', but today there are more shades of grey.
adoption heritage stories
The story of Kal-El is actually a great story about adoption. He is an alien who has embraced his human side. As much as he loves and honours his heritage, and he needed to know where he came from and discover who he was, he has to decide who he is going to be.
names ideas age
Even in our business, as is the world, we are in the age of specialisation. You see a lot of names of producers on a movie. If you have the idea, if you oversee the development, if you oversee the production, if you help package the movie, you sell the movie - you can be a producer. There's not a lot of us who do the whole gamut.
thinking wind people
People tend to think about God more when the clock starts to wind down.
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.
play personality roles
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.
owns point studio
The point is that the studio owns the franchise, and they can do without any of us,
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.
