When you've written a film and directed it and it comes out exactly as you imagined it, it's pretty boring.
I love films like 'Deliverance' where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.
There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role.
The one thing that frustrates me more than anything else is that no studio has ever told me to tone down violence. They only ask you to make it more presentable.
You've gotta understand: in July of '44, the Allies were still contained on the peninsula in western France and the destruction of Europe had not really begun. War had not really touched the European continent at that point.
What makes a movie now is a package, a brand, a remake or some preexisting material.
