The movies of our particular childhood were so great that it's almost impossible to recapture that magic, especially as adults.
goes home northwest san starts
I'm from Oakland and San Francisco, so I feel like the Pacific Northwest starts there and goes north - so, it's home to me.

The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.
cool corner cult upgrade whatever
We live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There's always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete.

Where I live, in Vermont, there's this thing that women know about men, which is this disease: their childhood was so idyllic that nothing in the rest of their life can ever be satisfying. It's almost a plague.
build earlier filmmakers films forget love stories talk time took
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood.

We're so surrounded by so much of this marketing and just being told on a regular basis that you have to like this, you will go here, you want this. I found that to me that fit perfectly into what a theme park of dinosaur would be about.

'Jurassic World' takes place in a fully functional park on Isla Nublar. It sees more than 20,000 visitors every day. You arrive by ferry from Costa Rica. It has elements of a biological preserve, a safari, a zoo, and a theme park. There is a luxury resort with hotels, restaurants, nightlife and a golf course. And there are dinosaurs.
great love movies telling watched
I love the kind of movies I watched when I was a kid. But, I also love telling great stories.
corporate glee life luxuries modern synergy tearing
There's a glee in building a world that is constructed on corporate synergy and all the luxuries of our modern life, and then just tearing it apart. I enjoy that!
