character way film
I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another.
opportunity years able
It's been about 15 years, and I've never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters.
doors may comedy
Evolution .. Just the right formula of science and comedy may get moviegoers through the door.
dvds different theater
Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.
drama watches caught
We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.
home different rooms
The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.
acting important persons
It's sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you're dealing with.
helping comedy
In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.
strings-attached way honest
Comedy is a very delicate business, especially comedies that sort of attempt to do things in an honest way and in a very naturalistic way the way that 'No Strings Attached' is.
horror sci-fi
I love horror and sci-fi.
fiction able fans
I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.
fiction science-fiction
I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.
reality steps one-step-at-a-time
I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish.
children years awards
Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it's on a weekly critical basis or whether it's award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work.
