I'm not contractually obligated to sequels on anything.
names office casting
I needed to change my name just to liberate myself and find out I could do it without walking into a Hollywood casting office with the name Coppola.
imagination way fiction
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
tired thinking people
I got a little tired of movies where I had to shoot people. I got to thinking about the power of film and what that power is. The power is in fact that it really can change people's minds.

years two trying
I try to make two movies a year. To me, that's not too much. On top of that, I like to work.
intelligent roots people
Well, good science fiction is intelligent. It asks big questions that are on people's minds. It's not impossible. It has some sort of root in the abstract. So automatically you're getting closer to potentially divine sources of interest because it is abstract. It's one of the only ways that a film actor can express himself in the abstract and have audiences still go along for the ride. They don't contend it. They accept it, that they're going to go places that are a bit more of the imagination, a bit more out there, and that's more and more where I like to dance.

You aren't a true internationalist until you've supplied weapons to kill your own countrymen.

Idris Elba is a grand actor. He's very larger than life; he's bigger than life.

All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.
