The board and management have not made any decisions on what any clash guernsey might look like. Suffice to say when a design is agreed, members will be given the opportunity to make comments.
That is precisely just what I don't want to be known as. I just want to go back to my own little filmmaking base, telling small New Zealand stories with my writing partner, Fran Walsh. I have no huge desire to be swallowed up by Hollywood.

It was completely different (with Stead) because we were four months out of administration then,
I wanted the game to be able to take the audience a bit further than what the film could. And the final climax of the game gave us an opportunity to do something that the film could not do, which was to have an alternate ending - obviously everybody pretty much knows how King Kong ends.
I want to make movies just like "King Kong." You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.

What I love about films is that you can see "King Kong" and you can be affected by it and then you realize that he was just this little guy when he made that fall.
The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.
Most directors prefer to direct everything themselves. I thought I could on Lord Of The Rings, but very quickly found out that the sheer scale prevented it.
Everything is in a script for a reason, and only by being part of a writing team (or writing it yourself), do you really understand the intention of every beat.
