Anna never cracks up. She knows that if I need her to take that baseball, she'll do it. You can't get a stunt double. It wouldn't be funny to have a stunt double from behind. |
I'm thrilled that people had as much fun seeing the movie as we did making it. I couldn't be happier about this very strong opening. |
Spielberg did not have a great plot to work with. The Tom Cruise character doesn't really change himself, and he really doesn't change the outcome of things. I really didn't like the movie. ... The stupid plot we had in Airplane! was better than that. |
Sure, we'll be working on Scary Movie 5 , but we'll wait until the material swells up in the next year. There will be enough movies out there to pick from. |
The studio just wanted us to throw in something as a tease. I didn't object. |
We held everything until then and knew we had about nine months after that to get it done. |
We'll make up our own guy with our own super powers. It will be an original thing, but people will be comfortable in that superhero world. It can't be a joke power, because you can't sustain it. We have a lot of rules you have to follow. If it's a joke power, it's a joke one time and can't continue to be funny. These will have to be real powers. I love the fact that Spider-Man got bitten by something and that gave him super powers. We're watching every movie that came out, and it's a genre that's ripe. Look at all the similarities in ... X-Men, Batman, Fantastic Four, Superman, all of them have common stories. I think there's something funny there, too. |
