Be happy or die. |
I think there's a love of infamy and heroism that doesn't play into the zeitgeist, |
I was glad that the protesters prevailed and we didn't shoot there. The sad fact is that that movies, at their core, are environmentally unfriendly. |
If I do The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad I'll definitely be coming back to Australia for all the interior work, ... I'd do the exteriors in southern China. Frankly, the Stealth experience merely proved that if you do run into problems in Australia, you can solve them. |
Our goal is to create almost a bowl-game atmosphere. |
Rappers are natural actors, |
Stealth, |
That whole thing with the dragonfly in the Blue Mountains, that really wasn't anything to do with Stealth , ... It could have been a movie about two people at a picnic making love in the woods. We were sort of caught in the middle of someone else's fight. |
The crew in Australia was the best I ever had, |
This director had a pretty specific idea that he wanted to make this movie as realistic as possible and he created this device called a gimble. It’s basically a human eggbeater that they stuck the end of the cockpit onto so that you can recreate. And I think one of the very beautiful things about this movie is it’s seamless in terms of the CGI and the mix of putting me and Jessica and Jamie inside of the CGI and looking like we’re flying. You would be surprised that these planes are not real much less not flying. |
We built these amazing-looking futuristic planes entirely in Australia at Fox [Studios]. The techno stuff, Lizzy Gardiner's costumes ... I can't rave about the place enough, and if my next project comes off I'd shoot it in Australia without hesitation. |
We were really lucky, |
