I anticipated it would be long, but not this long. |
I couldnt be more pleased, or proud, to continue our relationship with Peter and Fran on this film. There are no filmmakers who better understand the delicate balance between technology and drama, and how the best use of todays astonishing digital tools is in the service of not only spectacle but also a solid story. We are confident that the HALO feature film can be most fully realized under the creative direction of Peter, Fran and Weta. |
I look forward to working closely with the DreamWorks and Paramount team. |
If you can find somebody as talented as Joss who also brings with him a fan base, that's something you look long and hard at. We took a chance. There's no net. |
It's been a great two years. There's a great respect, and it's been creatively rewarding. It's amazing when you're down there to see the talent, dedication and resources. |
It's still a healthy business. |
Munich. If you're on either side in an extremist way on the issue of the source of the Middle East conflict, you're not going to just be upset, you're going to be really upset. Is that the reason not to make it? That was the gist of all of our conversations. |
There's always been something to replace it that's groovier. Portable, wireless devices are pretty irresistible. |
This is an emotional beginning and ending for me. |
This is an emotional beginning and ending for me. I've had a long and fulfilling career at Universal as it's been my home for over nine years. I wish only the very best for all of my many friends there. |
We welcome Jon to Universal to build with Donna the kind of dynamic partnership that will give our slate even greater dimension and stability. Jon brings with him great energy, taste and experience. I am certain that, working together, he and Donna will enable Universal to retain its prominence as a top creative home for filmmakers and talent. |
