nice character actors
Sometimes, if you leave yourself open, an actor can bring nice nuances to a character.
come-up bad-things
To come up short when you reach too far is not such a bad thing rather than not to reach at all, right?
trying fiction familiar
In all my science fiction movies, I try to blend the familiar with the futuristic so as not to be too off putting to the audience. There is always something familiar they can grab onto.
running fiction kind
There are trappings of science fiction which I kind of embrace, but there are also cliches which I run from.
scripts visual-effects visuals
After I script the movie, I have to storyboard it out, I have to budget it, and I have to understand if I can afford all those visual effects or not.
diversity want opinion
Theres so much diversity of opinion out there, so ultimately you have to listen to it, put it aside, and make what you want to make.
edit fewer options saying shoot shooting smaller time
You do need to edit yourself as you shoot because you have fewer options in a smaller movie. In other words, when I'm shooting a big movie, and I got an 85 day shooting schedule or more, then I'm saying I have enough time to shoot option A and B and C and D for every scene.
create limited people science
You do a drama, and you are limited by the rules of reality, and in science fiction, you create your own reality. Some people find that daunting; I find it challenging.
ultimately
There's so much diversity of opinion out there, so ultimately you have to listen to it, put it aside, and make what you want to make.
diesel guess learned people smarter
I've learned never to count Vin Diesel out. Just don't do that. And I guess it's because he is a very smart guy. Smarter than people give him credit for.
