adam batman book brought comic george great hero legendary life reinvented superman tim time wonder
It's just a great, legendary comic book hero and it's one that has never been kind of been brought back to life after Lynda Carter. I mean, it's a reinvention. When Tim Burton reinvented Batman after Adam West, and when Donner reinvented Superman after George Reeves, it's time to do that with Wonder Woman.

They are driving the industry out of the state. You have a governor who was a movie star. It doesn't make any sense. They could fix it in one minute if they wanted to but no one seems to want to.

Invasion gives Nicole an opportunity to bring her depth and range to the kind of gritty action role that we haven't see her play before, as Oliver infuses the film with the brand of provocative, character-driven storytelling he's known for.

I had a hard time making Predator 2. The first movie was so good at what it was and Predator 3 is just like a Saturday Night Live sketch.
current dealt intrigued issues people relevant seems time
There are hot-button issues that are dealt with in the story and that's good, that's fresh. It seems to be as relevant as it could be right now. I think that it's going to be very current and very topical and I think people will be intrigued by the material. I think it's the right time and the right place.

This story is more important now than ever. But movies are made to make money. So if people go to films like this, we'll see more of them.

If the audience sees and feels things are real, then they buy it.
addition appeal blend boyish charm convey misguided needed obvious perfect robert talents
We needed an actor who could convey the character's blend of optimism, recklessness, misguided persistence and likeability. In addition to his obvious talents as an actor, Robert Downey Jr. exudes a boyish charm and an appeal that is perfect for Harry.
finished shooting
We'd finished shooting the film by then. The film is the film.
