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.

It's a cautionary tale. V says people should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people. That is the essence of the story.

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.
help people
You need the right people to kind of help make these things real.
action excites people seen specific tension
This is a character-based movie, ... Oliver is very specific how he makes a picture. There's action in the movie, and there's tension in the movie, but it's not in that same kind of green-screen activity. So it's a very different kind of science-fiction picture. It's really more intellectual and very smart. And I think what Oliver is intending to do is something people haven't seen before, and that always excites me.

My movies have always done pretty well in the UK - 'The Matrix' films did very well in this country and I do like the crews here and the people we're working with here.
ideas interesting people
The idea of a youth-based society that you live in for a certain time and then you no longer live anymore is an interesting idea for a movie, but you need young people that people want to go see.
people film accepting
We found in 'The Matrix' that people were willing to accept something more. It was a smarter film.

I've made a lot of stupid action films. But when we made The Matrix, we saw that people wanted more than that.
