Now I'm going to put this all together.
acting fell grounded happy jason knows
Jason is very much like that. He's very fun, happy and he's real. He's very grounded and knows he fell into acting by accident.
action almost best black crazy fights hurting kept knew scene shots super
He's a super, super professional. He will go over and over a scene again. He can become black and blue. In one scene, we did more than 150 shots in two days. That was crazy for an action scene. He was hurting so much. But he knew we had to have this scene and he knew this would be one of the best fights of the movie, so he kept on going, and at the end of the day he almost fainted. He was in so much pain.
came horrible jason
He is the Transporter. Without Jason Statham, this movie would be a straight-to-video ... horrible film. At least the first one, you know, I was so afraid, when I read the screenplay, of what it was. Then Jason came in.
freedom
I don't want to be Luc's henchman. I want to look for freedom.
good-movie fans wanted
I just wanted to make a properly good movie, and not beg for the love of the fans.
different actors knows
Every actor is different so you cannot become best friends on Day One. You just have to learn to know each other.
moving ideas directors
Some directors are like it's their... nothing can change, nothing can move. I like collaborating, even when an extra has an idea, I like to bring to really have collaboration.
stars war example
The movies like "Star Wars," for example or "Lord Of The Rings," they work because it's a a mix of everything.
superhero greek tights
All the superhero stuff is Greek myths and Greek gods, wearing tights and capes. That's what they are. That's what I gravitate towards.
people want gimmicks
The 2-D movie works as well as the 3-D movie. I want to make sure that people like the 2-D version. It's not a gimmick. It actually improves the viewing experience, but the movie stands on its own.
long add three
You always have three movies that you have to reduce into one. You have the screenplay. And then, you do a workshop and you add more scenes. And then, on the day you shoot, there's more action and interaction. It's like a souffle. It has a tendency to just grow and explode, and it's just too long.
fighting winning superhero
Whats great about The Avengers is that its the next step. Its not just superhero fights super-villain and superhero wins. Its about superheroes that come together and interact. Its a clash of the egos. You could do Avengers 1 without a villain, just with all these guys coming together. They could sit down and just have a discussion.
america islands guy
I'm stuck somewhere a small island in the middle of the Atlantic where I'm alone. Because in France, they're like, 'No, you're not like us, you're not a French guy.' And in America, they're like, 'You're not like us.' I'm really alone in my little thing.
