ask movies
'The Transporter' 1 and 2 are the movies I do for Luc they're not the kind I would go see or make naturally, ... You ask Luc, 'How do you want me to do it?'
credits directors executive movies supposed ton
When you do a first movie, you're contractually supposed to do the second one and then you don't do it, you become an executive producer. That's why there are a ton of directors who have executive producer credits on other movies.
movies pieces time tv
I like the idea of a TV show. You take time to get to know your characters. You can introduce a lot of characters. You don't need your three-action set pieces that you usually need for movies.
france learned movies studied studio though york
Even though I studied in New York and I know the American system, I come from France where I learned that with movies in France where the director is king. There's no such thing as a studio edit. It's the director's cut, period.
blast cannot favorite love moment movies paint
My favorite moment is when someone says, 'I like 'Unleashed.' 'Now You See Me' is so much fun.' That's what I want to do: smart, fun and big movies. I cannot lie, I love working with those big paint brushes. I have a blast doing these movies.
movies
Movies are not finished. They are abandoned. A movie is never finished.
again both covered figure holes movies plot run stressful tendency tested
I've started movies without screenplays both on 'Clash' and on 'Hulk,' and that is tremendously stressful because you have a tendency to overcompensate with effects. You haven't tested it in your head. You didn't run it over and over again and covered all of the plot holes and figure it out. It's a marathon that you sprint.
action cut level movies next
I think the next level of action movies is actually something I'm working on. It's a one-shot, continuous, hour-and-a-half action movie, non-stop. You don't cut away.
coming full people work
I'm a 'Clash of the Titans'/'Star Wars' baby. I'm not a new 'Star Wars' baby. I'm not an 'Avatar' baby. That full CG doesn't work for me. I need interactivity. I need to feel the goo. I need to feel people coming out of animatronics and just interacting with props.
action films pivotal three
I've done three action films but that's the pivotal moment,
best biggest choice pool
FIU had the biggest pool in the area, ... It was the first choice and it was the best choice.
corey finds fired gonna
Corey said, 'You know Louis, I won't be able to do it,' ... 'If Luc finds out, I'm gonna get fired and so are you.'
cheats goes good hate james love woman
That's what's good about this character. I love James Bond, but I hate that he's a misogynist chauvinistic pig. He goes from one woman to the next, cheats on her, doesn't care. I hate that. The Transporter is like the working man's James Bond. He is the real man.
Now I'm going to put this all together.
