clash coming fights great guys next sit superhero
What's great about 'The Avengers' is that it's the next step. It's not just superhero fights super-villain and superhero wins. It's about superheroes that come together and interact. It's 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.
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.
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.
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.'
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?'
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.
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.
becomes watch
If you watch the movie and you know he's gay, it becomes so much more fun,
directors
I'm one of the lucky directors that pretty much every movie I've done has started a franchise. But I never think this way. I think that's the way you break it, if you go, 'then at the end, at the end we'll see you later.' I was forced to do it in 'Clash of the Titans.'
anyone cared chose complete picked
I'll tell you what, I had complete control on 'Unleashed.' I directed, produced, chose the musician, picked the costumes, and everything. I never had anyone saying, 'I don't like this and I don't like that.' The studio, Universal, were easy. It was this weird movie no one cared about.
