I love writing, and I love postproduction. That's great, because you start to reassemble the film, and you sit there, and you start to really put the film together, finally. The shooting of it is the most stressful part of the process.
I fell in love with stories watching a British television puppet show called 'Thunderbirds' when it first came out on TV, about 1965, so I would have been 4 or 5 years old. I went out into the garden at my mom and dad's house, and I used to play with my little dinky toys, little cars and trucks and things.
'Temeraire' is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love - fantasy and historical epic.
I love Bilbo Baggins. I relate really well to Bilbo!

He is a cheeky little prick but that's what we love about him.
I want to make movies just like "King Kong." You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.
If you work at love, you will find love at work.

We are trying to get to the bottom of what is causing Adnan the problem,
Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film,
We have done well since losing at Forest and considering the run at the end of last season have lost once in 16 games,
