Richard Donner quotes about
opportunity progress way
If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn't progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world.
cameras actors motion-pictures
In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.
book thinking different
It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don't they do something about it? They've done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don't we just re-release this thing?
school opportunity important
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
film producers
Superman was never previewed because the producers didn't trust Warners with the film.
hurt couple horny
It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.
