One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life,' which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.
From Frank Darabont
Some of us have great original ideas and some of us depend on adaptations.
The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together, we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.
I think once you've finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member.
A director shouldn't get in the way of the movie, the story should.
The only person who can, with impunity, make the movie he wants to make, has got to be Steven Spielberg.
Stanley Kubrick was a big inspiration. People accuse me of never using my own material. But when did Kubrick? You look at his films and they are completely unique... completely separate entities.
To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film.
I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.
I am fascinated with times past.
