If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am completely open to doing a romantic comedy, but I will never do something just for the sake of doing a specific genre or because it's the time or place to do a different type of movie. I think that would be a huge mistake.
I'd love to do another film version of 'Romeo & Juliet.' I'm not too picky as long as it's a good story.
Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.
You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.
Telly and films has been my thing, not necessarily by choice, and if the right piece of theatre came along, I would jump at it.
In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
A lot of romantic comedies are just light romantic dramas, or the comedy comes off second-best.
I am very romantic. Given a choice, I'd do only romantic films!
Since so many romantic comedies vary little in their storyline, the success or failure of such movies depends largely on whether we believe in the relationship of the protagonists.
It does not matter what film you're making. If you're young and there's romance in the movie, it's compared to 'Twilight'.
