In all my science fiction movies, I try to blend the familiar with the futuristic so as not to be too off-putting to the audience. There is always something familiar they can grab onto.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Too many films today feel formulaic and familiar. I prefer it when the familiar is made to feel strange.
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
I'm a sci-fi fan, but a lot of the sci-fi you're getting is the same. It's very stereotypical.
I've always loved 'lived-in' sci-fi. We take it for granted now, but it was a revelation in the late '70s - '80s, when movies like 'Alien', 'Escape From New York', and even 'Star Wars' introduced us to the idea that the future could, in fact, look old.
It often disturbs me, when I see a film set in a historical time, that the people are too modern.
I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.
The familiar material objects may not be all that is real, but they are admirable examples.
If you've read a lot of vintage science fiction, as I have at one time or another in my life, you can't help but realise how wrong we get it. I have gotten it wrong more times than I've gotten it right. But I knew that when I started; I knew that before I wrote a word of science fiction.
I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there's no compromising.
I really value distinctive movies, movies that feel that they came from a person that was really something that they had conceived and they made and is a reflection of who they are.
