I've realized that what you think of when you make a 'big movie,' if it's actually a green screen movie, it's like doing independent New York theater because you don't have any backgrounds or props. So it's kind of like making the lowest budgeted film you could possibly imagine, plus $100 million.

Theatrical is fantastic. I don't think anything will ever replace the big dark room, the screen and the popcorn. You can kind of do it in your home if you have a nice screen, but it's not the same thing.

I had spent time in New York, where I loved the idea that theater could be done up in tiny little rooms rather than for lots of money on a big stage, and be tied to ordinary life.

We want to make movies for the big screen. We want people to go to the theater and feel like they're watching a movie.

The long and short of it is that I am now in a position in England to green light movies, and that's really excellent - not high-budget movies, but movies none the less.

If you want to see theater you go to New York.

Nowadays, to get a movie greenlit, you have to make an incredible effort.

My theatre background is probably more extensive then my film, and I have done a fair bit of television.

I'm very much interested in doing actual theater.

When you're doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can't see what that world is.
