I played lots of fantasy games. I would create these worlds, and I would believe in them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The fantasy world, the 'Game of Thrones' world, the forgotten realms worlds - they're the type of worlds I've always wanted to live in. Where vampires, dragons, dwarves and elves are real.
I definitely love fantasy and would want to be in a fantasy project.
If you want to believe in the fantasy on screen, then you have to believe in the characters and use them as a stepping-stone to lead you into this fantasy world.
Fantasy enabled me to break the shackles and create a whole new level of 'the world is in danger' stakes.
I like to play people that are real, a real person, and then something that's interesting with that person. I think it's a lot more challenging to do that than something that's extremely fantasy-like.
We've pitched and even begun development on a number of fantasy worlds that have never seen the light of day. All of those worlds... It's soul-crushing to see them sputter out, one by one. Lost. Like tears. In rain.
The fantasy that appeals most to people is the kind that's rooted thoroughly in somebody looking around a corner and thinking, 'What if I wandered into this writer's people here?' If you've done your job and made your people and your settings well enough, that adds an extra dimension that you can't buy.
I have a lot of fantasy.
We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.
I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.
