I've had the opportunity to work on some really great indie features. One of them being 'Little Savages,' which is a super fun family film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's something very cool about that indie spirit that I try to hang on to even now with the bigger films that I'm working on.
Since I was 12 or 13, I have been taking movie meetings finding a project right for me because I wanted to try it. Craig gave us the script - it was set in Wales, it is really British humour. I just loved it.
I've always wanted to do a family movie.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director - who were just fun.
The idea of doing a children's film is different, but quite honestly I like doing anything - any genre. I've only made one Western, which was 'Three Amigos,' but I would love to make a serious Western. I'm just wide open.
I'm never going to be inspired by some obscure film, which isn't to say I don't enjoy that sort of thing. I just want to share my work with everyone.
It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies - character-driven stuff.
To be honest with you, I've been dying to do a nice indie feature - just something about a regular guy with a big quirk or a big emotional problem. Just something that's a straightforward, classic indie film. It sounds weird, but it's been easier for me to get cast in big tentpole films than the indie community. I'd love to do that.
I would love to do an indie film, as I've grown to have a more serious side.
