I feel safe in saying this, and that is that Peter Weir is without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I'd open a door in a movie for him if he asked me to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Peter Weir is remarkable. He can do anything.
I'd love to work with the people who really got the film industry going again through the '70s: Peter Weir, Bruce Beresford, Gillian Armstrong, Fred Schepisi.
Every time I see Peter Falk in the movie I think that would be great. We'd be fun together.
Nothing would make me happier if Peter Falk would finally win his Oscar for this. Not just as the writer but as a fan and a friend. It would be so great.
I would never be in a film just for the sake of being in a film, so I am waiting for the right role to come along.
When I met Peter Weir, we did a movie called 'Master and Commander' together, and that's when I really started to understand the power of acting, the power of directing, finding the emotion in performance.
I'd never directed before and this movie's too important to me to put in the hands of some guy who has never directed. Even if it's me.
I think Michael Caine is a perfectly good actor but it's obvious he's not going to be in one of my films.
Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.
You want to be on your toes; You don't want to be in a Nic Cage movie and just have him blow by you as an actor.
