Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's only a certain number of movies I'm going to get made, and it's important to me that they each be original somehow.
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.
Ultimately, with every film I'd done before, there was a reference. They have their own uniqueness, but there was always a precedent.
I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.
If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic.
Every film has to be the next something else; originality isn't celebrated because you can't market it.
Honestly, I'm not a big movie buff in general. The only movies I own is probably the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy.
It's kind of true that they just start making the same movie over and over again. It's also true that the times dictate what kind of movies get made and what kind are not. So I'm always looking for something that's a little fresh and something that I haven't seen before.
I steal from every movie ever made.
Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.
