That's what I wanted to do... I wanted to make a great film that just happened to be based on a video game.

Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through.

My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.

I worked as a writer, lead designer, and creative director in the game industry.

I remember on Deus Ex there was one programmer - Alex Durand, a guy who still works for us - he decided he was going to get through the game without ever using a weapon. I would never think to do that. And that's fine.

The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.

I was made for action movies.

Before I became a game designer, I was a software engineer.

I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.
