At the Hong Kong festival, we were co-producers of the opening film, 'Aberdeen,' which is the third part in a popular movie series.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are many kinds of movies in Hong Kong. Some are commercial and others are more artistic.
In Hong Kong, the directors are the idea men.
We watched a lot of Hong Kong action movies in my house when I was growing up.
Hong Kong cinema is something you can't duplicate anyway.
I think all the filmmakers in Hong Kong are influenced by John Woo.
While I was filming 'Kong' - and I don't play a very capable Army Ranger in 'Kong'; I play a completely different character - but we had a lot of Army Rangers there, former Army Rangers, and Navy SEALs, who were working on the movie with us for the other characters, for the Army guys in the movie.
In starting to learn about film festivals and what were good ones - 'cause there are five billion of them - it was just a really good East Coast festival. And I thought this little movie was an East Coast film.
One of my favorite things about 'Castle' is the fact our writers and producers are so collaborative. They allow us to bring in ideas, and they try to make them happen for us.
British people might wonder 'What the hell is Kenneth Branagh doing directing 'Thor?' but the person asking that the most was Kenneth Branagh. I think he was more surprised than anyone else to find himself doing this kind of film.
We did a remake of Lost in Space. Filmed it in London for four months.
