Well, I'm directing a lot of television these days.

Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.

I'm going to start work on developing a series for HBO, because I'm naturally given to episodic stories of considerable length. And I won't have to listen to complaints about how wordy and long my work is if you can watch it on your telephone on the subway: You can make it conform to your day as if it were a book.

I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.

I had a prior deal in place to do a miniseries for HBO, so I'm not done with TV. But I basically want to stay in movies.

Usually the films that I do are released theatrically in foreign markets. In the U.S., they're either picked up as HBO premier films or Showtime first-runs. In today's market, in America, you need at least $50 million for your budget to go to the big show, and I'm not quite there yet. But keep watching - maybe someday I will be.

I'm trying my hand at writing. I'm writing a couple of projects for HBO, a half hour comedy and a miniseries.
