If you make something good and interesting and not ridiculing someone or being offensive, the creators of the original material will like it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've gotten to a point where I wouldn't direct someone else's material. It would only be something totally original.
I don't tend to be a nitpicker when I'm watching movies, so as long as something is true to the spirit of the original, that's very much what we got for. You try to never do something that the original author wouldn't have done themselves.
There is always a reverence issue, and I'm no different from any audience member that if someone's adapting a book or comic that I like, I really don't want them to screw it up.
If you can't tolerate critics, don't do anything new or interesting.
Originality is the art of concealing your source.
When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.
Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.
In the end, postmodern art is obscene not because it is offensive, but because it is boring.
The world in general doesn't know what to make of originality; it is startled out of its comfortable habits of thought, and its first reaction is one of anger.
So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.
