“There's something about the sci-fi genre that gets an audience interested in it, so maybe you can take some risks that you couldn't, if you were just doing a drama. It lets you maybe reach a little further and surprise people a little bit more because there's still that little safety base of working on that genre that everybody loves.” PeopleIfsLittlesStillsBitsAudienceRiskDramaLittle BitSafetySurpriseGenreSci Fi Author:Rian Johnson
“I'm a hybrid-genre person, which a lot of people find confusing. I grew up listening to American country music and rock n' roll made between 1955 and 1959.

“Good genre movies are a little bit like trying to write a haiku. There are certain things that you have to do to fulfill the audience's expectations, but inside that, you have complete freedom to talk about whatever you want. Who wants to see a movie about gun violence in America and class? But, if you set it in this terrifying, fun, roller coaster ride of a movie, you can talk about whatever you want. That's been the game that genre movies play, when they do it well.” IfsWantWritingTryingWellsLittlesPlayAmericaCertainGamesFunBitsClassAudienceViolenceLittle BitExpectationsGunGenreHaikuRoller CoasterGun ViolenceCoastersComplete FreedomRoller Coaster Rides Author:Ethan Hawke

“There is a real problem with the lack of diversity, specifically in genre films and the superheroes our kids grow up watching and emulating, they can't really identify with. When you see the same thing, over and over again, and it seems not to speak of you and your heritage and your culture, it leaves you out of this world, a little bit. It gives a certain social distance with your world.” WorldGivingLittlesRealProblemSeemsKidsFilmCertainCultureSpeakSocialGrowsBitsGrowing UpThis WorldDiversityLittle BitDistanceGenreHeritageSuperheroReal Problems Author:Djimon Hounsou
