“In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia.

“All I can say is that with 'The Golden Compass,' I didn't get to make the movie I had planned to make. When I look at the film, at the casting and certain scenes, I'm very happy.

“Most of the complexity of the stories has developed as the stories came along (and may be a product of the principle that "nothing is what it seems"). I did start with some essential ambiguousness in the aliens' motivation and the questions this raises in human minds, which I consider to have been disregarded in Contact (novel and film). That, in part, may be what has delayed the writing of the fifth and sixth novelettes in the series.” WritingMindHumansMayHas BeensStoriesSeemsFilmMotivationPrinciplesNovelProductsEssentialsRaisesSeriesContactAliensComplexityHuman MindFifthAmbiguityDelayedDisregarded Author:James Gunn

“With films, I just scribble a couple of notes for a scene. You don't have to do any writing at all, you just have your notes for the scene, which are written with the actors and the camera in mind. The actual script is a necessity for casting and budgeting, but the end product often doesn't bear much resemblance to the script--at least in my case.” WritingMindEndsFilmActorsCasesWrittenProductsBearsCoupleSceneCamerasNotesScriptsCastingResemblanceScribblesBudgeting Author:Woody Allen

“Both as a filmmaker and as a fan I love the behind-the-scenes stuff, I like it even more than deleted scenes frankly.

“In a business that has exploited and ignored our people I have only found dead-ends. We need romantic comedies, gross-out and mockery comedies, horror and thrillers, teen movies and love-stories. All these and more will be a positive step towards the future of Native Americans in the world and film industry; an industry that that offers us not only the chance to play the parts of heroes, love interests and warriors, but also of villains, dorks and dangerous, brokenhearted products of circumstance.” PeopleWorldNeedsEndsPlayStoriesFilmFoundInterestChanceStepsComedyDangerousProductsIndustryHeroCircumstancesHorrorOffersAnd LoveLove StoryWarriorNativeVillainNative AmericanIgnoredGrossMockeryThrillersFilm IndustryDead EndsDorkBrokenheartedMovies And LoveFound Dead Author:Misty Upham
