“I've got an extra-specific story about Dr. Dre. I saw him when I was 9 years old in Compton - him and Tupac. They were shooting the second 'California Love' video.

“He [Mark Webb] is very savvy, technically, he's shot so many videos, he knows how to get what he wants. The surprise, of course, is that he's also an extremely humanistic story-teller. He's obsessed with story and character, and not just making it look right, which is a double-thred that's rare in directors.” KnowsWantLooksCharacterStoriesCoursesKnow HowDirectorsShotsMarkSurpriseVideoObsessedSavvyHumanistic Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt

“Now, the big box office successes are superhero stories. It seems there's a lowest common denominator mentality, in terms of movies that are almost purely visual, that anyone can understand anywhere in the world. Good robot, bad robot: they fight. You don't need to know anything apart from that. And then we can make toys that look like that robot - and sell those toys or video games.” KnowsWorldNeedsLooksStoriesBigsSeemsFightingGamesTermCommonOfficeSellsBoxesVideoVisualsMentalityToysLowestRobotsSuperheroBox OfficeCommon DenominatorLowest Common DenominatorBox Office Success Author:Terence Winter
“You know, not every good book needs to be a movie, or a television series, or a video game. There's great work in those mediums, of course, but sometimes a book should remain a book. I still believe nothing tells a story with the richness and complexity of a good novel. When people say they think a book would make a good movie, they say this sometimes because, if it worked, they already saw all the images in the movie theatre that is in their brains. And sometimes that is the way it should stay.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayNeedsShouldBelieveStillsBookSometimesStoriesCoursesGamesBrainNovelSawsTelevisionSeriesVery GoodTheatreVideoMediumsComplexityGreat WorkGood BookRichnessGood MovieI Still BelieveMovie Theatre Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafon
