As A Filmmaker, You Are Going To

When You're Casting A Movie And When You're Shooting A Film, The Eyes Are The Most Important Feature Of Any Performer, Really. Any Great Actor Literally Knows Exactly How To Use Their Eyes, And Even As A Filmmaker I Love Shooting Huge Close-ups Because It's Those Eyes That Mean So Much To Me.

Elijah Can Register Such Subtle Emotion On His Face That I Loved Doing Close-ups On Him. He Really Brings A Superb Emotional Level To Frodo's Scenes And Although He Is A Very Instinctive Actor, We Discussed The Character Thoroughly.

In An Ideal World The Script Is Written Lean And Tight And Therefore There Are No Scenes Left On The Cuttring Room Floor And Therefore No Extended Edition.

People Call Kong "a Monster." He's Not. There's Nothing Evil About Kong. He's Just Another Creature Who Has Opened Up A Little Bit Of His Heart To Ann And It Proves To Be His Undoing.

And So I Look Back On Not Just The Last Ten Years But Everything That I've Done As Being Sort Of An Ongoing Growing Continual Film School. I Mean I Don't Think I've Got To A Point Where I've Achieved Anything That Feels Like, A Particular Milestone, But There's Still A Lot More To Learn And Hopefully A Lot More Films To Make.
