The Vast Majority Of The Cgi Budget

I Wanted People To Believe That There Could Still Be This Little Undiscovered Piece Of The World That Survives Still On Skull Island.

To Me, Fantasy Should Be As Real As Possible. I Don't Buy Into The Notion That Because It's Fantastic, It Should Be Unrealistic, Because I Think You Have To Have A Sense Of Believing The World That You're Going Into.

I Think That You Can Treat A Classic Like A Museum Piece -stuffed And Mounted- Or You Can Make It A Living, Breathing Narrative That Is Unfolding Right Then And There.

Filmmaking For Me Is Always Aiming For The Imaginary Movie And Never Achieving It.

Most Directors Prefer To Direct Everything Themselves. I Thought I Could On Lord Of The Rings, But Very Quickly Found Out That The Sheer Scale Prevented It.
