I Don't Have Incredible Knowledge About Films

I Wanted To Shoot Straight, Mainstream, Somehow Off-beat. Not Only Realistic West, Which Is Quite Unfamiliar To The World's Population - Even To A Lot Of Americans.

Depending On The Budget [whether To Use 3d On Future Movies]. I Think I Prefer 3d To 2d Now. Also, Because Of 3d I Have To Use A Digital Camera, Which Is The Way It's Going Anyway. That Still Confuses Me, A Digital Camera Versus Film.

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.

I Don't Think The Hulk Is A Superhero. He's The First Marvel Character Who Is A Tragic Monster. Really An Anti-hero.

We Need Storytelling. Otherwise Life Just Goes On And On, Like The Number Pi.
