Re-Editing Quotes

I am strictly against remaking a movie.

A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.

When I first started in the business, it was hardly ever done. But today, it almost feels like studios go out and preview movies knowing full well that they're going to use the information they get to go back and reshoot.

There are certainly moments in the story room where you watch the movie die on the table. You put A next to B, and suddenly none of it lines up anymore. We feel that all the time. It's a terrible feeling.

If I could go back I might change Geronimo a bit. If I do, it will be made a longer version.
