I Believe That Anything In This World

You're In The Middle Of Making A Movie And This Part Of The Process Is Always Very Interesting. Because You Think What You're Making Your Movie Is And Then You Start Putting It Out There, And Then People Tell You What Your Movie Is.

I Did Not Want 'battleship' To Be Perceived As An American War Film. I Wanted To Do Everything I Could To Make The Film Accessible To A Global Audience. It Felt Like Bringing An Alien Component To The Film Would Help Take The American Jingoism Out Of It.

I Think The Biggest Challenge Was Being Aware Of A Certain Audience That Was Going To See This Film [lone Survivor]. There's A Big Difference From A Typical Movie, Journalists And Critics And Film Goers That Go See It Find That, That's The General Experience You Have As A Filmmaker. So That Just Kind Of Proves My Point That There's A Really Different Audience.

I Believe That Anything In This World Is Fair Game For A Creative Exercise.
