The Fear Factor Actually Brings The Genuineness.

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'm Just A Pretty Regular Dad.

Even Dramatically How You Position Some Person, The Depth, The Existence [in 3d] Is Different Than A Flat Image Even Though By Itself It Has Depth, We Create The Illusion Of Depth. For Example, Some Of The Shots I Have To Stay Closer To The Actor Because It's A Young Actor, I Like It Closer For Some Of The Shots. I Watch 2d Scenes Next To The Camera, Then When I Go Back To My Station And Watch It In 3d I Have To Go Back And Reduce His Acting, He Has To Shrink A Little Bit Because He Peeks Out More.

So There Was One Point I Thought I Was Gonna Lose It, But Once I Get On Something I Have To Finish It; I Just Kept Persuading Them And They Turned Around. One Good Thing Was The International Guys Really Stood Behind This Movie, They Thought They Could Support This Film. So These Guys Step Up And That's Really Good, And Then They Turned Around.

Kids Don't Even Read Comic Books Anymore. They've Got More Important Things To Do - Like Video Games.
