Trivia and Quotes

Quotes

I`d been jumping on movies as the prop guy or drawing storyboards before I joined the art department on Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla. When I was pitching the script for Underworld, I did 12 detailed production drawings, which the producers later told me made them feel more comfortable about going with a first- time director.

Die Hard, Indiana Jones, and Lethal Weapon were the movies that really kicked it off for me in high school. I saw a making-of Raiders of the Lost Ark documentary and thought, `Man, that`s the job I want to do.`

[on the film Underworld] It was quite shocking the DVD sales had matched the box- office sales, and it definitely has been something that has grown.
