Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
I think it's more interesting to throw people into a story and let them catch up instead of explaining and feeling like you have to slow down for them. I think audiences, for the most part, they don't want to be ahead of you.
I found 'Celebrity Gangster' intense, dramatic, a real page turner.
I'm not suggesting that ours [series] is unique in that, but they can begin to have that depth, that gravity, they can spend some time, so it's a bit more like reading a good novel, if you like.
Our goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for today's gamers.
When I watch cop shows, I really enjoy them because you can really follow the story and get involved, and the characters are always really interesting.
I don't want people to feel: "Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic." I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.
Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible.
I was waiting for a good show on Amazon and 'Paatal Lok' had all of it - good script, story, and cast. It joined all the dots beautifully.
The first time I remember really being excited about a book was 'The Count of Monte Cristo.'
'Goliath' is about nine, 10 minutes long, and the end of it is so interesting, we didn't really want it to be used as a single.
When you pick up a script and you can't stop reading it because it's a real page-turner, that's a good sign.
It's a rare thing when you can read a script in one sitting and you haven't looked at the watch or you've gone to make a cup of tea.
More than anything, I just want people to, like, let themselves be taken on the ride that 'Euphoria' will be over eight episodes and just, like, let it, like, hit them.
'Dhruva' will have them glued to their seats throughout, and I'm sure of that.
I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.
'Kamariya' is a wonderfully composed song. The concept for the video is so fresh, and it's unlike anything I have done before.
