I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in 'Mad Max,' and that was a very masculine kind of hero.

I don't believe that a female character needs to surrender her femininity in order to be an action hero.

'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.

There's something about dinosaurs that should be very humbling to human beings.

There's a glee in building a world that is constructed on corporate synergy and all the luxuries of our modern life, and then just tearing it apart. I enjoy that!

Intimacy between humans need not be relegated to independent film. Real characters can exist no matter what the scale of a movie is.
