Louis Leterrier Quotes

When I was in film school, I was learning more theory than practice Picture Quote #1

Iron Man’ was this fun, poppy thing bound to make a zillion dollars. And we were the other side of a superhero movie. More complex with The Hulk being this complex character - that’s what it was Picture Quote #1

All the superhero stuff is Greek myths and Greek gods, wearing tights and capes. That’s what they are. That’s what I gravitate towards Picture Quote #1

It’s true, I’m the youngest, highest-grossing French director. I have a few records, but no one knows or simply doesn’t care. That’s good, because I like that. Ultimately, I want to keep working, making a lot of movies, and get better at it. It’s about finding great scripts and bringing them to life Picture Quote #1

When you do a first movie, you’re contractually supposed to do the second one and then you don’t do it, you become an executive producer. That’s why there are a ton of directors who have executive producer credits on other movies Picture Quote #1

Even though I studied in New York and I know the American system, I come from France where I learned that with movies in France where the director is king. There’s no such thing as a studio edit. It’s the director’s cut, period Picture Quote #1

I’ll say it, I love working with actors, I’m a fan of actors. They bring so much, and they can also break a movie, but when it works I give it all to the actors. I’ll say it, I think that ‘The Transporter’ is great not because of my direction, it really is great because Jason Statham was great in it Picture Quote #1

My fear in converting it to 3-D is that people will say, ‘Oh, it’s the 3-D ‘Clash of the Titans.’ No, it’s ‘Clash of the Titans,’ the movie, and then, on top of that, you have the 3-D conversion. The 2-D movie works as well as the 3-D movie. I want to make sure that people like the 2-D version Picture Quote #1

If I was to direct a movie about a super-confident guy, first of all I would hate that character. I can do a super-confident guy who crashes and burns and has to rebuild himself as somebody humble. But a super-confident guy that just gets more confident and gets the girl and the money and more success? That’s not interesting Picture Quote #1

Captain America’ I love, and that would be great, but c’mon, a Frenchman doing ‘Captain America?’ They would burn my passport Picture Quote #1

The 2-D movie works as well as the 3-D movie. I want to make sure that people like the 2-D version. It’s not a gimmick. It actually improves the viewing experience, but the movie stands on its own Picture Quote #1

Directing is like cooking, it’s like cuisine. You cannot make a great dish with bad ingredients. I have great actors, and I’m putting them together. That’s all I’m doing Picture Quote #1

Frankly, with HBO and Showtime and cable shows, the DVD box sets and all, you can have a product that doesn’t make you feel like as soon as it’s projected, it’s thrown away. It’s really a piece of art Picture Quote #1

I did my ‘Hulk,’ but it was not easy. If I do another Hulk film it will always be compared to the Ang Lee thing, and my first one... if I come back, I’d love to do another superhero, something different that I can really put my touch on Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, I started by making fake American movies, ‘The Transporter’ and stuff like that. I was shooting in France, but everything was in English. But then afterwards, I was looking at real French movies like the Jacques Audiard movies Picture Quote #1

I just wanted to make a properly good movie, and not beg for the love of the fans Picture Quote #1

Every actor is different so you cannot become best friends on Day One. You just have to learn to know each other Picture Quote #1

Some directors are like it’s their... nothing can change, nothing can move. I like collaborating, even when an extra has an idea, I like to bring to really have collaboration Picture Quote #1
