The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Matt Reeves
- When you think of the “Exorcist” (1973) you think of Linda Blair and pea soup and all this madness, but really if you look at the first half of that film, the stuff between her and Ellen Burstyn is so naturalistic and so real.
- My main interest in being a director, and the most important thing to me, is that world with the actors.
- That was one of the key things – when you asked the story about the writing of the story – one of the things we wanted to make sure was that it grew out of.
- I think the fun thing about this franchise [Planet of Apes], as storytellers, is that a lot of the franchises are very black and white. This is all about the gray areas; it’s really about the nature.
- One of the things I thought coming into the franchise, what I thought was a unique gift: you hear so much of these reboots, remakes, re-whatevers, and the thing about them is that a lot of them are retellings.
- That movie [War for the Planet of the Apes] is incredibly engaging; it’s what drives the emotion of all these films. So tonight, we’re going to show a long sequence that’s actually going to be.
- It’s that we’re experiencing emotion through photo-real apes, and that’s really holding a mirror up to who we are. It’s interesting, because as we’re showing the movie now, we’re getting a lot of response about things [people] think are very topical. And the intention is never to approach it from the outside-in, which is to say, “Ah, this is going on, let’s draw that in.”
- There’s something about seeing a movie that you like, and being able to see the scenes that didn’t make it, just as a window into the process of how choices are made and how a movie is made. To me, the idea of getting to have the scenes on the DVD is very exciting.
- Of course you’re nervous, but we’re really excited to be able to share what we’re going to share. And it’s cool, because what we’re going to be doing, I think for fans especially, we think is really cool, because part of the process that most people don’t ever get to see [is] that before these movies are movies starring photo-real apes, they’re movies starring the image of Andy Serkis and the other actors, who are playing apes.
- What I thought was so great about Rise [of the Planet of the Apes ] was that it wasn’t a retelling; it was an entering of the universe at a different point. So it’s Planet of the Apes. We already know the ending. There’s no mystery in that! It becomes Planet of the Apes. So it’s not about what is at the end; it’s about how did we get there? And that enabled something that was totally fresh, which was an ape-point-of-view movie.
