Ruben Fleischer

Some time after 'Gangster Squad,' after I'd made a couple other movies, I was like, 'In retrospect that 'Zombieland' experience was about as good as it can get, both between the cast and the world of the movie and the way it was received.' I was like, 'We should probably do another 'Zombieland.'

What's great about 'Spy Hunter' is that we have an amazing title, an awesome car, and a great theme song, and we can use that to launch a new franchise that hopefully will compete with the other ones but just be kind of the more fun, video game version of a spy movie.

I love 'Bond' movies, I love spy movies.

He's an American treasure, I would be honored to fight Tom Hanks.

I get really excited thinking about being in the world without a lot of people.

Yeah, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to try different things.

You know, duality has always been a strong theme throughout 'Venom'-focused stories, whether it's in the comics or in movies, and that's something I think that Tom Hardy's played with in a lot of his work.

If you've loved a girl your entire life and you've been afraid to tell her, don't wait because you never know what might happen.

And my idols in music videos are people like Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze and Johnathan Glazer and David Fincher and that's always kind of been my reference point in music video and commercial directors.

Traditionally in zombie movies, one of the main characters dies.

I love TV.

Zombie purists don't even call our zombies zombies, because to be a zombie you have to be undead. That's something zombie purists can fight about for years and years to come.

I think any opportunity you can to employ some visual technique, go for it.

Bill Murray, we've got to get people worthy to be on the screen with him, as opposed to just a bunch of random... with no disrespect... but a bunch of random local actors.

I've got to give a lot of credit to my cinematographer, Chung-hoon Chung, who is a master and among other things shot 'Old Boy,' which is a very famous single-take fight scene. He's really a true master.

I haven't done a movie without a member of the original cast of 'Zombieland' - they've all been in every movie I've done.

I thought 'I Am Legend' did a really great job of it, and 'Omega Man,' that concept of an empty world.

Like, I've worked on movies where you go in every day and you know that what you're shooting isn't very good to start with and then you have to figure it out, and that's way harder.

I think the filmmakers that I love are ones that cross genres and do different thinks, the way that David O. Russell can do something like 'Flirting With Disaster' but then go do 'Three Kings' which is like an incredibly visual film - that's a huge reference point.

If you have somebody who can just do everything easily, then it's kind of boring. If you're handcuffed to a chair and you've got to fight while your handcuffed, or something like that, it just adds a cool element.
