“The reality is, the movies that were most impactful to me growing up, when I dec…” — Doug Liman

It turns out that it's easier to do politics in a movie. People really don't want it in their TV.

I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.

I never want to repeat myself. I can't imagine anything else as upsetting as realizing I'm redoing something I did before. For some reason, when it comes to film, I'm very good at not repeating myself. Even though in the rest of my life, I'm constantly repeating my mistakes.

The beating heart of your story... that's not what shows up in a trailer. The other stuff is what shows up in a trailer, because that's what gets people in to the seats, and that's how studios make their money.
