'The Book of Love' is the kind of James L. Brooks mainstream movie that the majors are ignoring.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We're going to come back to Oregon, whether it's with another show, or a pilot, or a movie. We love working up there. I think it's got one of the most amazing talent pools of any state in the union.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
There's a real difference now in what you can get out of film and the rise of digital platforms.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
In tough times, we all hope for knights in shining armor, or the cavalry, to show up and effect change.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
Stories about travelers coming into town and doing good have been part of our storytelling since the Bible.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
The real trick to these movies and making the big action sequences work - and I've forgotten this sometimes and screwed it up - the characters really have to be humanized. Because you can have the greatest special effects in the world, but if you don't care about the people in those effects, there's no impact.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
In movies, we've run out of ideas for bad guys. We end up with politically incorrect villains, like Arab terrorists or Latin drug dealers or corrupt politicians. Well, aliens are the best film villains since the Nazis. You don't have to worry about offending anyone.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I don't think of myself as a former actor. I think of myself as a reformed actor.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
The truth is, we were sick of, every time we finished a movie, having to start all over again from nothing, going to a studio, pitching an idea, setting up a new office.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
Spielberg is our hero. For him to make a nod to 'Godzilla' just before we make our movie is like getting the king to acknowledge you at dinner.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We have to produce a high-quality show, but we have less and less time and money to do it. If you are using the tapeless approach to save money, you will.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
If you were around when 'Them!' or 'Tarantula' came out, those effects were as good as you had ever seen.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
When you convince sci-fi fans you've done something cool, you get them in huge numbers.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I've always said that I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I could make a great movie about him if I set my mind to it.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We had an amazing experience shooting the first season of 'Leverage' with such a talented cast and crew and with the full support of TNT behind us.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
Had the car companies continued to do generation two, generation three, generation four of the EV-1, we'd be looking at a spectacular car today.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I've always lived by this philosophy, when it comes to conspiracies, never to attribute to deviousness that which can be explained by incompetence.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I think that I do about 85% of what I used to do on my computer now on my iPad.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
These audiences are so damn smart, way smarter than the studios give them credit for.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We intellectualize it, and we rationalize it, but it's really about a love of movies, and I think whether you're making an art film or you're making a genre film, if you don't really love that movie you are trying to make, you'll be able to tell.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I don't think you can figure this stuff out. If you could figure all this stuff out, then all the great filmmakers would come out of Yale and Harvard. It's not an intellectual process.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
Of all the projects I've ever done, 'Stargate' is the only one from the beginning intended to be a trilogy. We always wanted to do parts two and three, but the thinking was they didn't want to do anything other than the TV series.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We did the original 'Stargate' as an independent movie. It was a surprise success. Shortly before the movie came out, the financiers who were frightened the movie might not do well sold the film to MGM. When the film came out, it was a hit and spawned TV shows.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
'Independence Day,' ever since we did it, there's been enormous pressure to follow it up.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
There are an enormous amount of techniques I wanted to beta test in television. You can't take those risks on a $100 million movie.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
With 'The Librarians,' we want to be a smart, fun, crazy, genre show, but we also want to be something that people of all ages can watch and enjoy. That, to me, does seem to be increasingly harder to find.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
There is a renaissance of really great genre entertainment happening. But it's become incredibly audience-specific.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We took over with 'Leverage' three warehouses, and now four with 'The Librarians,' and turned them into proper sound stages with sound doors and all the lights. We now have control of four real, proper-sized sound stages. The problem is they're dark and empty half of the year because there aren't enough productions coming into Oregon.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
When I first came to Oregon, the annual amount spent on production was $1 million to $1.5 million. By the time 'Leverage' was done, there had been over $100 million in production that year.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I haven't had the egomaniac star yet in any of my films. It's always been a pleasure.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
It's always hard to watch something you create be put in somebody else's hands.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I think we have a culture that creates heroes and then needs to knock them down, and then you have to see what the third act brings.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We're often accused of trying to manipulate opinion or that we're trying to elevate society. I think that the greatest thing we can do is to give you a vacation.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
We all want our children to be terrific, but you can't force a child into being what you want it to be.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
I think there's a lot of factors that go into the whole awards thing. I've never been that big a fan of it.
Quote by -Dean Devlin
'Librarians' is surprisingly touching in a lot of ways where it's not expected.
