Doug Liman Quotes

American - Director | July 24, 1965 -

I'm interested in the kind of anti-establishment ethos that goes with making an independent movie. I like to bring that to studio films - usually to the consternation of the studios.

Kind Independent Bring Interested

When I was making 'Bourne Identity,' I wasn't making a dumb action movie like they were expecting it to be.

Identity Action Dumb Like Movie

I've always been interested in giving the audience a first-person experience in my movies.

Experience Giving Movies Audience

In 'The Bourne Identity,' I wanted to give the audience the feeling of being in the car with Jason Bourne, not just watching him drive but be in the car with him, and 'The Wall' is the continuation of that immersive filmmaking style. Where you're trapped behind the wall with Aaron Taylor-Johnson - for better or worse, you're trapped there with him.

Car Style Identity Drive Better You

I'm really interested in real people in extraordinary situations. The detail and reality to that.

People Detail Reality Real Really

I've been really lucky in terms of the people I've gotten to work with.

Work People Lucky Been Really Terms

I've often found, as I did with 'Bourne,' where I was inspired by the events of Iran-Contra when I designed the CIA for the 'Bourne' franchise, that the reality of how things work is usually more compelling than the superficial, made-up version that Hollywood sometimes does.

Work Reality Sometimes Hollywood

VR should be more emotionally involving, but that doesn't happen automatically by just taking a VR camera and sticking it onto what would be a traditionally blocked scene for 2D.

Camera More Happen Blocked Just VR

If you look at my movies, they're pretty densely packed, such that they not only hold up to a second viewing, they're oftentimes better the second time you watch them. So I've always thought about crafting stories that could hold up to multiple viewings, and so VR obviously fits right into that.

Time Thought Better You Look Movies

The audience has a level of control, when you watch 'Invisible,' that nothing in 2D can give you. The overall climax of the series will work no matter how you get there, and the climax of each episode will work no matter how you get there, but no two viewings of an episode will ever be the same.

Work Control You Nothing Matter Two

There's no reason my films can't work as hard as VR does to hook an audience and never let them go, so I think that that it turns the volume up a little bit on storytelling. The same way when I was doing commercials and then I went and shot 'Go,' and 'Go' has a level of pace that is unlike any of my other movies.

Work Think Doing Movies Storytelling

When I set out to make 'Bourne Identity,' my main goal for the franchise was to create something where it feels like you're in the action. You're not just passively watching it from far away. That's something that I have constantly aspired to do - even in 'Swingers,' to feel like you're Jon Favreau; you're not just watching him.

Identity Action Feel You Goal Out
