The boundary between real life and acting is hard to find.
I'm a huge comic book collector. When I was a kid, I had both Marvel and DC. I was my own librarian. I made card files. I had origin stories of all the characters, and cross-referenced when they appeared in other comic books. I was full on.
Movies aren't just supposed to be a representation of reality. They're supposed to be an art.
We should be writing more great roles for women, period. Another problem is that movies are generally made for 14-year-old boys, and 14-year-old boys want to watch 25-year-old action heroes.
I'd be really interested in making a dramatic, low key 3D film.
