Marc Forster — German Director born on November 30, 1969,

Marc Forster is a German and Swiss filmmaker and screenwriter. He is best known for directing the films Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland, Stranger than Fiction, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace, and World War Z... (wikipedia)

For me, 'The Kite Runner' became about a guy who's emotionally shut down because he hasn't confronted his past.
The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
On 'Stranger Than Fiction,' the script was so good that I stuck to every line because it was just such brilliant writing from Zach Helm that I felt like I really just want to shoot the page.
I always wanted to do an action movie, not particularly 'Bond.'
I always think it's interesting to switch genres, because if I read a script and I know exactly how to manifest a story, I don't really want to do it anymore, because I've already done it in my head.
