Quotes by Gore Verbinski
Gore Verbinski's insights on:
My agent called and said, 'How do you feel about a pirate movie? I mean, how often are you going to get that call? It's sort of the singularly most failed genre of our time, but I thought it had to be attempted one more time. I think there's something rebellious about pirates, something revolutionary about them. They came out of a time when things were oppressive; you could get hung for stealing a loaf of bread. For me, the Pirates films are about when it's right to break the rules to achieve what you want.
I always wanted to do an animated movie. I find it to be incredibly liberating as a way of telling a story.
I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear
Animated films are so precisely engineered - right down to forming lines of dialogue with words pulled from several different takes - how do you translate that spontaneity from the live-action to the digital realm?
Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me.
