00:00i can't imagine i know it's the most popular movie i've ever done and i would have never thought that

00:05uh 25 years later it's a pleasure to be here talking to you i'm a huge fan of your work

00:11um and well i want to start asking you i think that one of your greatest creative gifts is the

00:17ability to take like these archetypal characters and give them something deeply human you know

00:26fresh flawed vulnerable and fun yeah uh i mean you always manage to give them like an upgrade

00:32you know and to align them into what resonates today so talking about superman what did you want

00:38to deconstruct or reframe through your own lens yeah i think it really i think that the way i

00:45approach you know rocket raccoon and superman are exactly the same i think that when i was first

00:50faced with writing rocket i was like oh my god it's a talking raccoon how am i going to do this and not

00:54be goofy and i said well what if he was real that's always i always start with that what if this was

01:00real and um and i think that was the same with superman what if superman was real what would be

01:06the challenges he would actually face you know how could he how could glasses actually be his disguise

01:13how could you know what would a world be like if it had actual superheroes and it would would it be

01:19how it's commonly portrayed as just heroes and villains or would it be people in all shades of

01:23gray just like we have in ordinary life so i always start with that question what if it's real you

01:29know and i think that you know that came upon where superman is in this movie with sort of balancing who

01:36he is as a kryptonian and who he is as the son of kansas farmers and which side is is dominant

01:46and well i get the sense that when you write or direct you're telling stories for yourself you know it's

01:52like you're entertaining your inner child or your inner storyteller so did that happen with superman i

01:59mean was this a story that you needed to tell for yourself before anyone else oh that's always the

02:06case i mean i'm always going to be the first audience member whether it's the first screen you

02:11know right reading the screenplay for the first time or watching the movie i've always got to please

02:16myself first steven spielberg said it once he's a very good audience member and that's one of the

02:20reasons why his movies are so good because he watches his own movies like he's the audience

02:26i hope that i can you know do that same thing so yeah i'm always the first judge and a lot of it is

02:32just gut you know when i'm making a a movie writing the screenplay or making the film there's like

02:37something isn't sit right with me and i sometimes i don't know what it is and takes me days to figure

02:42out or weeks or months what is it that isn't quite sitting right with me um and you know nothing can

02:50ever be perfect but you you try as hard as you can to make it the best it can be and you always

02:54entertain us a lot so um i gotta say that a lot of people might not know that before uh directing

03:02suicide squad peacemaker and now superman you were the mastermind behind scooby-doo the live action

03:09that's right that's right and i gotta tell you that that movie defined my childhood you you can't

03:14imagine yeah i can't imagine i know it's the most popular movie i've ever done and i would have never

03:21thought that uh 25 years later is there a part of that story that you or that experience that you still

03:29carry on with each uh film or that you write or direct um a part of the experience of scooby-doo

03:39i learned everything on those movies i mean those movies were so helpful to me and i was incredibly

03:45embraced by the director raja gazanel and the producer chuck rovin who took me in and really you

03:52know i was there on set every day you know dealing with them and that's very unusual for a writer in

03:58hollywood i was sent i was sent all the you know auditions um and and gave my two cents on who i

04:04thought i mean i saw linda carlini as velma i'm like we have to hire this girl she's so good um and

04:11and they listened to me and that is a rare thing and i really attribute mostly that to chuck rovin who

04:19you know really gave me my start he took me in and on the second movie we did we did that and he

04:24brought me in to watch all the vfx so that i knew how to do vfx so that by the time i got the guardians

04:30everybody's like well he's only directed movies that are like you know 15 million or under i'm like

04:34yeah but i've been around effects a long time so i knew a lot about effects by that time so yeah scooby

04:40doo was incredibly important you know for me and being able to write a cgi animal which has obviously

04:46been something that's a part of you know guardians and peacemaker and superman it's um it's it's been

04:53uh it was really a a great a great learning experience for me i'm super excited to see

04:59everything that you mentioned now in superman super super excited to strike a balance between

05:04the timeless nature of superman and your own signature style as a filmmaker how did you manage to

05:12keep the essence but also give the james conk signature well i'm a superman fan i'm a fan of

05:17dc comics and have been since i was a kid so i think it's kind of innately part of me that i'm not going

05:22to do something that you know um subsumes who superman is as a character like i'm i really care about who

05:30he is i care about um what i think of as those core values of superman of the you know the the the

05:38kindness the goodness of superman um you know the basic you know you know super strength and flying

05:46and beams out of his eyes and kryptonite kills him and all that stuff um so i think i i don't really

05:52think it's something i had to try too hard to do it's just you can't you know that's a superman movie

05:56i would want to make is one that you know adheres to the certain you know strengths of superman whether

06:02it be you know the writing of uh you know you know grant morrison or the drawings of kurt swan or

06:08you know any of the guys from the comics who were so great and i just want to finish last question

06:14saying that i love superman movies because of my dad you know and we always uh like to go to the

06:21cinema and watch the new version of it yeah and he was telling me yesterday you could ask him how

06:27uh important it's to align superman to the time that the movie is premier so how did you manage to

06:35align superman to this modern era what are we going to see well i think it really is seeing you know

06:40what superman you know i think that you know in the past it's been sort of difficult to do superman

06:47because people think of him as you know kind and corny right and um i think that those are his

06:54strengths and so it wasn't about fighting against that kindness or the colorfulness of his costume or

07:02the cape or the trunks it was about embracing those things and allowing those things to be what they

07:07are um and to see that kindness and that goodness in a world that isn't so kind and that isn't the

07:14thing that's being you know you know uh you know spread out over social networking and the media there's

07:20a lot of meanness out there and so i think it's it's today the things that seemed you know sort of

07:26palian and corny are actually the things that make superman the ultimate rebel and that's that's the

07:33part of this movie that was really fun to to create thank you so much for your time you cannot imagine

07:38how excited i am about this movie because i love your work and i love superman oh thank you it's going

07:43it's going to be the movie of the summer can't wait for your dad to see it yeah i love it i'm super

07:48excited
