Robert Rodriguez

Go tell your friends now so you all spend money on our movie. Well, where's your cut of that? So I want them to be successful. So if any of the movies in the slate do well, they make money off that one and then sequels or anything. But they're all going to do well because everyone needs an action movie or we're going to keep the cost down.

It comes down to the character. You know, like if you think about what are the best action films? What are your favorite films? Like Die Hard. He's a cop, so he's still capable, but he's not Superman. The fact that he's like in over his head and you're rooting for him, that's a great character.

You know, John Wick, he is Superman, but he's retired and now he's pissed off and he's going back into a job. You know, so it comes down to the character really being very important because the action will then have a character to it. I think Leon the Professional. That's a character. I mean, that's all about character.

Now that, when I say we're going to do action movies, I mean movies that are really action first. Like there's some movies that are more dramas that have action. Where's the boundary? So John Wick is action. That's more action, but it has character in it, but it's action driven. What about like Predator? Predator is a sci-fi action film.

So that's kind of a hybrid, which I like, but sometimes it's hard for the audience to know what they're buying into. Like they focused a lot on the action in the trailer, you know, and then they felt there was some other worldly thing, but you didn't really know, but it's a great movie. So Die Hard is a good example.

It was a good example where I could think of right off where there's a character that really made the difference. And then everyone repeated that, you know, for a while. It was like under siege. I was like a regular guy who's really actually has some training on a ship now. And then on the bus, you got a cop. He's a cop, but he's not super cop. So that's why you root for him.

You know, that became an element that people repeated a lot. What about Taken? That's a great one. That's a great character who is superhuman, who's also retired. There's a superhero type character in an extraordinary circumstance. That's now his daughter's taken. And then there's ordinary people like the Terminator. That's a great character. Not the Terminator. He's a villain.
