“If you make a movie about Elizabeth I, how much of the dialogue is her...” — Jean-Jacques Annaud Quote

“If you make a movie about Elizabeth I, how much of the dialogue is her real words? Audiences know when they go see a movie that it is fiction.”

“I think it is a mistake to identify a movie according to its language, as if movies were literature.”

“When a French book becomes an international hit it is because of the author and not because of the language. The same goes for movies.”

“We remain committed to inspiring and compelling social change to the world's most pressing problems through the power of great stories and engaging our audiences to take meaningful action.”

“I've always had an idealistic streak about storytelling in that I believe we owe more to audiences than repeatedly bludgeoning them over the head while stealing their lunch money. We owe them inspiration. That's why I'm more interested now in creating new heroes than hooking up jumper cables to old ones.”
