“I always liked photography in film - I studied photography growing up....” — Doug Liman Quote

I always liked photography in film - I studied photography growing up. I like the medium of film; I like physically holding 35-mm film. I like the way it looks, the quality when it's projected. I like the way it frames real life.

I'm really drawn to adventure, and characters being plucked from normal life and sent on extraordinary adventures.

I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.

Antiheroes who are sort of honest to themselves are the ones you root for. Like, Barry Seal isn't trying to be anything other than he is. He isn't fooling anybody per se.

I have no opinion on 48 frames a second at all. I'd be completely unsuitable to talk about that.

I always have two pairs of glasses: geeky black Warby Parker frames and Wayfarer Ray Bans. Those are key!

Peter Jackson is a real big hero of mine because he had the nerve to make 'The Hobbit' at 48 frames per second.

Round, cat-eye frames, wayfarers, and aviators are my go-tos.

I didn't want people to sit there and watch 10 minutes of film,and all they write about is 48 frames.
