For me, I feel like, between 'Tron' and 'Oblivion,' I've gotten to fulfill my 'Star Wars' fantasies, in a way.

More quotes by Joseph Kosinski
Go out and make something that reflects your interests, your taste, and your ideas. No one will pay you to make something until you have a few things you can show that you've directed. I got my start by making short films on my own.
Joseph Kosinski
An established property can be a blessing and a challenge. On one hand you have all those fans of the original that you can pick up with and continue on with but then you have a lot of people out there who haven't seen the first and might feel like this isn't a movie for them because of that.
Joseph Kosinski
You won't believe how many people have congratulated me around the world for shooting a movie in 2D. It's bizarre. It's the strangest thing.
Joseph Kosinski
I always had some kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.
Joseph Kosinski
In a science fiction movie, the first act is a little longer than it is in most movies because there is so much world building to do.
Joseph Kosinski
There are a lot of limitations so you have to ultimately focus on what you think the most important storyline is.
Joseph Kosinski
Certainly there's pressure while your making the movie.
Joseph Kosinski
The commercial music video industry is very hard to break into, and until you break in, that first job is the hardest thing in the world to get.
Joseph Kosinski
You want the film to be critically successful - you certainly want the film to be financially successful so that you can...well, because that's how movies like this are made, you know, they need to make money. But as a director, you can only make the movie that you want to make.
Joseph Kosinski
The idea itself, the notion of what the next Tron could be, is exciting enough that it would be worth going back to do it. Obviously we hinted some things at the end of Legacy, it's kind of there for people to see what that potential is. So we just want to make sure that we have a script that delivers on that promise on an epic scale.
Joseph Kosinski
I don't think every movie should be made in 3-D, and it should depend on whether it's one of these films that's more immersive or needs to be taken to another world. I'm interested in other formats.
Joseph Kosinski
I'm a huge electronic-music fan.
Joseph Kosinski
Tom [Cruise] is a great producer himself. He's got great sense of story. It's always great to have the perspective of the person who's playing the character in your film.
Joseph Kosinski
It's a fine line to find that balance: to show people enough to give them the promise of something unique, and something they want to see, but at the same time make sure that when they show up for the movie, they're surprised by what they eventually get.
Joseph Kosinski
Well the only reason to go back, for me and I think for anyone involved would be if we could do something truly spectacular. We've been talking about it for a couple years and there's always been this idea, a big idea, in the back of my head that we've been talking about.
Joseph Kosinski
You never want to intentionally make a confusing movie.
Joseph Kosinski
Obviously, there are lots of lessons to be learned on a first movie.
Joseph Kosinski
As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary.
Joseph Kosinski
So however much time has passed since Legacy came out would also have transpired in the real world. So it will still be contemporary. So let's say if the Tron sequel comes out later, then four or five years have passed since the last movie.
Joseph Kosinski
I was always looking for a career that could combine my creative interests with my technical side, and it ends up directing films is the perfect combination.
Joseph Kosinski
