Quotes from Ruben Fleischer

As far as 'Venom,' we took some license with this because I don't think we know a lot about him from his days on planet Klyntar in the comic. But in our movie we thought maybe he could also be somebody who's a little bit of a loser, a loner, and doesn't love being subordinate.

Venom' is a standalone character who has so much attitude, menace and ferocity. He's also really funny in the comics and in our movie. He's a really compelling guy that can completely stand on his own. When he's played by Tom Hardy, and Eddie Brock is his partner, that relationship is enough for one movie.

Venom,' we worked all the way up until the release. It was one of the latest things you could possibly push the schedule to. We actually finished it two weeks before it had to go everywhere throughout the world.

The trickiest thing is that a lot of times in 'Venom' comics, they'll reveal part of Eddie, and he'll be like a Venom body with an Eddie head, or he'll do that classic split frame face.

I think we can all agree it would be pretty amazing to see Spider-Man and Venom face off in a film.

With '30 Minutes or Less,' there was a conscious decision on my part to make it a little less stylized. I wanted it to feel like an '80s action movie.

It's like somehow my favorite filmmakers, you know, bounce between genres. Like if you look at a career of somebody like Soderbergh or Danny Boyle or the Coen's. I mean, it goes - there's no real through line other than just their style, but the type of genre or the type of subject matter seems to go all over.

What's great about 'Spy Hunter' is that we have an amazing title, an awesome car, and a great theme song, and we can use that to launch a new franchise that hopefully will compete with the other ones but just be kind of the more fun, video game version of a spy movie.

I come from music videos and commercials, where style is a big part of the whole world. I've always tried to add that to whatever I'm doing.

I was working in commercials and music videos, always with the goal of working in feature films.

When I started trying to become a director, I started shooting low budget short films, 50-dollar music videos, making my own stuff. That eventually led to commercials.

I get really excited thinking about being in the world without a lot of people.
