  McG discussing Terminator

  “I wanted to be respectful and tell [original Terminator director] Jim [Cameron] that I intended to honor what he put into motion. And I believed him when he told me that he finished telling the story at the end of the second film. So I brought it to him that the story was still worth exploring because [Terminator Salvation] was about the future war between the machines and humanity.” http://dietrichthrall.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/new-interview-with-terminator-salvation-director-mcg/

  McG Discussing his vision for his new project, a remake of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

  "It's a bit of a departure from the Fleischer movie, and much more in keeping with the spirit of the novel, as far as what Aronnax is up to, and the becoming of Nemo, and how the man became at war with war itself. So there's a little bit more meat on the bone in regard to the genesis of the Nemo character than you're given in the '50s movie that Disney made. And also, it's a little more contemporary, because in that movie, there were...You know, I love that movie, but there were two female characters, they were both prostitutes. And there were a couple of black people in the film, and they were all electrocuted. So nowadays, I think we need to progress a little bit beyond that." http://www.latinoreview.com/news/mcg-is-sinking-to-20-000-leagues-7649
