- James Cameron and Peter Jackson on making films in the age of technology – If I did Titanic today, I'd do it very differently. There wouldn't be a 750-foot-long set. There would be small set pieces integrated into a large CGI set. I wouldn't have to wait seven days to get the perfect sunset for the kiss scene. We'd shoot it in front of a green screen, and we'd choose our sunset.

- Michael Mann's "The Last of the Mohicans" is essentially an invocation of American Romantic paintings popular around the time Cooper wrote The Last of the Mohicans (1830 or so) – It often suggests an action movie as it would have been imagined then. The Romantic sensibility isn’t apparent only in the landscape shots—redolent of Thomas Cole—but in the interior scenes as well, which are equally suggestive of a divine presence in worldly affairs. One scene around the middle of the film, when the Mohicans recount an earlier massacre of the British troops, is a marvel of composition: an empty space in the center of the frame is lit as if by halo, and the Mohicans stand in shadow on the right, their tan skin and clothing blended with the muted light. This could well be the recreation of a forgotten Romantic painting titled The Meeting of the British and Mohicans—just as many paintings of the Romantic era seem to anticipate the grandeur of Hollywood epics. (The touring exhibition of major Romantic paintings, such as Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa, also anticipates the way Hollywood epics were distributed from Birth of a Nation through roughly the early 60s.)

- Werner Herzog: The Hollywood Interview – A satire, I think, is something else. I can’t explain it…there’s something more mysterious to it, something much darker and more subversive. A satire would be, it would try to imitate something and try to ridicule something, and here it doesn’t do it, so I don’t feel comfortable labeling it as a satire. Let’s be content with saying it’s hilarious. (laughs)

- Public Enemies meinattiin kuvata filmille, mutta siitä tuli kuitenkin HD-tuotanto – In the end, the F23’s rendering of night scenes sealed the deal. “This movie has a lot of night action, including a lot of gunfights on city streets, so the digital camera’s higher sensitivity and ability to see into shadows was a major benefit,” says Spinotti. “Also, we believed digital would facilitate a more dynamic use of film grammar while giving us a hyper-realistic look.”
- The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, shot by Tobias Schliessler – Niin just: "We did one camera on a 360-degree circle track, constantly moving, searching and pushing in with the zooms. " – Mutta alkuperäisen leffan kuvaajasta: "A third character of sorts was just as important: New York City. Charged with capturing that gritty “New York-ness” on film was Brooklyn native Owen Roizman, ASC, who had notched Oscar nominations for The French Connection (1971) and The Exorcist (1973)."
