don’t mean to sound weird but I get so immersed in the source material when I’m working on a movie that I kind of lose the line between what I thought of and what was in the book.

Also I’ve got to say in the movie [“300”] Gorgo, who is the Queen, she has also a part that is – I think – I don’t want to say, ‘Oh look, it’s multi-quadrant,’ and all this. I believe that it is because I think my dad can see this movie and go, ‘F**k yeah!

He’s this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What we’ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It’s been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes.

Well, Bradbury’s a genius. Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favorite books of all time, and The Illustrated Man as a collection of short stories ranks up there. When you read it you realize how influential it is on so many other stories and people.

ZACK SNYDER -
Probably the hardest thing to do was the beginning of the movie [“300”], I think, when we were in Sparta and all that – just getting in the groove.
