Stories about travelers coming into town and doing good have been part of our storytelling since the Bible.

I've always said that I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I could make a great movie about him if I set my mind to it.

That transcends everything - skipping the transfer of dailies is a game-changer.

Kurt Russell is the guy you know. He's not something out of a weight-lifting magazine or a cartoon character. The closest thing to him would have been Steve McQueen.
Dean Devlin -
We make movies that crack us up and hope that they crack up other people, too.

'Stargate' has always had this empty hole. When we made the first one, we always intended on doing part two and three, and we were prevented for years. And our hope is that we can get another chance at 'Stargate' and tell the entire story we wanted to tell.

I think when real life interrupts fantasy, it's always shocking.

'The Book of Love' is the kind of James L. Brooks mainstream movie that the majors are ignoring.

We don't over-manage projects like the studios do.

I don't think these weather conditions are going to get better on their own.

I like to get emotional when I watch my entertainment.

We're often accused of trying to manipulate opinion or that we're trying to elevate society. I think that the greatest thing we can do is to give you a vacation.

In the '70s, you didn't know who was going to survive in a disaster film.

'Leverage' is meant to be based in Boston. But in one episode we're in New York, then another in Chicago, Florida, and Eastern Europe.

There was no studio involved when we made 'Stargate.' It was financed through Le Studio Canal+ in France and, after the film was finished, it was sold to MGM. When the film was a success, MGM decided to do a television series based on the movie.

We're making high-budget movies with a low-budget attitude.

I can tell you as a fact that if you'd asked anyone in Hollywood one year before 'Pirates of the Caribbean' had come out, they'd have told you the pirate movie was a dead genre. And it's not that it's a dead genre. If you make a bad pirate movie, no one will want to see it. If you make a good one, everyone will want to see it.

I would love it if the whole 'Godzilla' franchise was revitalized for a new generation.
Dean Devlin -
With 'The Librarians,' we want to be a smart, fun, crazy, genre show, but we also want to be something that people of all ages can watch and enjoy. That, to me, does seem to be increasingly harder to find.

I don't think of myself as a former actor. I think of myself as a reformed actor.

It was somewhere in doing the last season of 'Leverage' that John Rogers and I became confident that we had developed an all-new production technique where we could put more on the screen with very little money. So we started to get more comfortable with the idea of trying to tackle 'The Librarians.'
Dean Devlin -
Of all the projects I've ever done, 'Stargate' is the only one from the beginning intended to be a trilogy. We always wanted to do parts two and three, but the thinking was they didn't want to do anything other than the TV series.

There are amazing behind-the-scenes technicians in Portland who didn't want to raise their families in L.A.

Portland has all the accoutrements of a big city, but the heart and soul of it is a small town, so that creates an intimacy in a large environment.
