The advantage of the Genesis is that it's a rock-solid camera, made by a company with an enormous history and a huge support base. Plus, it's very good in low light using all the Panavision lenses. The downside is that you're recording on tape.

A lot of sci-fi shows are very cold, too concerned with hardware.

There's a real difference now in what you can get out of film and the rise of digital platforms.
Dean Devlin -
There are an enormous amount of techniques I wanted to beta test in television. You can't take those risks on a $100 million movie.

We're so specialized now in our entertainment. It's nice to do a show where you're really circling back to this idea of, 'Couldn't there be a show the whole family can watch together?'
Dean Devlin -
There is a renaissance of really great genre entertainment happening. But it's become incredibly audience-specific.
Dean Devlin -
I think we have a culture that creates heroes and then needs to knock them down, and then you have to see what the third act brings.
Dean Devlin -
I think that I do about 85% of what I used to do on my computer now on my iPad.

As for 'Independence Day,' we never intended to do any films in that series beyond the first one.
Dean Devlin -
I think there's a lot of factors that go into the whole awards thing. I've never been that big a fan of it.

We're going to come back to Oregon, whether it's with another show, or a pilot, or a movie. We love working up there. I think it's got one of the most amazing talent pools of any state in the union.

That's one of the best things about the RED ONE - I can use all the best lenses that have been used in film forever.
Dean Devlin -
I don't think you can figure this stuff out. If you could figure all this stuff out, then all the great filmmakers would come out of Yale and Harvard. It's not an intellectual process.
Dean Devlin -
I think if we did 'Stargate' right, the fans would like it, and we could do something really good. But if we screw it up, they'll reject it. As they should.

Filmmaking is a real democracy - it's up to the audience to vote with their tickets.
Dean Devlin -
These audiences are so damn smart, way smarter than the studios give them credit for.
Dean Devlin -
The truth is, we were sick of, every time we finished a movie, having to start all over again from nothing, going to a studio, pitching an idea, setting up a new office.
Dean Devlin -
There's no doubt in the world that I am the biggest 'Doctor Who' fan.
Dean Devlin -
I just make the movies I want to see. I've always been that way.
Dean Devlin -
'The Outpost' is an exciting fantasy with a strong female lead that will capture the imagination of fans of both 'Game of Thrones' and 'Wonder Woman.'

We always want our leaders to be great leaders.
Dean Devlin -
'Stargate' was more a fantasy.
Dean Devlin -
I haven't had the egomaniac star yet in any of my films. It's always been a pleasure.

Many years ago, I was actually hired to write the sequel to 'Independence Day.' And I wrote a sequel. And they paid me a boatload of money to go write this thing. And after I wrote it, I read it and I gave them back the money and I said, 'Look, this is an okay movie I just wrote. But it's not worthy of the sequel to 'Independence Day.'
