I'm really drawn to adventure, and characters being plucked from normal life and sent on extraordinary adventures.

I've always had antiheroes in my film.

I'm really interested in real people in extraordinary situations. The detail and reality to that.

My films have been successful, and therefore, the process has accommodated me. When the studio said 'no,' I did it anyhow. Now they don't say no to me.

I've been really lucky in terms of the people I've gotten to work with.

'The Wall' is a reaction to 'Edge of Tomorrow,' where I was like, 'I don't need time travel and aliens to take a hero and pin them down in an impossible situation. I can do it in a much simpler way.' And that was 'The Wall.'

It causes havoc on set anytime a director wants to go backward rather than forward.

I always liked photography in film - I studied photography growing up. I like the medium of film; I like physically holding 35-mm film. I like the way it looks, the quality when it's projected. I like the way it frames real life.

There would be no Marvel without 'Swingers'; there would be no Jon Favreau directing 'Iron Man,' no Robert Downey Jr. playing Iron Man; no 'Avengers.'

Antiheroes who are sort of honest to themselves are the ones you root for. Like, Barry Seal isn't trying to be anything other than he is. He isn't fooling anybody per se.

VR is so immersive, and when it works, it draws you into the story in a way that is truly unique and powerful.
Doug Liman
-
I'm really anxious not to repeat what I've done before, to keep pushing and learning.
Doug Liman
-
Given the kind of filmmaker I am, the kind of experiences I've been trying to give audiences, I was drawn to the potential of VR before I even tried watching anything in VR.
Doug Liman

I've made a career of being a contrarian. If I'm going to work with Tom Cruise, it's my instinct to be like, 'Well, I'm going to do the anti-Tom Cruise movie.'
