'Swingers' was always set in another world.
Doug Liman -
The system did not want me to make 'Go.' And I sort of stood up to the system and made the movie I wanted to make, and the fact that I did that and I'm proud of the movie means I'm really proud of myself when I look back on that.

-
I love 'Bringing Up Baby.' Anything that Katharine Hepburn's in. I'm committed to the Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn era of filmmaking.
Doug Liman -
We love movies like 'Edge of Tomorrow.' It's why we go to the movies, and it's why we make movies.

I thought I was done making CIA movies after 'The Bourne Identity.' I really had used my father's work in Iran-Contra on 'The Bourne Identity.' You get one experience like that in your life where you have personal exposure to something, and you put it in a movie. That's it.
Doug Liman -
I'm really drawn to adventure, and characters being plucked from normal life and sent on extraordinary adventures.

I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.

The one thing about reality is sometimes it gives you material that is wilder than some of your wildest imagination could come up with.
Doug Liman -
When I read the script of 'The Wall,' I saw how much different the war looks from the point of view of a soldier fighting it.
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 -
It causes havoc on set anytime a director wants to go backward rather than forward.
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.'
