I’m excited we’ve got Halle Berry’s directorial debut. We’ll have some great international films from people like Paolo Sorrentino, Jean Pierre Jeunet. What I liked back in my Universal days is, you could make different things. You could make A Beautiful Mind, The Fast and the Furious, American Pie, and that is what I get to do here and the challenge now is to make them great, and reach the highest quality and that is what you get when you have some of the most talented people in the world. The fun part is working with a lot of people whom you have a lot of admiration for what they do.”
