I had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films.
Making a film that's supposed to be fun to watch is really hard - that's the weird irony of it.
I just produced Criminal, this remake of Nine Queens, and one of the things that appealed to me about Nine Queens is that it was a performance piece, and that's the most fun.
It's fun when you've asked the community for help ... you want to go back, at least let them see what the results were. We had a great time here.
A real explosion is not only much more fun to shoot, it also helps the actors and creates an energy on set and ultimately in the scene.
I never leave the writer behind, because you rewrite the movie in post, or at least I do. I always do, and I feel like anybody who doesn't at least explore that possibility is short-changing themselves. Editing is the most fun and most exciting part of the process.
