Originally, I thought, 'Gollum's such a fantastic character, why are you doing him CG? Surely you need to be able to humanise him as much as possible - he's so full of pathos and real emotion.'
And 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll' was a very transitional film for me in that I was one of the producers and you know, came up with the idea with the writer and the producer, as well. But, it was a very collaborative event. You know, I really love working in that way.
Both my parents are Catholic and staunch believers. I'm not a Catholic now, but I still carry part of it with me.
I'm a shockingly bad sleeper. In bed very late. Awake at the crack of dawn.
Thank God for Skype!
I'd already started directing short films when we were doing 'Lord of the Rings,' then videogame projects.
