Chrissie Hynde
I’ll tell you what it is… just why ‘Wonder Woman’ worked. Or ‘Bionic Woman,’ or any of those, really. It was because it wasn’t about brawn… it was about brains. And yes, she happened to be beautiful, she happened to be kind of extraordinary in some way, but she wasn’t a guy.
Lynda Carter
We feel like ‘Lost’ deserved a real resolution, not a ‘snow globe, waking up in bed, it’s all been a dream, cut to black’ kind of ending. We thought that would be kind of a betrayal to an audience that’s been on this journey for six years. We thought that was not the right ending for our show.

Here’s the thing – I’m single, I haven’t been married, I don’t have kids yet. If I do have kids I would be interested to see them in my life, so here’s a movie for kids and I’m in there and I’m supposed to be kind of funny for kids.

In a regular theatre, you’d be kind of moving your eye from one character 5 feet over to the right on the cut. In IMAX, suddenly that’s like 20 feet. So I would love to do something. I think I would really want to take the massive screen into consideration so that it would be done properly.
Pete Docter
