I’ve got dreams now of reinventing ‘Hellraiser’ and just getting my head on anything I can get my hands on that maybe I would love. ‘Cause the possibilities are endless: I can make my own movies; I can make other people’s movies. But if someone had a ‘Hellraiser’ script and had funding, and I loved it, let’s go.
Election funding is one of the biggest fault lines in our electoral system.

We’ve already seen other candidates set up these secretive super PACs where they don’t take any responsibility for what they’re funding… because that’s how the game has always been played. I’ve been very proud to tell people, ‘I’m stepping forward, and you can see every single one of our donors.’

We were happy with funding ‘Rage’ on our own nickel for years. We intended to do the same with ‘Doom 4’. We had offers early on for ‘Rage’. People offered us X million dollars. But we carried the risk, and when we finally signed a deal, it was X plus $10 million.
