People Quotes by Antoine Fuqua

Antoine Fuqua

I love movies; I grew up loving movies. I’ve always loved movies. I never thought about making movies until I took art classes and then I started studying different artists. As you study paintings, you see light and shadow, of course – Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix. You start to understand the relationship between people and art, and images. For me, between movies that I watched and art, it was like, I’d love to make moving art. Moving pictures.

In movies you get to do that. Sometimes with the vigilante justice movie he has to also tangle with police, which are traditional or security people. Is there going to be any of that in this?

It’s not worth it, it’s not about money, especially when you’re dealing with a culture. It should be about elevating the idea of what we are and who we are as people in the cinema, and that kind of stuff keeps dragging us back down.

My experience of test screenings is that you don’t know what kind of mood people are going to be in, and sometimes the studios accept what Joe Blo says – and this guy could just be a frustrated filmmaker, or not paying attention.

There are many stories of people didn’t set out to make a film that became a classic – the whole process was a disaster, everybody hated each other, the movie itself was a disaster, everybody thought the movie and the script was going to be a piece of crap. Look at Alfred Hitchcock and Psycho. Nobody wanted to make Psycho; it was crap to them. The only person that wanted to make Psycho was Hitchcock. Now, it’s considered a classic and a work of art.

Tupac Shakur is something that, of course I want to make the Tupac movie, I love Tupac, but when that movie was announced, we didn’t even have a script yet. It was just being written. People announce things too soon. If you go to any filmmaker – Clint Eastwood, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Ben Affleck, Michael Mann – you go in their offices and there are scripts everywhere and there’s about four or five of them you really want to make.
