A biography for Colin Trevorrowhasn’t been written yet.
“I've said before: 'If you're going to earnestly sing a song around a campfire, you'd better be a Muppet!' Or else we're just not going to buy it.”
“I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had.”
“We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.”
“There's scary stuff in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' There's some really nasty skeletons and dead bodies.”
“'Jurassic Park' isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation.”
“I don't believe that a female character needs to surrender her femininity in order to be an action hero.”
“In a movie that's sort of a single monster movie, like 'Jaws,' once you see the animal, it identifies the threat, and you're able to start working on ways to take down the threat.”
“I prefer to be scared in a way that a 12-year-old would want to be.”
“I would just encourage people: your childhood belongs to you, and don't give anyone, especially me, the power to ruin your childhood.”
“I think intensity is one thing, and gore is another.”
“'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.”
“Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on Amblin movies. They're a part of who I am as a filmmaker and, arguably, as a person.”
“There's no need for a female character that does things like a male character; that's not what makes interesting female characters in my view.”
“I feel like, on a more macro scale, there's started to be a relationship between filmmakers and people who watch their films - you know, on Twitter and on the Internet.”
“There's something really interesting about how human beings just want to see animals tear each other apart, maybe because we can't do it.”
“I don't have a PR rep. I live in Vermont.”
“I applied everything that I could muster creatively to this mission to find a way to create a new 'Jurassic Park' movie for a new generation.”
“The movies of our particular childhood were so great that it's almost impossible to recapture that magic, especially as adults.”
“I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.”
“I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.”
