56 Quotes by Travis Beacham

When you have a movie that has big stars in it... like, Will Smith does a great job in 'I Am Legend,' and it's a magnetic performance, but he's always Will Smith. That's not his fault. That's not anyone's fault. He's the center of it, and he's a movie star. But when you see something like 'Jurassic Park,' Sam Neill is Alan Grant.

It seems so cliched and obvious, but write the movie you want to see in the theater.

When I saw 'Jurassic Park' as a kid, that was the first time I thought about making movies for a living.

I love movies, but I would love to write as many graphic novels as people would read from me.

There's a few things I learned from my experience on 'Hieroglyph.' First of all, I learned that building a world doesn't need to be as expensive as a summer blockbuster. Yeah yeah, newsflash, I know.

If you squint at 'Deadwood,' you can see 'Game of Thrones' coming. That's the show that first got me thinking 'Carnival Row' could be a series.

The writer is just so much more intimately involved in the television process than the feature film process.
