We're producing a movie now, 'The Onion' Movie, and it's very difficult for me to be on the set. If I'm not right in the trenches, it's very difficult for me to watch another director, because I'm not involved and it's not exciting. David Zucker difficultdirectorexcit share on social
I think up until the point when we started in the business, which was in the early '70s, most of the humor was political. The smart humor was political satire. David Zucker 70sbusinessearly Change image and share on social
I think once we started directing separately - we each have different kinds of interests now, and the kinds of movies we want to do. I wouldn't hold your breath for that one. David Zucker breathdirecthold Change image and share on social
I don't know if I'd want to do that anymore, because you always get bigger laughs on college campuses. So, when the film plays in front of a city audience, you've probably cut too loosely. David Zucker anymoreaudiencebig Change image and share on social
I lose tons of stuff on the cutting room floor. For Scary Movie 3, for example, we had a lot of Matrix spoofs, a Hulk scene, and some of that stuff just doesn't hold up - it's too much plot, audiences just didn't want to hear about it. David Zucker audiencecutfloor share on social
I don't really know a lot of famous people. I've met a lot of famous people. If I ran into Tom Hanks today, I would have to remind him who I was and he would then remember me. But he wouldn't come up to me and say, 'Hi Dave!' David Zucker davefamoushank share on social
It's useless to try and make rhyme or reason of it, because one guy thinks one thing and the other guy sees a whole other thing. So I try not to take them too seriously. Lately I have them screened so I only read the positive ones. David Zucker guymakepositive share on social
Sometimes, if you really want to try something original, you step a little too far out of bounds. I mean, there's a market force that kind of unconsciously keeps you in line a little bit. David Zucker biteboundforce Change image and share on social
Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn't think they were right for Airplane! because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian. David Zucker airplanebillchase Change image and share on social
We didn't realize it at the time, but the release date, the ad campaign and the poster are so important. David Zucker campaigndateimportant Change image and share on social
