A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

I love people who have a good sense of humor, tell a good story, tell a good joke.
