What's great about 'Spy Hunter' is that we have an amazing title, an awesome car, and a great theme song, and we can use that to launch a new franchise that hopefully will compete with the other ones but just be kind of the more fun, video game version of a spy movie.

I think we can all agree it would be pretty amazing to see Spider-Man and Venom face off in a film.

Ruben Fleischer

I think the filmmakers that I love are ones that cross genres and do different thinks, the way that David O. Russell can do something like 'Flirting With Disaster' but then go do 'Three Kings' which is like an incredibly visual film - that's a huge reference point.

Ruben Fleischer

I haven't done a movie without a member of the original cast of 'Zombieland' - they've all been in every movie I've done.

Ruben Fleischer

I thought 'I Am Legend' did a really great job of it, and 'Omega Man,' that concept of an empty world.

Ruben Fleischer

There is more than enough 'Venom' to go around. Venom is a really huge character, and Hardy is an amazing actor, so there is plenty to mine just from Tom's performance, the character and the world he inhabits.

Ruben Fleischer

I've always been fascinated by history.

Ruben Fleischer

The trickiest thing is that a lot of times in 'Venom' comics, they'll reveal part of Eddie, and he'll be like a Venom body with an Eddie head, or he'll do that classic split frame face.

Ruben Fleischer

'The Dark Knight' does such a great job of delivering an intense, action-packed film that didn't pull any punches.

Ruben Fleischer

Venom' is a standalone character who has so much attitude, menace and ferocity. He's also really funny in the comics and in our movie. He's a really compelling guy that can completely stand on his own. When he's played by Tom Hardy, and Eddie Brock is his partner, that relationship is enough for one movie.

Ruben Fleischer

Yeah, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to try different things.

Ruben Fleischer

I read pretty much every 'Venom' comic that exists.

Ruben Fleischer

I work really hard and have rolled up my sleeves for a long time to get the opportunities I've had.

Ruben Fleischer

I've got to give a lot of credit to my cinematographer, Chung-hoon Chung, who is a master and among other things shot 'Old Boy,' which is a very famous single-take fight scene. He's really a true master.

Ruben Fleischer

Venom is such a great character, it will be fun to see who he tangles with along the way.

Ruben Fleischer

I feel like there's a true spirit of individuality in Portland that's inherent to the place.

Ruben Fleischer

He's an American treasure, I would be honored to fight Tom Hanks.

Ruben Fleischer

My first time out of the gate, I made three movies in four years, and they were all very back to back to back.

Ruben Fleischer

With '30 Minutes or Less,' there was a conscious decision on my part to make it a little less stylized. I wanted it to feel like an '80s action movie.

Ruben Fleischer

What's great about 'Spy Hunter' is that we have an amazing title, an awesome car, and a great theme song, and we can use that to launch a new franchise that hopefully will compete with the other ones but just be kind of the more fun, video game version of a spy movie.

Ruben Fleischer

My first job in Hollywood was as a PA in the writers room of 'Dawson's Creek,' and from that early experience on, I've always had an intense appreciation for the energy, creativity and process of making television.
