A Quote by 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 haven't done a movie without a member of the original cast of 'Zombieland' - they've all been in every movie I've done.
I have thought about Happy Days made into a movie. As far as the original cast not being a part of it, wow, I don't know who could be who!I just don't see it going in that direction. I can see the original cast doing the movie very easily though.

Some time after 'Gangster Squad,' after I'd made a couple other movies, I was like, 'In retrospect that 'Zombieland' experience was about as good as it can get, both between the cast and the world of the movie and the way it was received.' I was like, 'We should probably do another 'Zombieland.'
I put in all the dirty words. It works really well. The thing that we found with 'Drive Angry,' more than anything else is that we wrote the movie that we wanted to see. I've done that before. I've wanted to see 'Jason X'. It did not become the movie that I thought it would be. That happens. It's happened with every movie I've ever done.
Every movie I've done, when they cast me, they knew I'd probably do it for a toffee apple and a Frappuccino.
When you're done shooting, the movie that you're going to release when you're done shooting is as bad as it will ever be. And then through editing, and finishing the effects and adding music, you get to make the movie better again. So I'm really hard on myself and on the movie.
I've been the movie business for over 50 years, and I've done everything imaginable that could be done or ever was done by anybody.
I've always been against trying to make a movie like another movie. That's lame. It's already been done, so why do it again?
I've had stuff of mine adapted by other people, so I've come to the conclusion that a movie is a different form from a novel and there is no such thing as a true adaptation. You have to adapt to this other thing and do it right. But that voice of the original should somehow still be there, and the original intent should still be there. So if the original writer saw the movie, the writer would say, "Well, that's not what I wrote, but that's what I meant." And if you can do that, I think you've done your job as a screenwriter.
I don't expect every movie to be done exactly the way I would have done it.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.

That 'Zombieland' thing was pretty great. I think I didn't realize just how lucky I was after that first movie, to have something so special and to have a cast that's so special.
There is some pleasure in doing a movie and problem solving on a specific movie and getting a movie made, but once they are done, we don't look at them again, much less relate one to another.
I have this problem with violence. I've only done one movie in almost 20 years where I killed people. It's called Perdita Durango. It's a Spanish movie. I'm very proud of the movie, but I felt weird doing that.
I've done every job in the world, and movies, the only thing close to a movie that I've ever done is it's kind of like being in a band.
