I want people painting, building, hammering, plastering. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Q: You shot this on massive sets and used a lot of practical effects instead of CGI. Why did you make that decision?

A: It’s extremely important for me to keep the reality of film craft alive. I want real sets. I don’t want digital. I don’t want AI. I don’t want simulation. I want old fashioned craftsmanship. I want people painting, building, hammering, plastering. I go in and paint props myself. I supervise the construction of the sets. There is an operatic beauty when you build everything by hand. You feel that you being swept along by the work of hundreds of people.
