Personal Quote:

[on undertaking Le monde fantastique d'Oz (2013)] I didn't want anything to do with it. I really had so much respect for the original movie that I didn't want to even read it. [But later] I actually fell in love with the characters in the story and I realized this does not dishonour the original 'Wizard of Oz' movie. It's a love note to the works of Baum. See more »
