You Look For Inspiration, I Do, That

I've Spent Enough Time With Soldiers To Know That Once They Get To Know You And They Loosen Up And Become Themselves, They Are Some Of The Biggest Hams And Most Charismatic, Cocky, Fun, Humorous Guys I've Ever Met.

You Look For Inspiration, I Do, That Got Me Going.

The First Movie I Literally Ever Made In My Life Was About Two Guys Playing Stratego With Each Other. I Had All My Friends Dressing Up Like The Military Characters In The Game. So 'battleship' Is Really My Second Board Game Turned Movie!

I'm Pretty Upfront About My Love And Admiration For The Military. One Of The Perks Of Making Movies Is That You Get To Sort Of Follow Your Own Passions, And I Believe Quite Passionately That We Don't Pay Enough Attention And Respect To Our Veterans. Not Just Our Wounded Veterans, But All Veterans.

Truth Is, We Offered It To Tom Hanks, Which Pretty Much Every Movie In America Does, But Tom Passed. Billy Bob Said That Hanks Recently Called And Said He's Voting For All Of Us For Oscars, He Loved The Film.
