...One thing he definitely trumps you on - that head of hair. That was the reasoning behind shaving my head. Straight away we separated ourselves [from the original]. I've been mocked for that on blogs, but his tresses are an iconic image. So I went the opposite way and made it a bit more modern. Someone told me that they didn't have buzz cuts in those days. And I said, "Well, they didn't have winged horses either. It's a movie...
...nearly enough of the campy talking owl Bubo from the original in this Clash. He makes an appearance here. But he was sort of like R2-D2 in the original one. You have to be careful with those little nods to the [original] audience. My nephew ain't going to get that. Mads Mikkelsen [(Draco)] didn't even get it. He didn't see the original, so he didn't know what...
...one other item: Avatar demonstrated that 3-D could bring studios gigantic bundles of cash.

(Watch TIME's video about how Monsters vs Aliens was created...
...conversions in the immediate works - the number of new 3-D movies should be 19. Ten of these are animated features (beginning with Dragon and ending in December with Yogi Bear); four are extensions of B-movie franchises (Step Up 3D, Piranha 3-D, Jackass 3D and Saw VII); one is another concert film (Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D.) Two Disney films, Alice in Wonderland and Tron Legacy, are a mix of live action and digital fantasy. That leaves just two live-action movies - the Warner Bros. adventures Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part...
