Jack Giroux of moviepilot.com sat down to talk with Francis Lawrence about his career.


JG: Do you ever feel like saying, “It’s a movie,”?
FL: Yeah, all the time. By the way, it is an adaptation, so things have to change sometimes.
JG: Even though Water for Elephants is different for you, it has a theme that’s been a part of all your films; isolation. What draws you to that theme?
FL: I think the idea of movies which are centered around single people are interesting to me, and being specific with that point-of-view is what makes for the eyes of the audience, carrying them through whatever the world and narrative is.
