I tend to shoot really quick so you don't get the problems you might get on a traditional film where you shoot one way, then another, and it's pissing down with rain and they won't cut together.

One man's weather is another man's production value. To create the sleet would cost a fortune but we got it for free so we'll just have to go with it.

If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things. - Ben Wheatley
