Stars do not always understand what we [directors] behind the scenes are thinking of. However this was constantly my strategy. From the start, I pitched that the very first movie would be a ‘Romancing The Stone’- type thing– an action-adventure romantic funny– while the 2nd would be a straight-out pal funny. I wished to do ‘Tango & & Money!'”
