David Goyer Quotes
«As a viewer, (I) like shows like that. I like shows that have a breadth to them and that you can pick apart and watch again and again. I think that's fun.»
Author: David Goyer
«I don't think four science- fiction shows are going to survive, but a couple probably will.»
Author: David Goyer
«I had to immediately start preproduction on that, so I had to find a replacement really fast. And one of the things that we liked was that people had seen the first hour and thought it had more of a cinematic quality, so we thought we have to find a feature director to do the second hour. Who's available?»
Author: David Goyer
«I find out Peter Hyams was available, so I just called him and said, 'Can you help us out?' He said OK.»

«We would love for him to come back. He did a great job. He's a really sweet guy, and he had a great experience as well. We would love for him to do more.»

«[Braga (Star Trek: Enterprise) and David S. Goyer (Blade: Trinity) were frank about the trend toward genre TV in the wake of last season's hit show Lost.] There's [no] question that all ... of these shows probably won't survive, ... But I remember when ER and Chicago Hope both debuted, everybody was all, 'Oh, they're not [going to make it]. But they both [did]. ER [lasted] longer, but they both lasted for a long time. Two of [the new SF series] might survive, or maybe only one of them will survive. But I do think it's interesting. I mean, I've seen [Invasion and Surface]. I don't know if you guys have, but they're all really different. So it's kind of funny. I mean, they're all nominally science fiction shows that are dealing with aliens, but Invasion's very much small town, kind of Bodysnatchers. Surface is like The Abyss, kind of. And then ours is this weird kind of X-files-y [show], but also Twin Peaks-y.»

«It's also one of the ways we're going to talk about [how] the aliens might even communicate or be communicating, ... One of the things we're trying to do with the whole first season is ... Molly and her red team of the threshold people are scrambling to try and find out what's going on and may frequently be wrong about what's going on, because it's not like the aliens just come down and say, 'Well, we're going to be doing this. We're going to be doing this.' A lot of what we're trying to do is posit the aliens as genuinely alien, so that even struggling to communicate with them is really difficult. And because our show is going to be a slow rollout, it's going to be a while before there's even any really secondary communication with them.»

«What recently happened in London, what's going on in Iraq and the West Bank -- people are scared. Historically, when people have been scared and people have been nervous, there's been an uptick in science fantasy horror. It happened in the '50s with the Red Scare and the space race. . . . You're telling allegorical tales and shining a light back on society. . . . It's a way to talk about what's going on, but from a sideways angle.»
Author: David Goyer
«There have been lots of great shows that have complicated mythologies. It didn't seem to hurt The X-Files, and it doesn't seem to be hurting Lost.»
