'Scary Movie' has lost its way as a franchise. It has turned into 'Disaster Film' and 'Epic Movie' and 'Date Movie' and that isn't what I wanted. I wanted to do a movie that was just grounded in a reality that went to crazy places.
The solution of the Palestinian–Israeli conflict will only be achieved through a peace agreement and not through military power, for violence, sporadic individual solutions, imposition of the policy of accomplished facts on the ground will only per...
