It's easy to get caught up in a moment and think, 'oh, i've been offered some giant studio film or a superhero franchise or some actor wants to meet with me about a project they want to do.' and it's easy to get caught up in a moment because it's flattering. but you can't do a movie because it's flattering.

More From Jason Reitman

After the first one [twilight saga movie], as soon as people start referring to something as a franchise. a franchise is a burger king or a subway. it's not a movie. the people who start to say it are generally the people who are making money off of it. that's how they refer to it. they love it when something has become a franchise. but, as an actor, i think it's scary.

I think what kind of destroyed the franchise, in some ways, was ego and vanity. when that element of ego and vanity that's sitting there in the franchise right now gets pushed aside, i think the whole thing could be re-tooled. i think it's the type of franchise that has years in it, and has lots of legs.
Thinking Years Vanity
I don't know when the last time was that steven spielberg or george lucas made a movie with universal, but i can tell you that universal is leading the charge. they're looking at film differently. they're planning ahead in a way that i've never seen a studio do before. they're believing in a relationship between fan and film franchise, in a new way. they're more receptive to an audience, in part because of social media, in a way we've never been allowed.

I dont know if there is anyone who wouldnt want to play some kind of superhero. i dont know if the world is getting sick of superhero movies or not, but i think you will endlessly have actors who are intrigued by the idea of playing a superhero.
Thinking Play Ideas
All i've learned is that you need the studio system sometimes, if your budget is a certain size, and other films you can do independently. when i think of a studio, i generally think of distribution. since i'm a director, i have a similar creative experience on every film i do, because i can control that. but then it's a different film, i think, as it reaches the public, depending on the way it's marketed. i don't know. i haven't learned much of anything. sometimes you need them, sometimes you don't. sometimes they want you, most of the time they don't.
