I hope in my career I get to do every kind of movie. When I did Huck Finn, I got all those Disney kid scripts. When I did Jungle Book, then I got all the animal scripts. Now I do a couple Mummy movies and it's like, 'Oh, he does monsters.
More Quotes from Stephen Sommers:
I love all of mythology and rules pertaining to all of the monsters, but I like to go the extra step.Stephen Sommers
No one is going to think going into this movie that they are going to come out loving Frankenstein, and not in a cheap of cheesy way at all - he's really an angry, vicious guy - a beast. But when you think of the originals, they were scary melodramas. The characters were so deep. I always felt as badly for Frankenstein as I did for his victims because, like Lenny in Steinbeck's 'Mice and Men,' he's a man-child. I've always found that fascinating.

I think Frankenstein and The Mummy were my favorites. The Mummy was the only one that really scared the hell out of me. I loved Frankenstein as a kid, but I always felt sorry for him. I liked Dracula a lot, but it wasn't one of my favorites. I even liked The Wolfman a little better than Dracula. Dracula was too remote for me, or something.
Stephen Sommers
I never want to write something until I know every scene in the movie. I don't want someone hiring me and then me not being able to write it. Which is always a fear. So I like to figure it out, know all the characters, and know almost every scene in the movie before I start writing.
