VIDEO: Ruben Fleischer Explains Why He Passed on Mission: Impossible 4 for 30 Minutes or Less

After scoring a critical and commercial hit with his directorial debut, 2009’s Zombieland , director Ruben Fleischer decided to make the relatively humble crime comedy 30 Minutes or Less (in theaters Friday) as his follow-up, rather than take on some huge Hollywood work-for-hire gig like Mission: Impossible 4 , which he was once in the running to direct.

UFC Undisputed 2010 NYC Debut Party Interview

THQ definitely has their work cut out for them with UFC Undisputed 2010 . Following up a critical and commercial hit like UFC 2009 Undisputed is certainly nothing to take lightly, and as producer Neven Dravinski told X-Play during the game’s recent debut party in New York City, this year is about taking what worked from the last game, building on that, and then, hopefully, “killing it.” “Across the board, you know. We looked at everything that was a complaint, everything that was an issue that we felt, and looked at ways to address it…We did a lot of things we didn’t necessarily have to do; we did things that we wanted to. Even though it is a ‘sequel title,’ we certainly don’t feel it carries the stigma of a sequel title. We really wanted to make the most compelling experience, and give it to our fans.”” Watch Larger Version | Watch HD Version
