"IT'S AN easy thing to be a director," John Landis told an audience at the Hasty Pudding Theater last Saturday. "There are no rules."
Landis said that he is more popular in Europe than in the United States. "In France and Spain, I'm a great artist. Here I'm a putz," he said.
Landis said he knew he wanted to be a director since he was eight years old. "I saw `Sinbad' and asked my mom, `Who did that?' and she said, `The director.'"
Landis was asked if the producers of his movies interfere with his directing. "It depends," he said. "Especially after `Twilight Zone,' I control my own movies."
Several students asked Landis about how to get into professional moviemaking. "It has a lot to do with luck and chutzpah and determination," he said. "Basically, make a movie."
