World War II was the last ‘pure’ war. It was purely heroic. There was someone who tried to conquer the world, who tried to exterminate people. – Morten Tyldum
To me, Turing is as much of a philosopher as he is a mathematician because his ideas deal with what it means to think. – Morten Tyldum
Turing was fearless. He’s extremely direct, which can be seen as socially awkward, and that becomes both his big obstacle but also, in many ways, his strength. – Morten Tyldum
I always felt Harrison Ford looked like he’s about to shoot himself when he’s carrying his own gun. He always looked afraid; he’s not just this tough guy, you know? – Morten Tyldum
You never have any idea where your movie’s going to go when you’re shooting – you’re in this little bubble. – Morten Tyldum
I wanted to make a movie that celebrates the outsider, the one who is different, the one who is not normal – and show how important that is. – Morten Tyldum
For film fans to support ‘The Imitation Game’ means so much to me, the entire cast and film-making team. – Morten Tyldum
I’m from Norway, but I always felt like I’d grown up with British culture. We had everything from the BBC on our TV, so British drama seems very close to home. – Morten Tyldum
I think that the test for taking on a project is to try and list all the reasons not to do it. When you find yourself running out of reasons, and you still have to do it, it’s the right thing to do. – Morten Tyldum
You do not move forward by following convention. You celebrate those who are different, who are not burdened by ‘normality.’ – Morten Tyldum
I hope I can be a filmmaker where every movie will be different, and not make one type of movie. I’m always looking for a character that interests me. – Morten Tyldum
You never know where your next movie is going to come from. You just have to fall in love with something because it’s going to be taking up every moment of spare time in your life for about two years. You’re going to be dreaming about it and thinking about it and becoming obsessed with it. – Morten Tyldum
To do a movie about someone who actually lived gives you two responsibilities. You have to try to be accurate to the facts of what he did and what he was like as a character. Then, at the same time, you have a responsibility to make a movie that entertains and can get an audience. – Morten Tyldum
This is a man who was 23 years old when he theorized the idea of creating a programmable machine, and in that way, Turing foresaw computers and artificial intelligence. These were revolutionary ideas at that time. – Morten Tyldum
When you go to the movies, you expect the movie to create a world that you can immerse yourself in, that you can step into. Sci-fi is a beautiful way of doing that. – Morten Tyldum
Just because someone or something thinks differently than you do, it doesn’t mean that it’s not thinking. – Morten Tyldum
I’m a sci-fi fan, but a lot of the sci-fi you’re getting is the same. It’s very stereotypical. – Morten Tyldum
