At one point in time, Pixar was like Locksmith. It was a small studio with a team of creatives who just wanted to tell the best stories they could. As the years went on, Pixar became the behemoth it is today, and Locksmith could very well follow in those footsteps. There's certainly enough talent and drive to push it to that territory.
When speaking about the differences between Locksmith and Pixar, Vine pointed out how Pixar has a ton of tools at its disposal these days. From a brain trust to extensive screening, Pixar has the power to ensure every moment of its movies is perfection. He then explained, "We were just this little startup in a weird little studio in London trying to do the same smart storytelling choices, but having to trust our guts a bit more, I think."
It may have been a smaller operation, but Rodriguez was quick to point out they had a definite leg-up over other start-ups. As he stated, "We were very fortunate to, with Sarah [Smith] and Julie [Lockhart] and Elisabeth [Murdoch], bring such amazing talent with us, for us, for like our first time making this movie ... So even as a startup, we had so much potential. We had Nathan Crowley came on and for designing as well and Aurélien Predal. So yeah, we were very lucky." With so much talent bursting at the seams, it's exciting to think of what Locksmith could accomplish next.
"Ron's Gone Wrong" is playing exclusively in theaters now.
