Celebrated
Hollywood
actor
from
the
northern
part
of
Ireland,
Liam
Neeson
says
that
he
finds
JA
Bayona,
the
famous
Hollywood
director
quite
similar
to
the
Oscar-winning
moviemaker
Martin
Scorsese.
Neeson,
who
performs
in
the
JA
Bayona's
directorial
film
titled
"A
Monster
Calls",
states
that
the
director
is
totally
engrossed
in
making
movies.
He
"eats,
sleeps
and
drinks
movies",
said
the
actor
about
Bayona.
"Bayona
is
a
real
cinema
talent.
Occasionally,
you
get
to
work
with
directors
who
are
steeped
in
the
love
of
what
they
do,
and
Bayona
is
one
of
those.
He's
a
walking
film
encyclopedia.
He's
a
bit
like
Martin
Scorsese
in
that
way," Liam
Neeson
said
in
a
statement.
"He's
also
very
sensitive.
He
takes
care
of,
guides,
and
nurtures
his
actors
and
that's
what
I
always
hope
a
director
will
do.
He
allows
you
to
experiment,
so
you
both
can
get
at
the
truth
of
what
a
scene
is
and
he
will
try
for
as
long
as
it
takes.
I
love
working
with
a
director
like
that," said
Neeson
A
Monster
Calls
is
a
movie

falls
in
the
category
of
