The beauty of the world of Unbreakable is that you're playing it for reality. It should never feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a straight-up drama. It's real. You're confronting the possibility that comic book characters were based on people that were real.

The whole world makes comic book movies now.

There are scenes that were right on the edge, but I always try to err on non-indulgence. It's something that I'm very careful about, that I'm just leaning too hard into something.

A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well.

I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.

People who come to see my movies, you're coming to see a drama masquerading as a genre piece.
