He had found the band of jackals he needed. But as Jack McCall rode through the center of town, he experienced the terrifying certainty that a man faces when he's about to make his own name famous. He lacked both a hero's calm and a coward's resolve to survive at any price.

I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.

I think action movies on the whole have moved more and more into large spectacle, even leaving out super hero movies that seem to me to be more a fantastic science fiction than they are action movies.

I'm not even against superheroes. It's not my cup of tea. But there's just this endless stream of them and they are so repetitious and suspend certain rules in a way that I don't find dramatically helpful. The imperviousness can be too much.

Action movies to me are dramas with recognizable human beings that are in extraordinary situations.

The graphic novel form really interests me and I like the freedom that format offers.

I always loved comic books and I'm still a great fan of the graphic novel.
