the director of "In the Name of the King"
(June 2007)
We’re very excited that
“In the Name of the King” (ITNOTK) has been making the festival rounds and
will be coming out in theaters early next year. Are you still on for Jan 2008
in the US?
absolutly and germany already november 29
We’ve heard that there will be two versions of this movie. What will the
difference be? Will both be available on DVD?
abolsutly . the theatrical version will be 2 hours 10 minutes . the dvd almost 3 hours
Like many of your other movies, ITNOTK is based on a computer game. How
would you describe the adaptation? Do you follow the game story fairly
closely or do you add new elements?
DUNGEON SIEGE has non real story as a game. But GAS POWER GAMES , Chris Taylor loves the movie
How about Leelee, what was she like? As an actor, as a person?
she is a great actor ..easy to work with.... full of talent ...and she can tell you really dirty jokes
We’ve heard she’s interested in getting into directing, scriptwriting. Did you
two ever talk about it? And what do you think, does she show some talent in
that direction?
as a good actor you have a feeling how to handle other actors. if she would direct i would see that movie...
Could you tell us about any interesting, funny or
weird things happened with Leelee during the filming of the movie?
The shoot went smooth and great
The movie has a really impressive cast of very well known actors and
actresses. What was the shoot like? Did everybody get into it or did they
spend a lot of times in their trailers?
they were all a big group of friends ...hanging out on set ..the shoot was an adventure and nobody got perks
One last question. People who've previewed it are saying that ITNOTK is your
best movie yet. Do you agree? How do you see your films evolving as you go from
one to the next?
POSTAL and KING are both super movies. Also SEED is strong
Thanks again for talking with us, and best of look with ITNOTK and all your
other upcoming projects.
