The original story was actually written all the way back in 1997 by Jay Bonansinga.
Because it’s my book, times 1000.
My book has this, like, droll, dark comedy.
I wrote it in 1994.
I mean, I was beset with, like, the Cohen brothers and Tarantino at the time.
So, I wanted to venture to write that, a literary version of that.
But then this hook just changed everything because it gave it some meat."
But [Director] JJ [Perry] was just so prepared and knew exactly what he needed.
So I’d step in, and he’d teach me the action like that.
We’d knock it out, we’d shoot it, and it was done."
So this was a very hectic schedule, a crazy process.
But yeah, it was kind of filling in the gaps as you went.
It was really rough."
It’s very unique.
I made the cut.
You know, usually like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m a bad guy.
When are they going to off me?
I did a movie with Keanu Reeves, man, I took, like, 1700 bullets.
But this one, they left me alive so we could do it again.
This is what I love."
But this was an opportunity to kind of put my thumbprint on it.
So, I paid attention and really have a go at keep the tone right.
And, you know, you guys will be the judge."
So I think everyone’s going to like it.
It tested really strong with ladies, which I was super excited about.
Don’t expect there to be a deeper meaning hiding behind the bombastic action, however.
There’s no real–I don’t have a political message, my brother.
I just want them to enjoy.
And, you know, big action was extremely important to deliver on.
But we really thought what would sell it is the love story, and there’s a great twist.
So it’s those elements, I think, that make it unique."
So, for me, it was a big step in understanding wow.
But then now it is totally the opposite.
I’m like a lover.
I’m a lover [and] I’m dancing, but I’m killing people…
It opens your eyes to the fact that you’re free to explore so much with the movement.
So that’s kind of what I’ve learned through this process."
