I know that it’s axiomatic in the film industry that you’re not supposed to let the novelist develop their own story. Well, first of all, that’s kind of up to the novelist – because they don’t have to sell it. But also, I don’t believe it. It’s about trust.
When I entered the film industry, I hadn’t dreamt that I would work in so many movies and opposite so many reigning and future heroes.
