When I draw these stories I see the characters moving in my head, so the idea of animating them in some form just came naturally. More important is being able to show Kid Beowulf to as broad an audience as possible; I'll do whatever I can to get someone to pick up the book--a movie trailer seemed liked a good enticement.

The growth of Poker in the United States has been phenomenal, to the point that it no longer surprises fans to see celebrities from film get involved in these events. Obviously, few people expect the movie stars to actually win a tournament like this, but it would be very exciting to see someone like Affleck at the final table playing the likes of Gus Hansen.

It's a romantic comedy, and it's really, really fun. The play actually just uses just a little bit of the material from the movie and kind of makes its own thing.

Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.

The entertainment media is changing. The currency a movie star had was the ability to put people in the seats. They command enormous salaries. But simply having a star in a movie isn't enough. Young audiences don't have the same loyalties and interests that previous generations have. That's why there is so much panic in the industry.

The movie star is past its peak in terms of its power. Which is not to say it's not very powerful, but people are realizing that other forces at work are more powerful, which no one can quite identify yet.

When I took the job it was like walking in a dark room because I had been at Mount Vernon for so long I didn't know anything else. The first day of practice I had three players in the gym, and to end the season like this is like a Hollywood movie.

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie.

There is a sort of creative purity in an independent film, in the passion of the director, the passion of the crew. They're not getting a whole lot of money, so you know they are not there because they want to get rich. Instead, they are there because they want to make a movie. In the bigger films, I remember when I used to do those, it's just a job for a lot of people, so there is less of an intense energy devoted to the whole project.

To render it well, it's not a tiny art film. If you're going to make this movie correctly, the beautiful version, you have to see Japan, you have to see all the beauty that Kyoto has to offer, you have to really experience that world. And that costs money.

Three years ago I had a vision about doing a film that talked about entertainment in Hong Kong - I suggested making a movie about boy bands. And Daniel went, 'Why don't we become a real boy band and we'd experience the whole thing and film it.' That's how we got started.

I actually had to deal with real arms dealers to get the film made, to get all [the] guns needed for the movie. When a guy said 'I can deliver you 50 tanks' one private guy who owned 50 tanks in the Czech republic and 'I'll get them there on Tuesday at 9 a.m.,' sure enough, there they are all [were] perfectly lined up.

You end up using your own instincts. You end up having the guts to do what you should have done all along. After a while, we needed to give (the movie) back our voice. We went too far in listening to every single thing (Disney) told us to do.

We thought that instead of taking this to Hollywood, how about taking Hollywood to the churches? When we looked at the technology, you can have a great screening with digital projectors and surround sound. You don't need a movie theater. So we started asking people and screening the movie for pastors, and after they saw it and wiped away a tear, they said they would love to show it to their congregations.

On one hand it is truly independent cinema. We were just a couple of interested people who decided to make a movie. On the other, the style of the film is not bland; it's not just another movie.

We were trying to make a movie that was funny, but also trying to be smart about being funny. We just wanted to make people laugh,. If you want to make a comedy you just don't want to hit people in the groin for two hours, even though that's really funny too. We wanted our jokes to have a little weight to them.
