Billy Bob and Fran are very well known actors, but aren't the kind of movie stars in the sense that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are.

We create monsters and then we can't control them.

No, we don't have an obsession with kidnapping. We just follow the story wherever it leads us, and if it leads us to kidnapping, well there we are!

You want to keep it fresh and you hopefully can keep doing new stuff that's going to continue to stimulate and keep people interested.

The characters are always the focus of the movie, and we develop them over months and months of talking about them and writing them... .We get them down on paper and then turn them over to the actors who are sometimes exactly the people we had in mind when we were working on them.

It's almost like a genre rule: Don't Open The Box.

We do tend to work with bigger stars now.
