We're up what's going on man. How are you? I'm good. Welcome aboard. Thank you for being here.

No, thanks for having me. My pleasure. You made two of my all-time favorite movies.

The Watchman, which I fucking love in 300.

Okay, awesome.

I have like a top 20 list.

I've like a top 20 list. I've never like formally put together a top 20 list,

but those are in there.

Oh, that's cool.

Well, first of all, I appreciate that because, you know, 300 was a complete labor of love and an

insane, like, you know, 300 was was I was a Frank Miller fan for a long time right and I I thought the I thought I would do another I thought I would do dark night returns frankly that was the movie I wanted I still want to do it I always tell everyone like Dark Night Returns if I could do Dark Night Returns I'd be done with comic book movies really well because like if you've done watchman oh sorry sorry I'm banging the mic, if you do watchman and

dark night returns like for me your good your legacy is set so like Batman versus Superman literally steals a lot of dark night returns. I'm not

going to say it didn't. It did. But it's still not dark night returns. So I think that's

still out there but I always you know for a long time I had that I had 300 like on my coffee table at my house when I was making TV commercials you know and I'd have my friends over

I'd be like I'm gonna make this one day it's gonna look exactly like this comic

book and they'd be like yeah yeah sure it is and yeah I was having a general meeting with Giannaure who was one of the producers and he was asking me about what I like and he had that graphic novel in his office like on his table and I went well okay you know what if I

could do anything that book right there I would make that and he goes well what do you

mean how would you make it and I literally just open it up and I go we'd make

we'd film this we'd film these pictures would look like this and he goes okay that's

cool like so you're saying you would just shoot the movie and it would look like this graphic novel.
