I loved Sucker Punch. I don’t care who knows it. I also don’t care that it currently has a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s pretty much all I have to say about it before it actually releases, ’cause I know I’m going to get all analytical on it and don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. So in the meantime, here’s the interview I did with Steve Shibuya, who wrote the screenplay with director Zack Snyder.
It doesn’t surprise me that Limitless was number one this weekend — I thought it was a pretty solid flick, from the writing to the directing to the acting. That said, as much as I enjoyed it, I wanted it to go further. But it definitely excites me that movies are digging into this kind of content now. And I feel pretty lucky to have interviewed director Neil Burger about his creative process. The piece ran on AOL last Friday, and alas, I wasn’t able to use all of his quotes — I only have so much room for each week. But there were some fun bits that I had to edit out and some insights he offered that I thought were interesting, so I figured I’d publish them here.
