• I'm kind of a scaredy cat - I don't watch a ton of them. I mean, I started reaching this script at night and had to wait until the next morning to finish it so it would be light out. It really scared me. The scary movies I like are The Others and Pan's Labyrinth - they're so scary but they're about real things, and hopefully this is too.

• Our lives are pretty calm. Merging on the freeway in the closest you get to risking your life.

They give you the chance to feel this very primal emotion in a very controlled environment.
