I Try To Cast Really Good Actors

I Really Think That Everybody Would Like To Be An Actor. Why Wouldn't They? It's Great Work If You Can Get It. The One Thing That Prevents Most People From Saying, 'i'm Just Gonna Go To Hollywood!' Is That It Seems Unrealistic.

Clearly, There's A Real Onus On You To Do Something Correctly When Everybody, At Least In The United States, Had A Really Clear, Specific Idea Of What This Guy Looked Like - And Even More So, What He Looked Like As Clark Kent And As Superman. You Have This Whole Vast Audience Of People Who Would Be Acutely Aware Of Any Deviation Whatsoever And Probably Holding You To A Slightly Higher Standard As A Result.

Affleck Was The Bomb In Phantoms.

We Wanted To Show People What It Was Like In One Of Those Neighbourhoods That They Would Never Have Access To, In Bars That They Would Be Too Scared To Go Into, And A World That They Would Never Get To See. All Of That Is Something Really Unusual And Rare And Kind Of Fascinating. And The Only Way To Do That And To Make It Really Worthwhile Was That It Had To Be Authentic. We Dedicated A Lot Of Time And Energy To Making That Right And Real. So We Found Basically The Worst Locations That We Could.

There's A Lot Of Noise In The World, And The Internet Magnifies That Energy.
