David Koepp

It's great action filmmaking.

The traditional end of that scene is the release of They Escaped.

Oh, thank goodness.

But there's another scene that follows it, which is an incredibly emotional scene in the boxcar.

And that's Stephen, the early drafts of the script didn't have that scene.

And he said, but this is the most frightening thing that's ever happened to them in their entire lives.

There would be emotional fallout.

Can we see that?

And that's just being attuned to character.

Yeah, emotionally violent inside, but there are people working together to try to resolve those feelings.

He makes a fair point.

We have not traditionally done well with sudden, dramatic cultural change.

Well, you have to do your honest best to understand their point of view and to actually believe it.

We did an interesting process on this script where there were five main characters.

And at one point, we did a draft solely from the point of view of that character.

I'm not saying we rewrote the entire script so it's only them, but thinking about every scene and every moment only from their point of view.

And that really helps you strengthen their arguments.

I think Colin's character is quite right.

about most of what he says.

He goes too far.
