I was halfway through doing this animated show called Creature Commandos.
And so like in a space of, I had to get into Superman first.
So my second call after, right before the job was announced,
was to John Cena saying, I'm going to do Peacemaker, but I just have to hold a B because I got to get Superman right.
And so, yeah, in a year I wrote 650 pages of material.
And then the next year I produced and directed 650 pages of material.
And this year we're releasing 650 pages of material.
But I get up pretty, I don't get up that early.
I stay up late, but my times fluctuate wildly.
So like when I'm writing, I try to have as little schedule as possible because it's just the writing's in my brain all the time.
So during that 650 pages, when I'm just writing out of pure panic in a lot of ways, but then when I get to the page, it's working, you know?
And then I step outside of the page and I'm terrified, step back into the page and it's working, step outside of the page and I'm terrified.
And so I just had to keep writing and writing and writing.
And that was going on constantly, you know, and I that was actually the busiest time was the writing of it, because, you know, when you're shooting, it's much more structured.
And then I have to go into post-production and all that stuff.
