Well, the real situation is that everything's great. Sony bought the film right after the Cannes Film Festival and there was some old quote that was taken out-of-context and made in passing about how there was something bad happening with the film, and quoted as being recent news. But actually everything is great. I'm almost done with my final cut of the film. It looks like they're setting a release date and we're going to have a great release for the film. I'm actually incredibly happy to have had the extra time, breathing room, to finish it. You know, it's been a long haul with this movie and so the film is in the best possible shape I think it's ever been in, and I think it's been like a Rubix cube, and I just needed time to solve it, and I've definitely solved it. Just exciting to finally show a trailer to people, just get the concept of the film out there, have them advertise and market it. It couldn't be better, I couldn't be happier. I think I've been fortunate to finally land at a big studio and have them kind of take me in and say "we believe in this film, and we're going to let you finish it" and so... keeping my fingers crossed. You never know until that weekend, but so far it's been amazing so, yeah, that article was, unfortunately, not accurate. It was old information and old out-of-context information. It's all good.

If you like the comic books, the second one comes out in about a week, it's the movie. It absolutely is the movie. If you want to have the six-part experience, it begins with the book and then continues into the film. It's a six-part story so if you like the books you'll absolutely, I hope, love the film. It's a set-up that delivers you right into the film.

Well, listen, if there is, that's fine. I'm just lucky to be able to do this and I have nothing to complain about. I think if anyone has any expectation it's a good thing, because to even have people aware of your film is an honor and I'm glad there isn't some deafening silence. The fact that people are excited, if they are excited, is great and I know that in the end it's going to live up to expectations. I think the graphic novels will prime people's appetities for exactly what the film is and the kind of film that it is so I think people who are really fans of "Donnie Darko"... I tried to do these graphic novels as a way to really whet their appetite for the kind of film that it is. So hopefully that will set the story in motion for the people who are ready to experience it and then when the movie is marketed and put out there, whether they read the graphic novels or not, the dialogue will be in place about the kind of film that it is. I'm lucky to be able to do this so I've got nothing to complain about.
