I mean, it’s a movie I’ve been wanting to do for 50 years, since I saw the first Frankenstein. I had an epiphany, and it’s basically a movie that required a lot of growth and a lot of tools that I couldn’t have done 10 years ago, 20 years ago. Now I’m brave or crazy enough or something, and we’re going to tackle it. It’s Oscar Isaac, Andrew Garfield, Christoph Waltz, Mia Goth, and we’re working on it.”
