He began by talking about who will be directing the film, Dave Yarovesky, saying he “elevated the material so much stories at nightfall (Nightbooks, a horror film for children, available on Netflix) which was our first choice. The script was so good that we managed to get interested Anthony Hopkins, who for my generation is basically the greatest actor of all time“, he continued.
“Glen’s character has a soul that slowly reveals itself as the film progresses,” Raimi continued. It seems like he’s just a thief, someone who doesn’t care about others, but as the story unfolds, you realize that he has a wife and child that he loves and has been wronged, and all this experience makes you it gives an opportunity to reflect on how you treated them and how you lived your life in relation to them.
