Adult fantasy gets a bad name. You think of Xena - Warrior Princess. If you don't do it expensively, it becomes tacky and you end up just appealing to 45-year-old single men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I started in the business, there was a thing called adult fantasy, but nobody quite knew what it was, and most publishers didn't have an adult fantasy list. They had science fiction lists, which they stuck a little bit of fantasy into.
My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.
I think every major character I've played was originally for an older woman. I have no idea what that says. I guess I'm mature for my age.
People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.
Developers need to start moving away from the entitled macho-male power fantasy in their games. They need to recognize that there are wider stories that they can tell.
Adult characters are all the things they've encountered over time. But kids haven't accumulated all the life experience, all the regrets. They tend to be more in the moment, more willing to play, to be joyful.
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.
I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
Fantasy is a demanding genre.
Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.
