As the installments in the 'Immortals After Dark' series span simultaneous timelines, making sure the details remained accurate was a hair-raising/losing exercise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Immortals' was very much a martial arts based training program - a lot of body weight stuff, very little in the way of actually lifting heavy weights, and a very, very low calorie diet.
I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.
I am strongly of the opinion that chronology is very important. The great arc of time is what children are wired for.
Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.
The nice thing about a series is you can end on cliffhangers all the time. You can be like, 'You know what? Here we go, this person just died, end of book.' And with the end of the series, you're very conscious of all the plotlines that were left hanging. There's a balance there to wrap those up but still leave it exciting.
If you make a trilogy, the whole point is to get to that third chapter, and the third chapter is what justifies what's come before.
The original 'Edge of Darkness' was fantastic, a fabulous series. It was of its time, but this film version shows that times really haven't changed.
I found it a little bit stressful, because I wasn't used to working with Doctor Who. I got the impression I'd walked into the end of seven years and it was all a bit tense.
I'm something of a history buff. It's deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.
When you're writing about superpowers, you're writing about power. When you're writing about immortals, you're writing about mortality.
