I totally agree. It seems like a strong key to reducing costs and placing resources in creating a striking environment that hooks the eye, all built around a beautiful screenplay and commitment to craft. I remember seeing the trailer for 'Killing Them Softly" and being drawn in far more by Dominik's visual poetry (HUGE fan of 'Chopper') and by the pulp crime genre - Brad Pitt was a nice bonus.

I'd like to see the return to prominence of the $10-15m action movie - The Warriors, Dirty Harry, Death Wish, etc.. I think you're pretty much single-handedly making it happen, and you have my appreciation and respect. As a filmmaker I really hope our paths cross some day! Congrats, and all the future success!

I really feel you made three of the best films of 2012 in Dredd, Killing Them Softly and The Grey. All of them were stunning new takes on old genres, do you think in the current environment that genre and concept can be a stronger selling point than star casting?
