Seth Meyers and I wrote a 'Spider-Man' comic.
I always feel the most validated and confident being around people that I find funny - having Fred Armisen laugh at a scene or Bill Hader or Seth Meyers give me a compliment.
If you look at all the vampires in the past, they were sort of decrepit old men. Stephanie Meyers just made it for a new audience. All the vampires are now young men and she describes them as not being ugly.
I've had a dozen novels published and have made far more than a dozen mistakes. Which is why Randy Susan Meyers and I wrote a guidebook to help authors avoid making our mistakes.
I didn't have a lot of men to ask questions of when I was starting out. There were two female directors people suggested I talk to when I was starting out, and they were Nancy Meyers and Kathryn Bigelow.
The idea of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula, all I could think of was, why haven't they done this with him before? It's such a genius idea. 'Dracula' has always been done as film, so it's been an hour and 40 minutes. What we're done is 10 hours of 'Dracula,' so you have a lot of freedom with all the different mythologies and nuances.
Charlie Frost: You'd have to keep a thing like this underwraps. I mean, just think about it, okay? First, the stock market would go. Then the economy, boom! The dollar, boom! And then pandemonium in the streets. War, genocide, ba-ba-ba-ba, boom, boom, boom!
Jackson Curtis: Bullshit. Nobody could keep that big a secret, Charlie. Somebody would blow the
whistle.
Charlie Frost: And every once in a while, some poor little sucker tries. Well, like these guys, boom, boom!
[pulls down a screen of posted obituaries]
Charlie Frost: Every one of these guys, dead, dead, dead.
Jackson Curtis: [notices one of them] Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's Professor Meyers.
Charlie
Frost: He ran the Atlantis shuttle program. Why, did you know him?
Jackson Curtis: Yeah, he helped me with research on my book.
Charlie Frost: Well, that must have been before this "accident."
Jackson Curtis: Meyers is dead?
Charlie Frost: Oh, two months ago. He was one of my most avid
listeners and he had it all figured out. Everything the government was doing, where and why... He even sent me a map.
Jackson Curtis: A map for what Charlie? What's the map for?
Charlie Frost: They're building spaceships, man.
Jackson Curtis: Shit, man, I have to go because I gotta get back to Earth.
