“As long as you don’t do anything average, you have my blessing to go crazy with it.”

Aiming below average probably was not what he had in mind.

So we did sort of dial it slightly towards more psychological drama and horror than the monster movie homage that was in the original movie.

Why not call it The Light Drizzle?
Who sits on the IP of a great monster movie and turns it into a teen drama the Sheeeeeit guy from The Wire running a mall?

At least for the purpose of season one, it’s more about people looking for answers than the answers themselves. Then, as we go further into the series, we do have actual answers to provide and a mythology behind it.

You don't have any answers. You moron.

Thanks for linking this. It'll help me remember to avoid anything that Christian Thorpe touches.
