wound up being a limited series. I think it would’ve suffered as a movie., the writer-creator, had a lot more time to tell a more nuanced, specific story because of the format. If you try to squeeze what we did in a 90-minute movie, it would’ve been tedious. It’s weird: You think everybody thinks you’ve got to make things shorter because people’s attention spans are so short and you only get so much time.
I know there’s two sides to every story, and I might not have all the facts so I shouldn’t have too strong an opinion about it, but when [director, first of all, I was just confused. I was like, Didn’t I die at the end of? Am I, like, a zombie or what’s going on?” And I confessed to Andy, I’ve really got to get Zack’s blessing to do this. I’m not going to feel comfortable unless he says he understands. but Zack gave me that blessing and I went and did it. I wasn’t there very long.
