The Pitch Review

DIRECTOR: I don't want to argue about it. It will not as bloody as "Kill Bill," but I want a dark, Matrix-esque color pallet. Color is important - especially for this philosophical commentary on what it is to be a person. I want this done with a dark, moody elegance.
PRODUCER: Is that possible? To make the base human condition "elegant?"
DIRECTOR: It will be once this is made. It's all filmed on a train, so we'll be creative with the space. The set crew will have to be get inventive. And the action choreographer will have their work cut out! People are violent, and this story has plenty of chances to paint that image in the audience's mind. We will take that opportunity.  It'll be interesting.

PRODUCER: Interesting, yes, as long the audience is open to this oddly told story. Hey, at least the story moves forward the whole time.  I appreciate that.  And the subtitles, so selectively used, oddly appropriate. It fits in perfectly. I like it - especially with this cast.  This cast really communicates the script's Apocalyptic character possibilities. Quite a spread, here. I wonder which one I'd behave like?

DIRECTOR: You never know. Maybe you'd be the bad guy. With odd elegance.

PRODUCER: Shut up, director.
