John Carpenter on this subject when we interviewed him last year:

Returning cast members.

Also good in Thief and effectively used in his brief appearance in The Ghost Writer. My running theory is that a lot of crappy comedy leads are actually fine character actors who got a big break and went with it.

He didn't have a thing against covers (and he loved playing other people's songs in concert), but believed they should only be done live.

Care to explain?

The super-cheap Insignia players that retailed for under $30 at Best Buy in the mid-2000s could be set to "region free" by hitting a secret combination on the remote.

From Bill Murray: "The guy wears platform shoes when he’s working. He can’t talk for 16 seconds without going into a rant.

"Go" samples "Laura Palmer's Theme," and I believe "The Chauffeur" is one of Lynch's favorite songs.

Not mentioned in Deadline's article, but this originally supposed to star Tom Hardy and would have been Takashi Miike's English-language debut. They both dropped out of the project a couple of years ago.

It's one reason why those who actually had direct contact with the Soviet usually ended up intensely disillusioned, or, in the case of someone…

We did kvas, but it didn't make the final cut. We might put it up as an extra somewhere.
