the Joe Rogan experience do you um do you anticipate writing with new
characters are you gonna keep Jack Reese like how are you gonna do this yeah so
James Reese yeah for this why is Jack Jack is John sometimes sometimes why so
John F Kennedy Jack you know that sort of thing yep no it's easy to do and then
you have Jack Reacher character you have Jack Ryan you know it was really John
Ryan from the Clancy stuff so so it's uh yeah James Reese the main character
former Navy SEAL sniper background similar to mine but right now it's so hard
to get an audience to connect with your character and I didn't even think about
that as I started but since that's happened since he is resonating with
people and the stories are resonating with people that I think I'm gonna
continue on with the same character the same storyline building on it building
along his journey because we're all in this journey and people can relate to
that as well to transitions and move different struggles and all that so I'm
gonna continue with this character for as long as people want to continue to
read
about him so do you feel like you just hit gold so you're you're in a nice
fucking
vein of gold in this map you might as well just keep running I think so I mean
you
could I heard a story like my from my editor and she has another another author
that that had to come to the same thing like people resident his character was
resonating and he said I think I'm gonna do something different and she's like
what no you're not no you know rare this is so like JK Rawlings she had this
amazing
success with Harry Potter and then she wrote another book and you know I mean I'm
sure it's probably pretty successful just because she's JK Rawlings and
everybody loves her but I haven't heard shit about it no sometimes it's hard to
move
over what's the new book about magic no maybe not I don't know I feel like I
knew something I
couldn't tell you what it is I have no idea I'm sure it's sold a million copies
because
everything she does yeah yeah you get you know so we all know Harry Potter like
that
is part of the culture now yeah it is it is that is a part of the culture but
but
yeah I'm continuing on continue on with this for a while but I'll do other
projects as well like I learned a ton working on these scripts and I didn't
know
anything about screenwriting going into it and the screenwriter David Agilio
awesome guy
out there in LA he really just kind of mentored me along and we worked on these
things together and I got to advise on each of them so I got to see how that
process went got to see what it looks like when you bring a writer's room in
that I knew you have experience with and now you have 15 people and they're all
giving their different ideas to how to adapt your work so it's really you not
physically so they send me the yeah so kovat hit pretty pretty soon into it so
they were all virtual too so they're all doing that virtual the room was
virtual so
you did a virtual meeting though so you were at least digitally in
presence yeah was it weird having people talk about your creation and sort of
move it around and they keep all the main characters like Katie and yeah his
wife
and his daughter and all that stuff is yeah they so Chris wanted to keep so
Chris
optioned it right out of the gate Chris Pratt and so January of 2018 before it
even hits shells Chris Pratt options it because my dear friend Jared Shaw gives
him a copy and says this is your next project which is just by the way who's
better than Chris Pratt I can't think of anybody he's my favorite Chris
he's great he's he's just such a great guy yes and so for him like it's he's a
perfect
for that role so perfect perfect you know he's done you know he had a small
role in zero
dark 30 where he plays a Navy seal and very small part but you know his other
stuff hasn't been as
violent hasn't been as visceral hasn't been as primal and so people are gonna
be
surprised how graphic is this going to be pretty graphic well the books are so
graphic
there we are there we are right there yep I think that was uh Antoine wasn't
supposed to post that
so we're so I'm so glad that he did though Antoine you fucked up it's on Chris's
page actually yeah Chris
did it too Chris reposted it which is great uh but so Antoine and Antoine Fuqua
right there man he
is such an amazing guy um so he did training day did tears of the sun
magnificent seven shooter
equalizer um and it's one of those guys like when you meet him and you're in
this in his presence
like something's different you know you have this like you meet a lot of people
that come through
here and uh maybe a couple of them have had that sort of presence incredible it's
such a nice guy
so having Chris and Antoine at the top of this thing so many people came out to
me on set and just
told me hey this feels different than other movies we've worked on like
everybody from you know
craft services to whatever else technical advisors you know all coming and
saying this is
different and plus we had like 12 seals on set guys that I knew in the teams
that are there
playing seals or acting in the in it or doing stunt coordination or technical
advising or whatever
it is um so we were all on so it was like a reunion so we had a blast yeah so
all those guys there we
had it was a it was a huge reunion for a week on set and we had a we had a
blast but yeah it could
not be and you trust a lot of this is trust so when you hand something over to
somebody to take your
work and change it into something and adapt it to film uh or it can be anything
but uh there's a lot
of trust involved because you're especially me when uh if you're not jk rowling
or you're not uh
you know stephen king and you're not maintaining creative control uh you hand
that to somebody else
and you cross your fingers and there's no better there's no two better people
to be in charge of
this than chris pratt and anzuan fuqua they're incredible people catch new
