I didn’t keep anything from the film, sadly. I think one of my producing partners has a head somewhere. I think there would be a lot of questions, if I showed up for a four-foot baby head. We shot in Toronto and I live in Florida, and to get that stuff across the border is just not that easy. Where did those heads go? Do you have one somewhere? He really added a lot of the fun in the film. I think the baby heads in the woods were his idea, and we just kept expanding on that idea.

I gave us a head start on what the script was, but Joshua Montcalm, who I wrote this with, took it from a fun, heady thriller and he added a level of the bizarre. There were actual brainstorming sessions for what we could look like in those scenes. We were all sitting around this 200-foot long table one day, talking about all of the production issues, and one of the things I had on the agenda was to talk about how humiliating we could make a couple of the moments. All of the department heads were amazing. When you actually had to shoot that scene, what were you thinking in those moments? When people are wondering who in the world dreamed this stuff up for me and who I should punish for that, I’m the guy. RITCHSON: Yeah, I have no one else to blame. So, you’re basically the one entirely to blame for putting yourself in the woods, in a diaper and holding both a gun and a giant baby head? Agent Carter was born in prep for the film and while we were shooting. But I wanted to do the comedy, so I was like, “I’ll write myself a little side part and just have fun with that.” So, it just kept evolving. And then, from the time that I wrote it to the time that we started getting it made, I had started directing a lot and I just wanted to direct, so I wanted to cast somebody else in that role. I originally thought of myself as the Connor Black part. The subject matter is a little heady and I was just looking for ways to make it more relatable, so the comedy kept creeping in. As it became more of a character-driven film, it’s a little bit heady.

Originally, this was closer to a hundred million dollar 007 movie, just huge action-adventure, new world order, new government type of explosive thing, and that’s just not make-able, these days. That’s a good question and a solid observation.
