After
the massive success of Iron Man 3, Shane Black returned to a project more close
to the heart in the adaptation of the popular 30’s and 40’s pulp magazine hero
Doc Savage.
During
the Saturn Awards, collider met up with the director and he talked about how
the film is still set in 1930’s and described Savage as a “what if Jimmy Stewart were a stone-cold killer?”
“We’re
shooting it as though it’s in the 30s, including all the Capra-esque elements
of 1930s films like You Can’t Take It With You. The idea of ‘What if Jimmy Stewart were a stone-cold
killer?’ basically. It’s that kind of combination which we enjoy.”
“Doc
Savage is a personal film to me. It’s a 1930s pulp character so it hasn’t
been around for 75 years or so, but people if they’re introduced to it they’ll
get to know, hopefully, what I came to love as a kid. I’ve read those
series for 43 years and always wanted to figure out how to crack it.”
