  
Q: What about this movie you have
coming up--3,000 Miles to
Graceland? Word is your costar
Kurt Russell didn't like the finished
cut and decided to make his own
version.
KC: What you have is a great little movie by a first-time director [Demian
Lichtenstein] and a star who felt like it could be better. The director
owed the actor the chance to go ahead and try. But it wasn't as good
as what the director was trying to do. The director's cut was better than
what the star wanted. It's that simple. But that happens all the time.
Q: There's a report that you even turned in your own cut.
KC: I didn't. I thought the director was very generous to let Kurt have a try.
And when you have a try, the numbers come back. Since people are
making movies based on numbers...I always make them by the seat
of my pants, but if you're going to do it by numbers, what happened
was that the numbers weren't even close.
Q: Is the movie as violent as people say?
KC: It is really violent, but it's really fun, too. It's going to surprise people,
because I'm not known for making that kind of movie.
