I really care more about the human drama than I do the thriller stuff.
— Scott Frank
Early on, when I wrote 'Little Man Tate,' I got pigeonholed. Somebody said to me, 'You're not very dark,' and I had trouble getting certain kinds of jobs... and I learned very early that I didn't want to get pigeonholed as anything. And my next script was 'Dead Again.'
For me, I really like the human drama embedded in a crime story, and I like the way European films do that.
Thrillers have become all about technology and using technology. That seemed, to me, not so interesting.
