Feature: Scott Frank (“A Walk Among the Tombstones”)

L.A. Times interview with top Hollywood screenwriter Scott Frank (Out of Sight, Get Shorty, Minority Report) who wrote and directed the upcoming movie A Walk Among the Tombstones).

They’re more about spectacle than plot and character. I wanted to do something much slower and more deliberate. It’s very old school.”

Here is a trailer for the movie:

The movie opens September 19, 2014.
