It is a good thing to always step back a bit with things like that. But I try my damned hardest to learn something from everything I do.

I wrote this script in 2003, when I was a humble college student, sitting in my boxers and writing in my dorm room. And I came up with the idea of writing an action-based 'Snow White,' with this kind of Huntsman character as kind of a way in. So, that's something I'm sort of proud of.

Baltimore was never intended to be anything other than this original novel that Chris Golden and I did together. There was never any thought of this thing going on and becoming a series.

Almost everything I've done is something I wish somebody else was doing, because it's what I'd like to read.
