"Elektra is one of the reasons I got into television. I spent a year writing the movie, and it was supposed to be this gigantic movie, and then they decide they’re not going to make an $80 million movie, they’re going to make a $30 million movie, they bring in a director we didn’t know, you get fired, someone else comes in and rewrites the entire movie, but you still get credit because you wrote the first draft. Then you go to the premiere in Las Vegas, and 30 seconds into the movie you’re like, ‘Oh, [expletive].'"

"I literally, to this day, am still so embarrassed by that movie. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I know Jennifer Garner is too. She hired us to write the movie, which was pitched as something much more smart and sophisticated … it’s a blemish."

"IGN: Jennifer obviously really loves the part. Did you get the feeling that the press gave her a hard time about it?"

"She's the last thing that stands between good and evil."

"Bowman: In the Director's Cut, when [] DeMarco [played by Jason Issacs] is killed, she skewers his pistol through the trigger; the trigger guard. I had to take that out because the MPAA thought it was too early in the movie to see that. Kirigi (Will Yun Lee) could not cut McCabe (Colin Cunningham), the agent, couldn't cut his head off. Then there was Typhoid's death at the end, when [she] throws the sign through her head, I had to trim 3 frames off the head of that. That was so there wasn't such a visceral impact on it, and it just softens it. But you need a visceral release when she kills Typhoid, because Typhoid theoretically just killed Abbey. So, among other things, these frames are back in there."

"I think we created a film where the tension, the mystery, the characters, and the storyline itself were quite engrossing. The human drama was very effective, so that it still worked as a scary movie even though you didn’t see all the blood."
