Elektra (2005 film)

"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."

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

"Q:Didn't Elektra die in Daredevil?"

"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."

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

"Looks can kill."

"She was left for dead. Now she's back with vengeance."

"Born to fight. Trained to kill."

"Before she can find peace she will wage war."
