"I remember saying to Stu, it's like, ah, let's just start writing it together and when we can get a real writer, we will. But for now, let's just do it ourselves. And that was sort of the journey of being more creative and taking ownership of your career and not waiting for the audition or for the phone call, but taking it by the reins and being a master of your own destiny sort of thing. So you're watching a trailer, right? You want to know what the move is about? Well, allow me to explain. The name's Fallon and I'm an assassin. Yeah, yeah, I know. You've already seen all the assassin movies and all their sequels, right? You seem pretty unscathed. Well, I don't prove it's easy. So to write that script and then it was actually very easy to get it made. I mean, I literally gave it to my friend of my manager at the time, whose friend is now my manager because of this. And he took it to Sony and like that, bang, we got the film made. That's not a story you get to tell every day about a movie, okay. Yeah, yeah, it happened very fast. Actually, I remember thinking this is easy and it was never that easy again. But it all sort of just fell into place. And yeah, that film meant so much to me and I learnt a lot in the process of that being my first film that I produced, wrote, starred in. You know, I do many things differently now, of course, because you learn from your mistakes. But that film will always have a special place in my heart and resonate with me so much because of how personal it was to me. And it's a memory of being a kid and then carrying that through to adult life and then making that film and then putting it out to the world. And we did a sequel as well that did very well. And we were talking about doing a third one. But yeah, Accident Man for me is always gonna be the one that resonates the most because of what it was to me from being a kid, you know, growing up with that comic."
