I reached a point where I'd watched enough directors do the job that I felt I understood it. And it's not that I'm a slow learner and it took me this long; I also was enjoying writing, and I still enjoy writing - I get tremendous satisfaction out of the writing end of it.

The smorgasbord of images now presented to us is getting bloodier. They're becoming more frequent - almost hourly. Dan Gilroy bloodyfrequenthourly Change image and share on social
Everything I've ever written, I had a very distinct vision of what I wanted it to look like. But, other directors never do it that way. Dan Gilroy directordistincthave Change image and share on social
Shooting at night in Los Angeles is amazing. The city shuts down at 10 P.M. every night, and a whole different cast of characters comes out. Dan Gilroy amazeangelescast Change image and share on social
