Chris Mars quotes

“Visually through my work, over and over, I'm trying to create characters that are - to some people they may be monstrous, and I hate that word, because I think they're just unique. Misfits. I purposefully want to present something a little different so that whether people are disturbed by it or not, they can wrestle with it.”

If it grabs somebody in a negative way, that's my intention.”

I won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but I think that I can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character.

Harvey is a very good guy in the comic books. He's judicious. He cares. He's passionate about what he loves and then he turns into this character. So you will see that in this film.”
