This movie makesCranklook likeThe English Patient, says Casey.
says Casey, who is another of the films producers.
Kim CoatesisOfficer Downe and I mean that almost literally.
He inhabited the role so perfectly.
We didnt want to go for some WWE star, no offense to them.
We wanted a real actor to give a real performance.
And Kim just dove in bs deep.
His performance is amazing.
The film is the directorial debut of Shawn Crahan, better known as Slipknot founding member and percussionist Clown.
Clowns directed the videos for Slipknot, so he definitely has some experience behind the camera, says Casey.
We were lucky to get him and he had a real energy and enthusiasm to tell this story.
It wasnt an ego trip on his part.
He wanted to be a real filmmaker and he did a great job.
He really stepped up.
Officer Downeis based on the Man of Action imprint/Image Comics graphic novel created by Casey and artist Chris Burnham.
We do the graphic novel and 50 percent more.
Its all in there in all its weird glory.
Officer Downereceives its world premiere on June 3 as part of theL.A.
Hopefully, it will get bought for distribution and world domination will follow, says Casey.
