I think it worked two ways. One, a lot of people writing about the movie used that as shorthand and it could either be a good thing or they could use it to dismiss the movie like we were a copycat movie or something like that. It's very much its own story. It is a young woman in a post-apocalyptic society, but after that it's just a whole different kind of story and a different journey that she goes through.
As long as you're being a copycat, you will never be the best copycat.
The last thing we wanted was a copycat. When we saw [Richie Faulkner] play, we thought, "We don't have to tell this guy anything. He's got it. "
In my mind, there are too many copycat web products out there that are doing the same thing.
Because when I'm a copycat I'm never good! But when I'm Eric Thomas, I'm great! I'm great at what I do!
