Scott Wiper Talks THE CONDEMNED and the Hard-Boiled Action Movie
Scott Wiper's got a knack for the ahrd-boiled type of movie. The flicks that are over the top, but not in that Roger Corman type of way. Mostly in that John McClanekind of way. He entertained me with a flick(A BETTER WAY TO DIE) I saw on HBO, or Showtime, some time ago.
But I felt there was a vacuum as an action film, I don’t see any “Die Hard”s – rated R. “Lethal Weapon” – rated R. “48 Hours” – rated R. All I was seeing was these PG-13 action films made for $80 million and they have to entertain everyone from my two sisters to my mother. So when I first pitched how I would do this movie, I said, first and foremost rated R. It’s the whole essence. There’s a whole faction of people out there, and they’re not just men, and they’re disappointed with action films because they’re sugar coated.
