this part relates to Stolen (Confused: have they changed the name back to Medallion again?)

What can you tell me about Stolen [now titledMedallion]. That’s been shot already, right?

Yeah, they shot it. It’s funny because it was a script that I wrote eight years ago, something like that. Way before Safe House. Almost independently of Safe House, and it got set up with Nicolas Cage and Simon West. So while we were off doing Safe House, they were off doingMedallion. […] But that’s pretty much all I really know about it.

I’m curious what the impetus was for that one, because that sounds like… all I have here is, really, a log line about it.

Generally I like trying to think of, when I’m trying to come up with ideas for scripts, I think the ‘90s had the best action high concept movies. And I think you go take the best high concept action movies of the ‘90s and then go, how would you direct it in the ’70s? That’s how I look at it. You take Speed, and you go, how would you do Speed in the ‘70s? […] That’s how I look atSafe House, and Medallion was much more like… I mean, I’m a New Yorker, I live here, and I wanted to do a very New York, ironically the movies doesn’t take place there anymore, but a very New York-centric movie. And I was like, well, what if someone took someone’s daughter and put her in a Taxicab? then literally, it’s a needle in a haystack movie, where your main character is surrounded by possibilities for the entire movie. There’s four or five cabs up the street and my daughter could be in any one of them. So that was really the impetus. Then we changed it and set it in New Orleans, and it became more of a heist movie than anything else. But Cage is great, and Simon West is a really, really great guy.
