Video Interview: Michael Davis On Shoot 'Em Up
By Carolina Korth on September 4, 2007
The genius behind what may become the biggest cult-classic, yet commercial hit of the year, writer/director Michael Davis is one hell of an interesting guy. I talked to him about his new movie,
Shoot 'Em Up, how on earth he managed to couple a newborn with gunfire so many times, and the James Bond novels he wrote as a kid.
Check out our Exclusive Interview above.
A lonely outsider (Clive Owen) living in the shadows of his tragic past, rescues a baby from certain death and finds himself embroiled in a nefarious government plot. En route, he “hooks up” with a prostitute (Monica Bellucci) who specializes in lactation fantasies and who will help him feed and take care of the orphan child. Together they take on the trigger happy gangster politicians (Paul Giamatti, Stephen McHattie), and in a cinematic homage to Serge Leone, John Woo, Jean Pierre Melville shoot ‘em up’s, they bring down the Government and save the day. In the wreckage they find they have accidentally created their own little fractured yet functioning family.
Shoot 'Em Up Opens Sept 7th
