In the course of an hour, Daniel told many detailed stories about how he was cast in <em>Bully<\/em>, despite Larry Clark&#8217;s intense dislike of him, how<em> Mean Girls <\/em>helped his career but not the variety of scripts he was offered, the production problems with <em>Killer Pad<\/em>, what happens when you show up to the set and the script is not at all what you signed up for (<em>Cruel World<\/em>), how he navigates the conundrum of avoiding and yet requiring typecasting, and how the remake of <em>I Spit on Your Grave<\/em> walks the exploitation\/feminist line.<\/p>\n<p>The interview, which was recorded in November of 2009, while <em>I Spit on Your Grave <\/em>was still in production, covers a number of other subjects, and I certainly tried to get him to answer the important questions, such as, what, exactly, would a <em>good<\/em> version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.regrettablesincerity.com\/?p=329\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>I Spit on Your Grave<\/em><\/span><\/a> look like? He also tells a very amusing, yet sad anecdote about his first animated film and why it was finished five years ago, and despite a big budget (from the producers of <em>The Polar Express<\/em> and <em>Beowulf<\/em>), is still unreleased.
