I thought well, its not going to stand out horribly if its completely terrible.
So I went into it with a good frame of mind!
Its an accomplished effort from a first-time screenwriter but, admits Morgan, took years of hard work.
But luckily I randomly bumped into [producer] Matt Wilkinson in a bar somewhere.
Things went from there.
As Morgan and Wilkinson were tightening the screenplay, they were also thinking about directors for the project.
I was thrilled when he got the job.
I was like Fucking hell, we can go and have fun!
he knew that casting the other parts had to achieve the right four-way dynamic.
No easy task, it transpired.
As you might imagine, we were pretty terrified.
As soon as we met Georgia, I was like Shit, yes, thats Lulu, continues Morgan.
And Michael is so great with improvisation that we were able to build this believable rapport.
And, says Morgan, landing Fletcher was another fortuitous piece of casting luck.
Luckily he said yes!
I knew I wanted moments like this.
Showing the vulnerable side of a character is a great way to get the audience to care about them.
Its funny watching that scene with audiences, they really get it, says Morgan.
And Kelly really trained like mad, and was genuinely kicking Michaels ass.
The whole scene, thats all Ben, Morgan continues of the directors involvement.
Im not interesting in writing actiony stuff.
In the script, it was just Alex and Kitty have a huge fight that goes on for ages.
So Ben took that and choreographed this huge fight.
The resulting sequence is funny and brutal in equal measure, much likeDouble Dateitself.
The balance of the comedy and the horror is the best theres ever been.
What happens when Im writing is that I get bored, he says.
Two people will be talking for a few pages and Ill be like Nobodys died!
Nobodys heads been blown off!
Ive got a really bad attention span, I just need something to happen.
So I think thats where my love of action and horror stuff comes from.
