I had grown up loving movies and had always wanted to write them.

I started as a journalist for magazines in New York City, so it was always storytelling. And moving into movies was a natural transition.

I think you need to understand games to write them. There's a learning curve, just like there's a learning curve in anything. It's not precisely the same as film or television, but you're using the same muscles.

In the case of 'Blood Stone,' the producers, EON, Michael Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, David Wilson and Gregg Wilson, had an idea for a story and had a lot of it done. And I came in, worked with them, fleshed it out.

Well, writing was what I wanted to do, it was always what I wanted to do. I had novels to write so I wrote them.

I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
