'The first thought when William proposed Uber was "can I make this interesting?" The second thought was "can I make this ethical?" ... Then there's the question of could I do a story that I considered ethical in the Avatar style? Consider this exact same story fired through the art filter of someone like James Sturm, and suddenly a lot of lines of criticism vanish. To that end, Caanan and I have tried to have a focused approach to the content. As much as it's possible, we try not to make the violence thrill. This is primarily a war story, and secondarily a horror story. This isn't violence as a stylistic element, but violence of flesh tearing.
