00:02I don't write books where I cast certain actors as characters, but I can't lie to you that when I
00:11started the first book, Clint Eastwood was doing the westerns, and he was very much in my mind as the
00:21ideal gunslinger.
00:22What I never saw coming was when they floated the idea of Idris Elba. You know, I tweeted one time,
00:30I don't care whether he's black, white, green, polka dot, the thing is, he's got to be a fast draw,
00:37and he's got to project that idea of a guy who can, you know, really get it done, really get
00:44it done.
00:44So, when they suggested Idris Elba, I thought to myself, I'd seen Luther and some of the other things that
00:51he's done, he's a big guy, and he projects incredible energy, and he's kind of concentrated force.
01:01So I thought to myself, man, he's great, and if we can get him, we're halfway home.
