Len Wiseman’s 5 most popular quotes

• I had done ‘Die Hard’ and it was somebody’s franchise. I actually just got done with the ‘Hawaii Five-O’ pilot, and I was developing some things of my own. So ‘Total Recall’ is one of those projects that I read wanting more not to like.
• My family is Mormon. I’m not Mormon, but my family is, and my mom was like, “You’re doing a show called Lucifer?! But I will admit, he is handsome, so I’ll watch it.”
• I love helicopters. In fact, for my wife and my friends, the myth of the chopper in the sky is that Len’s going to stop and look at it. I love, probably, destroying them, yes. You know, It’s the big elements, the big toys, the trucks, the helicopters, and things like that. You have a few tools to play with.
• In mine, they were just trying to steal a briefcase of cocaine. That’s it. Some flour that I got out of my mom’s cupboard.
• A lot of people don’t put the numbers together correctly. But Underworld, honestly, the way it came about—the real way it came about—I took a meeting with Dimension, and they were looking to do just a werewolf movie, and I wasn’t too interested in doing just a werewolf movie.
