Specifically, she tells IndieWire: “I think the original script was really innovative. I don’t think anybody had seen anything quite like it before. It sort of launched a genre; there’s this comic sci-fi genre. Really, it was one of the first of its kind. Now we’ve had so many of those films. I think what’s remarkable that Jason has done is… a real love letter to the franchise.”
