Because we wanted to, even though it's a comic approach, to have some resonance. That fear of the unknown drives you- I went to so many Christian Amerada lectures that illustrate this point that it's phenomenal. I think, you know, one of the things about it that I liked is everybody considers their mortality all the time, whether they know it or not.

Jack Nicholson: The first audience we screened it to said that this is a movie about living. Paul Fischer: When you do a movie like this, does it at all bring home a sense of dealing with your own mortality, or do you ignore those things when you're making a film about vthat?

Jack Nicholson is an iconic movie star in every sense of the word. NICHOLSON NOT READY TO KICK THE BUCKET JUST YET by Paul Fischer
