“Well you know, it's interesting because I realized that when I read it right away the first person I thought of was Gene Hackman in Superman, which is a movie I grew up with.” Moore said. “I can remember, I remember very clearly Gene Hackman and Valerie Perrine in that like lair, in that cave and how ordinary they seemed, how their concerns seemed real and they were always fighting and there was all this kind of stuff happening I thought that's kind of how I saw this.
