Career

In an interview for King's film Haunter, director Vincenzo Natali discussed how grateful he is to King after working with him in both films. "Out of the blue I came across my friend Brian King’s script for what was then called Company Man. Ultimately it was named Cypher. And then that came together very quickly. It took maybe...I don’t know, it was another 6-8 months and we were shooting the movie. And almost an identical thing happened with Haunter because I had these sort of long-standing, very ambitious projects, High Rise and Neuromancer that I’d been trying to do after Splice. And, invariably, it takes a long time. So, in the interim, Brian came up with this new script, entirely his creation. And I really loved it. We put it together in probably about the same time period, like eight months or less and we were shooting. So Brian keeps saving my ass. That’s how it works."[6]

gollark: Usually it's my extremely janky WiFi network failing, but it seems to be working fine today. I'll tracepathize it.
gollark: It might be that, or my internet connection. I can't really tell.
