John Cusack recently appeared at San Diego Comic Con to introduce Momo
John Cusack has revealed why he strayed from the usual Hollywood route for his latest project.
The 60-year-old actor said he wanted to tell a story in his own way, without having to answer to studios or change his ideas to please others.
John recently appeared at San Diego Comic Con to introduce Momo, a graphic novel that mixes a 1972 road trip, a heist, and a surprising sci-fi twist.
Talk to Varietyhe shared that he chose the graphic novel format because it gave him complete creative control.
He explained that making films often means a lot of people want to change history, especially when large sums of money are involved.
This time he wanted to create something that remained exactly as he had imagined it.
The star worked with illustrator Ignacio Noé, and the duo completed the project without outside editors or studio executives altering their work.
John said this type of creative freedom is very rare today.
