“It’s great. You wrote a good dynamic. The brother is taken straight from the book, it’s a difficult relationship, the way he wrote it. There’s tension, of course, because of what happened, what they’ve been through. But also, they’re brothers. And from the beginning, the silence that was between them and they didn’t talk, they didn’t talk, they didn’t do anything, there’s no connection at all. And now, here they are side by side and they have to do this thing together. So I think it was great. And that dynamic is great too, because we see this lone wolf character. He’s always on his own. He’s always doing his own thing. And then all of a sudden you see this other guy next to him. And there’s a little bit of tension there. But also, I think at the end, there’s some respect and love. So it’s an interesting place to see Colter that we haven’t seen before.”
