“It’s interesting, because I’ve had opportunities to do franchise movies. Once your movie opens at #1, you’re offered everything. There were movies like Halo, and they’re remaking The Hulk again, and Die Hard 4, and I just thought I’d rather write and direct and do my own thing,” Roth revealed to VH1. “I don’t need to jump to a $100 million movie. There were some books I was interested in. I was like, I’d love to do ‘The Phantom Tollbooth’ or ‘In the Heart of the Sea.’ But the truth is, right now I love writing and directing my own stories.”
