SOUTHLAND BOUNTY HUNTERS FULL
She found a car full of bounty hunters, led them to where she lived, and then they killed her. This story was about a woman who ran away from a life-threatening situation with a bounty hanging over her head that made her want to leave the area. The second story is about a woman who got caught in the crossfire with a bounty hunter and ended up with a bounty of her own. The first story is about a man who killed a local police officer. The second story was about a woman who got caught in the crossfire with a bounty hunter. Although the first story was about a hunt for a man who had killed a local police officer, the second story is about a woman who got caught in the crossfire. After seeing the first story, we decided to make a second one and look at the second story. They were asking hunters to help make a difference and get the word out about the hunt.Īs we found out from the article, this is the third story we’ve featured that covers bounty hunting in the area. At the time of the story, the bounty hunters where hunting, but there was a large contingent of police officers working the area and a lot of people getting involved in the business. Frank Herbert was doing that, where it’s just another kind of colonialism - space colonialism.This article is about a recent trip to Southland, California and how this region of the country is becoming a destination for bounty hunting. That sticks in your head as a kid because you, “Wait, the world they’re in itself is corrupt and messed up.” I think that’s a villain that people can believe in and it’s not just, “I’m evil for the sake of being evil.” It’s also something that’s on Earth, but you can easily see it in space. So it was like, “Well, what’s the modern kind of evil? What’s a more palpable evil for today?” And one of the things that has always stuck in my craw is the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from “ Alien.” Where, like, the alien is the monster of the movie, but then as you start to watch, especially “ Aliens,” you see they’re also kind of the monster in this. Harpin: Early on, we were actually going to have a father-daughter kind of sci-fi thing mirroring that of, but it was so … just “ Star Wars,” and we’re already going to get hit with that comparison, which we don’t want.

So, “Who’s he on the hook to? Who is this company that’s motivating him to always go out there?” And that’s how the Conglomerate came into the conversation. We didn’t want to be a jerk who’s like, “I’m out here because I’m doing cool stuff.” No, there’s a reason he has to go out there and do these jobs and get paid. When we were talking about the story, Pat brought up this really cool idea of like, “What if the dad doesn’t even own his own rig? What if he doesn’t even own that ship? Who owns that ship? Who’s running it?” And that just opened up this whole bigger conversation. We would never have gotten to be this specific or have this much creative freedom, I don’t think, if this was a big studio movie.”ĭid you always know that a giant corporation would be your big villain?ĭowning: We did, actually. “This story was a way that father-daughter conflict can be played out on this grander sci-fi scale,” said Harpin. So the focus turned to breaking up the initial story into multiple installments. “We were adamant we didn’t want to do monster of the week and dad’s new bounty every week,” said Downing. But after some feedback, they realized the idea would work better as a series. Their initial pitch for what would become “My Dad the Bounty Hunter” was a movie. After being in story meetings together for some time, the pair started meeting for coffee and discussing their creative aspirations and their love for movies like “The Brother From Another Planet” (1984), “The Last Starfighter” (1984) and “ Attack the Block” (2011). … So we were just pulling from our lives and wanted to make something doesn’t pick sides.”ĭowning and Harpin met while they were working at Sony Pictures Animation.

“I was kind of coming at it from the kid point of view,” said Harpin, who explained that his father used to take him and his sister to work at a local Maine TV station since they couldn’t afford a babysitter.
