Antoine Fuqua on Dennis Rodman's North Korea Trip, Violence in Movies and His Eminem Film

The "Olympus Has Fallen" director says of Rodman: "It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen... He’s doing me a favor. Keeping me in the news. He should be on TV more."

Antoine Fuqua spent the first decade of this 21st century working almost without a stop, pumping out nine feature and TV movies in ten years, most notably the gritty cop dramas Training Day (for which Denzel Washington his first Oscar) and Brooklyn's Finest. But since 2009, he's only released one film -- a TV movie called Exit Strategy, made with his frequent collaborator Ethan Hawke -- as several of his passion projects have been delayed for various financial and personal reasons.
