Mark Jones: <\/strong>Probably [from] dating a lot of females that are somewhat crazy [laughs] to be honest…”Misery” was a movie I always liked and I [thought to] take that, make it a young person and put it in [a] somewhat contemporary [setting], and that’s basically it. I think that there needs to be a movie made about a girl like this. <\/p>\n You’ve written and directed other films, like “Leprechaun.” When you were writing and directing “Scorned,” were there any particular challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mark Jones: <\/strong>Production, there was. We shot it in Ohio and it was a tough shoot because of the weather. From a practical level, I wasn’t used to Ohio’s climate and one thing that surprised myself and some of the people that we flew in from LA is that we [didn’t] have 12 hours of night. When you’re shooting at night, there are usually 12-hour days. The sun doesn’t go down until 10 and it doesn’t come up until about six or seven, so you have about eight hours of night. So we didn’t really know [this] until we started shooting…so we had an accelerated schedule. It was tough; I think we pulled it off, I think we did a great job, considering. But weather was a factor; we did get rained out a couple of times and that was pretty much the tough part. <\/p>\n AnnaLynne McCord and Billy Zane are the two leads; what was it like working with them?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mark Jones: <\/strong>Well, AnnaLynne was terrific. I make a prediction that AnnaLynne–I wouldn’t be surprised if in some movie somewhere, she gets a nomination. I think she surprised me [with] how good she was. I saw her work on “90210” and I’ve seen different things she’s done and I’ve met with her and I was very happy initially that we had someone of her caliber…but she nailed it. She brought…a bunch of levels to the character and she was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t be happier…She’s a total professional…everything’s about the movie, that’s all her concern[.] She’s a cat lover like I am, so we bonded over cats. <\/p>\n Billy was great. Billy is an incredibly creative guy and I actually had a lot of fun with him. He’s…very eclectic and he’s an interesting guy; he has a lot of levels to him. But again, he’s terrific. The camera rolls and he does his stuff and he always brings a little extra element to something that I didn’t expect. <\/p>\n
