Alex Cox

Turned down offers to direct Three Amigos! (1986) and रोबोकॉप (1987) in favour of Walker (1987).
Said on the commentary of the Criterion Collection DVD that Walker (1987) is his best film.
Went to law school with Tony Blair.
He was asked to direct रनिंग मैन (1987).
In a March 2007 blog post, Cox referred to Vice President Dick Cheney as "secret architect of the 9-11 atrocities." In the same article, Cox called the September 11 attacks "Plan Pearl Harbor," referring to the false flag conspiracy theory surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor.

[on Steven Spielberg] Spielberg isn't a filmmaker; he's a confectioner.
I was the person who brought मार्स अटैक्स! (1996) to the attention of the studio. They were bubblegum cards I had as a kid. I developed मार्स अटैक्स! (1996) with Jon Davison, the producer of रोबोकॉप (1987), for quite a while, but at some point my project got shut down and it was given to Tim Burton. It was a bit of a shame, but I think both the script that I wrote and the Tim Burton one suffered from not being enough like the bubblegum cards.
El patrullero (1991) is the first film I directed [that was] shot - almost - entirely in long takes...what the Mexicans call "plano secuencia". It's the first film I directed in Mexico. It's the first film I directed where I rigorously followed the script. It's probably my best film, and I'm delighted that Kino Lorber have given it a new 4K restoration and are bringing it back to the cinemas, in the US and - I hope - Mexico. [2018]
