Unfortunately, this is yet another video which doesn't work outside of the US but we do have a few brief highlights from the interview below courtesy of a transcription provided by
MTV News. Alex Russell started off by sharing his thoughts on what exactly sets the characters in
Chronicle apart from well know comic book superheroes.
"I feel like superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man and Superman, for whatever reason, take on a specific persona and characteristic, having to associate yourself with a bat or a spider or have a specific image because those are the particular powers you have," Russell said.
"Matt, Andrew and Steve aren't having any intention to have any kind of image out there about themselves. They're just using it for fun"
"As the film goes on and things get out of control, then you start to see some similarities to the kind of scenes that you do see in superhero movies," he added.
"It's just because they're forced into that situation, and they have to do what needs to be done, not because they want an image or anything. I wouldn't say you could associate them with an particular superhero."
