Personal Quote:

I like to work fast. I think if you're adequately prepared, there's no reason to stand around waiting for the muse to strike. It's much better to have all the plans in place. I see no advantage on trying something twenty different ways to come back to the way you should have done it in the first place. See more »

Trivia:

Franklin had wanted to do a thriller for children and started out to do a remake of the 1949 Bobby Driscoll suspenser "The Window," which Universal held the rights to. Ultimately the writers abandoned that and ended up writing "Cloak and Dagger.". See more »
