Clark Greg, even if he lives to be 100 and works until his last day as an actor, will forever be known as an agent Coulson. The actor helped start Marvel's Chinese universe during Phase 1 as a Shield Agent, culminating in a key role In the 2012 "Avengers", one of the biggest and most important films ever made. He even survived his death (thanks, comic book logic) for seven seasons of Marvel's "shield agents" more than a decade before it, however, he wrote one of the biggest hits since 2000.

"What Lies Under" was directed by the legend "Returning to the Future" Robert Knatis, with Harrison Ford starring in the lead role with Michel Pfeiffer ("Batman Returns"). It may seem unlikely, but the man behind Agent Coulson really inflicts a horror/thriller for one of the biggest stars in the world at the height of his forces. What is even more interesting is that Greg, to this day, has only a few credits for the script of its name. So it's not like this is a great second career that most people don't know, like "The "Starwells War" icon and Ford's co-Starvedza, Carrie Fisher, is one of the doctors for Hollywood script. Greg just happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right take on an idea.

For those who may need a refresher, "lying under" centers of D -Norman Spencer (Ford), who betrayed their wife Claire (Ffser) with an affair. Norman's life and marriage seem to be perfect with the affair now behind him, but Claire tells him that he is hearing mysterious voices and looks at the image of a young woman in their home. Norman rejects him, but soon it becomes clear that something is really going on and frightening things appear.

The film proved to be a big hit, taking up $ 291 million worldwide, the tenth largest film of 2000 as a whole. Although not a great critical darling in her time, "What Lies Under", which is essentially Alfred Hitchcock's rifing, is right again Over the years. It is a damn nice thriller and was a turnaround for Ford, which was a hot string in the 80's and 90's. However, in the early 2000s, he starred in a series of wrong fires, including "Hollywood Murder" and "Protected ID". This was, in a way, goodbye to the old Ford.

So how is it that Greg ended up writing this film in the first place? During the 2020 interview with Comicbook.comThe actor/writer explained that once he moved to LA, he should keep the occupied and writing to fill the void:

"I started writing" because I had to be busy. I wrote a few indie -scripts and one of them drew the attention of a truly incredible person who became very successful, Nina Obeykobson, who was the young CEO of DreamWorks. And she said, "You know, we have this idea of ​​ghosts.

Spielberg did not end up directing, but Kibis did it, and he kept Greg on the ship throughout the process, rather than bringing another writer. (Greg shares credit stories with Sarah Kernochan, but has a unique "scenario" credit for the film.) "It was funny. Every step of that, "Greg added. "I was just like living in a small guest house in Venice, to go," Oh, for real? "And then, Bob did this incredible job, which was shot by the first half of Cast Away, and then shot all" lying under "with the same team."

It is interesting that Greg and Ford are now part of MCU, With Ford he took it as a thunder Ross in "Captain America: The Brave New World". Whether we ever see them on the screen, it remains to be seen, but it's an interesting moment in the whole circle.
