"The script was only 57 pages long- the rest of it was deep inside Ken's terrifying head- and the dialogue was dreadful. I could see what Ken wanted visually but I felt like I let him down. Knowing what I know now, I would have changed every single word of it and made the character work".
What it is commendable that Daltrey takes the blame, the fault really lies (IMHO) with whoever decided to start the film without a finished script. That is really one of the cardinal rules of filmmaking: "Never start shooting a film without a finished script in hand."
