In those days, Obolos were placed in a dead man's hand or two over his mouth so the first time he opens his mouth the payment falls out into Charons hand by mourners as payment to Charon the Ferryman, who was in charge of crossing souls over river Styx into Hades, the Greek version of Hell.

This would support the Accountant's role as a retriever of lost souls. At some point, Milton mocks the Accountant by asking if he thinks he is Anubis, to which the Accountant just shrugs. In Egyptian mythology, the jackal-headed god Anubis was the one in charge of deciding whether a soul belonged to Heaven or Hell by weighing his heart on a scale.

Nicolas Cage said that one of the reasons he took on the part was the sequence where Jonah King shoots Milton's eyes out. There had been a similar sequence for Cage's character in the film Season of the Witch but it was cut so that film would keep its desired PG Cage loved the notion of it being part of a crazy film that was aiming for a hard R rating. The original script envisioned John Milton as a 70 year-old man and the producers were looking for an actor reasonably close to that age to play the part.

When Nicolas Cage expressed interest, however, they decided to make the character's age irrelevant and cast Cage instead. The name of Nicolas Cage's character is John Milton. This is likely a reference to Paradise Lost, an epic about Satan's expulsion from Heaven and the creation of Hell, which was written by John Milton. Todd Farmer, who wrote the screenplay for the film, has a cameo appearance as boyfriend of Amber Heard's character.

He is discovered to be cheating on her, gets badly beaten by her, and is later tortured for information by The Accountant. Nicolas Cage originally wanted to shave his head and sport a full tattoo on his cranium. He was talked out of this. How much do we deal with Hell in this film?

Milton is actually in Hell and then comes back so do we see him in hell, what's hell like for Milton? When we wrote it that [Hell] was more of a reveal. But now it's laid out very early in the film, probably in frame one. So yes, that's where he's from [Hell]. Not directly, I think he's originally from Chicago.

He breaks out of his punishment to set something right. And he's pursued by somebody who tells him that he's got to come back, "you don't get to leave. You have someone who is relentless, unstoppable, wicked and darkly funny. But funny because they knew they would succeed and they have this overconfidence. It creates this constant press on the hero and that as vicious and relentless as Milton was, there was someone who was more so. And as hard as Milton is pursuing this cult and Billy Burke's character Jonah King [the leader of the cult], there's someone chasing him as well.

Ok so you're talking about The Accountant right? Why call him The Accountant, how did you come up with that? We imagine Hell as probably as very well done. With all our experiences with bureaucracy we thought that, yeah [The Accountant] would sort of make sense. Bureaucracy can be really vicious and of course we need somebody who would have that attention to detail. Who made sure the checks and balances were met and that every single column lined up.

And if it was that person that came after you, you would be majorly fucked. We talked about how you'd already seen the hunter from hell and we thought nah, it's a guy in a suit.

It's a guy who looks like a lawyer, but isn't. It's a guy who looks at numbers and is indifferent to your plight. You can't negotiate with him because to him it's just about making sure everything adds up. If you're against the books, then he will make sure to correct it. We just thought it would be fun to have that, to make The Accountant the coolest character on the planet, and then call him the Accountant. Bill Fichtner he loves that part. Because it's the guy who does everything everybody wants to do, and gets away with it.

So yes, he was a blast to write! Do we get to see Milton get punished in hell, and what is his punishment? That's a complicated question. You have to see the film to understand what Hell is in this mythology and the nature of how you're punished. One could easily say yes or no. You have to see Hell to see what I mean by that.

You do see the nature of his punishment, yes. Do you see him actually getting punished? Perhaps not.
