Even if you look at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies, at the end of the movie things get really crazy and nutty, but they all start in a very mundane situation that people can relate to, and that's also to some degree what we tried to do in 'Chernobyl Diaries.

The less people know about 'Paranormal Activity,' the more they enjoy it.

By trade, I am a software programmer, so I never really had any experience with movies before. I started out with 'Paranormal Activity.

I'm having fun with what I'm doing but I'd never categorically say no to something because it's not horror. I'm keeping an open mind.

In many places around the world, all over the U.S. and Europe there are active nuclear power plants. And for many years during the Cold War the threat of nuclear war was a permanent fear. There's always the concern that human kind is biting off more than they can chew in harnessing nuclear power.

Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.

It's always about finding the right balance between answering some questions and raising new ones to keep your story going.
