At the end of the day, a "jump scare" scares the audience for the moment. Slow burn horror ideas scare people forever.

I created my own concept art and went in and did a 90-minute presentation that cost me a lot of money.And, the great thing is though, when I got the job, they had to buy all of it from me, because one of the set pieces in the middle of the movie was the scene I wrote, and they needed to own everything because a lot of it ended up being the movie we made, so I got all my money back. I was committed. I was going to outspend every competing director.

Any conqueror in human history has always been ultimately someone who exists purely for the expansion of their own ego, through amounting more.

My superpower would be telepathy. And I would by necessity need to use it with discretion, not all the time.

That's to me what always is compelling about villains. I am much more interested in how they think than in what they even do.

I root for all movies, but I especially root for good comic book movies. It's the best, most interesting genre going right now.

We love bringing verisimilitude to audiences, hopefully having experiences you'll never have.
