I think if anybody had a roll of dice with a lot of money at stake, they would not want Wes Craven and a romantic comedy.
Wes CravenIt's quite rare that you make something and think that you did something that no-one else had done.
Wes CravenAll of us have our individual curses, something that we are uncomfortable with and something that we have to deal with, like me making horror films, perhaps.
Wes CravenI wrote, I think, half a dozen films that were completely out of genre. Comedies, love stories, even one serious film about Vietnam, and we couldn't get backing for any of it. And we both sort of drifted from making, at that time, serious money on Last House to going through it all in the course of almost three years and only getting offers to do something scary again.
Wes CravenI love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films. Whenever I go to have a meeting at Universal, the security guard just leaps to his feet and comes over, bumps my hand, and says, "Thank you! Thank you, I love your films!" And it's people who are kind of at the cutting edge of life and survival, and being near the nitty-gritty, who like my films, and I like that.
