With all the crap that's going on around the world, you kind of want to do what you can to protect the ones you love.

If people want to watch a CG movie, there's plenty out there.

There's a reason why Smellovision has never really taken off. And I think it's a good thing.

For me, what usually makes a horror sequence scary is the journey not the destination.
James Wan -
We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.
James Wan -
I think Mel Gibson could make 'Passion of the Christ' because he really believed in it and gave it his all.
James Wan -
The great thing about the 'Fast and Furious' world is everything is up for speculation. Yes, anything is a possibility.
James Wan -
You can only go by the instinct that you have.

I try to keep the number of projects I'm involved in down to one per year.
James Wan -
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
James Wan -
I can make any kind of movies. I can put up with any kind of situation. And I can tackle them.

It all comes down to what is best for those particular genres, and if you believe in the stories that you're telling and the characters that you like that you want to tell those stories with, you can pretty much apply it to any genre.

'Poltergeist' was really the film that really scarred, but fascinated, me with puppets and dolls, clowns and stuff like that.

I remembered a long time ago when 'A League of Their Own' came out, and they had the opening sequence with an older Geena Davis. We all just thought it was amazing, but you find out it actually wasn't Geena Davis; it wasn't makeup. It was basically finding an actress that looked like her, and then Geena just dubbed her voice.

I'm always excited when I can discover new filmmakers.

To some degree, this re-release is to let people remember what the first 'Saw' film was, and let them know there was a time in the 'Saw' history where it wasn't all about blood and traps.

I always say, what is cool for me with 'The Conjuring', is it's not just another scary set piece or another scary case; it's more about what I can do with the characters of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

I guess I have a fascination with the idea of puppeteering. I think, in a lot of ways, directing is puppeteering. I guess I see a lot of analogies between what puppeteers and filmmakers do.

The stuff I'm designing, I want my action scenes to be intense.
James Wan -
I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. The key is creating scenarios that people can relate to.

I wasn't delusional at all when I signed on to do 'Furious 7,' that it wasn't my creation. It's the seventh movie in a series, for goodness sake!
James Wan -
Still one of my favorite movies is the original 'The Haunting.' I love that style.
James Wan -
I'm such an action movie junkie that as an action fan, because action scenes are so heightened, we could never really picture ourselves in that scene. So when you're watching an action movie, you experience an action movie more outside of the aquarium: you know you're out of the aquarium looking in at all the swimming fish that are in there.

Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart. Part of what got me excited about the Aquaman character is his re-envisioning of Aquaman, the character, with 'The New 52.'
