It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.
As a filmmaker, you aspire to want to make movies that can hopefully stand the test of time, but you never know when that will happen or if that will happen.
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.
All my movies are about people with some ideology, but guess what? It never works out.
People are so used to seeing John Goodman as a loveable dad or the quirky characters he played in the Coen Brothers films.
I took a break from horror I made three ghost movies back-to-back-to-back.
That's the thing about Aquaman that's cool is he's not an alien, right? He's from our planet, and he's from a society that we're not privy to in the context of the story.
I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, incredible, magical kingdom.
I'm terrified of the supernatural things, which is why I'm very grateful that I don't see things like that. Because if I did see things of the paranormal persuasion, I don't think I'd be able to conti...
Language-wise, my mom and dad's dialect, they're pretty obscure. It's Chinese, but not your traditional Chinese, like Cantonese or Mandarin. It wasn't something that I got to use very much growing up....

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 always felt that what is scary is actually hearing someone tell you what they think they see. That sense of invisibility makes things a lot scarier, since your imagination tends to fill in the gaps.
Aquaman's such an amazing character.
There's something very cool about that indie spirit that I try to hang on to even now with the bigger films that I'm working on.
If you come down to it, there's only a handful of worlds that action films live in. You have your car chases, your gun fights, and your fights.
The thing that ultimately pushed me more towards 'Aquaman' is I love the possibility of creating a whole new world. I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, in...
I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.
We live in a world that relies on technology.
