“I like alternating commercials with movies, because it keeps the pace up. You can't slack on a commercial. You need to go fast. That's a terrific piece of action, I think if that was scheduled for a movie, you'd put that in for two or three days worth of work.” IfsThinkingNeedsTwoActionThreePiecesPaceTerrific Author:Paul W.

“It's all based around the idea that basically VW cars are space age. They're the worst cars to use in action movie, because all the things you want to traditionally do in an action movie they won't allow you to do, because they make you drive safely if you want to or not.” IfsWantIdeasUseAgeActionSpaceWorstCarAction MovieDrive Safely Author:Paul W.

“So each of the commercials- basically it's an action movie cliché. "Bus" is very much inspired by Speed obviously, where you have a high-jacked out of control bus, and you have heroes who are trying to jump from a moving vehicle to the bus and they just can't do it because the moving vehicle can't get close enough, because all these VW cars have this distancing technology, which is really fantastic.” TryingEnoughActionMovingTechnologyCarHeroInspiredSpeedFantasticBusVehicleAction Movie Author:Paul W.

“Death Race was a very modern action movie and it used all of those modern action techniques with lots of hand-held camera, lots of punchy zooms, and lots of quick movements and quick cuts. In 3D, I didn't want to do that anymore.” WantHandsActionUsedRaceCuttingModernMovementCamerasTechniqueAction MovieZoomDeath Race Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“When we wrapped Resident Evil, we were a 3D movie, but it was no big deal. And then, Avatar came out and the whole of Hollywood was like, "Look at these grosses! 3D is huge. Let's all be 3D!" We just got on with doing what we were doing, which was making what we think is a really quality, kick-ass 3D movie, and we'll really be the first live-action 3D movie of the year.” ThinkingYearsFirstsLooksWholeBigsActionEvilDealsQualityHugeHollywoodAssKicksBig DealResidentsKick AssResident Evil Author:Paul W.

“There's something very terrifying about that and very primal about it. It's my belief that what horror does for people is that it provides that primal fear that, when we were wild hunter-gatherers, we had as part of our natural lives because maybe something was trying to hunt and gather you as well. We don't have that anymore in life and that's one of the things that horror films and action films provide for us.” PeopleTryingWellsDoeActionFilmBeliefNaturalHorrorHuntersHuntsPrimalHorror FilmAction FilmsNatural LifeHunter GatherersPrimal Fear Author:Paul W.

“I never really thought I went away because I've written all of the movies and I'm produced them all and certainly provided services about and beyond the average producer on two and three. I was on set most of the films and called action and cut a lot of times and did all that good stuff.” TwoActionFilmThreeStuffCuttingWrittenAverageProducers Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
