“I love Death Race, it's one of my favorite films. I thought, "You know what? All that two years worth of work is now gong to be wasted because I'm highly unlikely to direct another car movie straight away," and I felt at that point there was no one who was kind of better at shooting cars, so I thought rather than let it go to waste I would explore the idea of doing commercials, and that's what I did.” KnowsYearsKindTwoIdeasFilmFeltRaceCarWasteDirectMy FavoriteShootingTwo YearsUnlikelyLet It GoLove DeathGongsDeath Race Author:Paul W.

“The way it works in commercials is they come to you with the script and then you do the visual, you do the storyboards, and you give your vision of it, but it's very much their baby. You just kind of put your polish and sheen on it, and you're interpretation of it, but it's very much the agency's idea.” WayGivingKindIdeasVisionBabyScriptsAgencyVisualsInterpretationPolish Author:Paul W.

“I'm a very collaborative person, so that's not the way I work any way. Once VW got over the idea that I was going to blow their cars up, then we shot the thing really fast and it came out really good. Like I said, it won a bunch of awards and that really was the start of working in commercials.” WayPersonsSaidIdeasCarShotsBlowBunchAwards Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“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.

“For me, it's a multitude of things. In the modern world, there's a real genuine fear of loss of individuality and I think the undead speak to that. I also think the idea of the dead coming back to life, and this unstoppable foe that just keeps coming and coming, but rather slowly just chases you, is a real primal fear. It's like a fear of claustrophobia, heights or water.” ThinkingWorldIdeasRealSpeakWaterLossModernIndividualityGenuineHeightMultitudesComing BackFoeModern WorldPrimalUnstoppableUndeadClaustrophobiaPrimal Fear Author:Paul W.

“The idea of doing a period movie, some people say, "Isn't it odd that you're doing a period movie? That's a change of pace for you." And, I'm like, "Not really." When you're doing a science fiction movie, it's almost exactly the same.” PeopleIdeasFictionPeriodsScience FictionOddPaceScience Fiction Movie Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
