“I think people were a little nervous to work with me to start with, because the movies I've done they thought that I wouldn't be able to control myself at all. I'd have to blow up the cars or something like that, and I think also people are scared of working sometimes with feature directors, because they feel like you're not going to listen to their opinions.” PeopleThinkingFeelsLittlesSometimesDoneAbleOpinionCarLike YouDirectorsScaredBlowNervousFeaturesControl Myself Author:Paul W.

“Commercials are also any opportunity to meet new crew and work with new kind of rigs. You can explore working with different people without having to make the full commitment of having to do an entire feature film with them and see whether you like them. Also it's great for testing out new equipment, like on the last spot we just did, I used a lot of drone technology, really cutting edge drone stuff, more than I've ever done before, and it worked out really really well.” PeopleWellsKindDifferentDoneLastsFilmUsedOpportunityStuffTechnologyCuttingCommitmentEdgesSpotsFeaturesCrewEquipmentTestingDifferent PeoplesDronesCutting EdgeRigs Author:Paul W.

“When that technology becomes widespread and it's on every car on the freeways, it's going to save so many lives. Especially in America, so many people get killed in these multi-car pileups on the freeways.” PeopleAmericaTechnologyCarFreeways Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“Interestingly it's when you come to the comedy, that's where a lot of the discussion is. It's like ten people sitting around talking about what is funny. "Is that funny? Is that funnier than that? Is this slightly funnier than this?" I guess that's what it's like when you're making a comedy movie as well, you just have to sit around talking seriously about the nature of comedy.” PeopleWellsTalkingComedyTenSittingDiscussionSitting AroundComedy Movie 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.

“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
“I find it terribly distracting in movies when people do accents, I must say, unless it's terribly serious and the story is rooted in South Africa and you're doing a South African accent. But in period movies I think nothing can be more distracting than people doing accents.” PeopleThinkingSeriousSouth Africa Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
