affection genre gets horror involved understand
So many execs don't get or understand the horror genre, they're used to being involved with story or plot, and when they're in a genre that they don't get or have affection for, it gets difficult.
happen move production
My first move is always to try to get a production into Pittsburgh, but I don't know if that's going to happen anymore.
asia bucks couple love people saved worry
Obviously, we don't have the bucks for big stars, so I'll be saved from having to worry about that. There are a couple of people I'd love to get, Asia Argento being first and foremost. If I could get a couple people like that, I'd be thrilled.
hard monkeys work
Monkeys are ornery and hard to work with.
afraid exorcist far few hard ideas jaws
It's very hard to find The Exorcist or Jaws that will really get under your skin... Psycho... make you afraid to get in the shower. Those ideas are few and far between, rare.

It's still hard for me to get past the idea that the zombie were running around. They are supposed to be dead and all messed up.

It's a pretty frustrating biz right now, with all of the expansion and the companies taking other companies over, and all that. It's a bigger business than it ever was, and everybody's shooting for the moon. There's almost no such thing as a middle-ground movie anymore.
basically chance handled stand
It's basically always been the same, you know? It's just on a different level. You used to be able to at least stand a chance with a little film if it was handled well.
action crazy good gotta involving rather zombie
It's gotta be scary, obviously, but I don't want to go crazy with it. I don't want to make another zombie film. I'd rather make a good action film involving zombies.

When I grew up, there was no such thing as videotape, TV was B&W.

A lot of people say my work borrows from Hitchcock, but I think if I've stolen... of COURSE I've stolen, this is a parasitic medium... but if I'm parasitic of anyone it's Welles, and Michael Pal and Kazan... those are my guys. The James Whale stuff... I LOVE the old B&W movies, like classic paintings.
