Wes Anderson (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom) is one hell of a director. The thought of him making a horror movie has me kind of giddy! I mean, I can see it now…
This spells great news for the genre if it should happen, and as it turns out, it’s a real possibility. IndieWire caught up with Anderson, who had this to say regarding crafting a tale of terror…
“I have thought of doing a horror movie…. Horror is an area where if a filmmaker really wants to use all the tricks, the techniques to affect your emotions… With the kind of movies I do, you’re supposed to say is this part supposed to be funny, or is this part supposed to be sad? Well, you say, I don’t know. I’m not sure. This is the way we wanted it. When you make a horror or a thriller, you say you’re supposed to be scared here. You’re supposed to be relieved here. Here we’re explaining something so you know the next part so you’ll be more scared then. I like the idea of the requirements and the obligations of working in a genre like that. I’ve done some scenes like that, but I’d like to do a scary movie.”
Stay tuned!
