I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.

As a director you're always so busy - you're go, go, go, you're always moving, moving, moving - so I'm not actually privy to all the weird stuff that's happening around me, but for a lot of the cast and crew, that's what I hear stories from them about weird stuff happening.

There's two aspects of film crafting that I'm very strict about, and that's how I move my camera and where I cut the film.

I think I'm a very sentimental person. Conscious or not, that's what draws me to the kind of films I want to make.

I'm a big fan of the 'Fast' franchise. I remember when I met Neal Moritz early on, I joked if Justin Lin ever left the franchise, I would be the perfect guy to slip right in and take over, and no one would know the difference.

I'm a student of cinema in general, not just of one particular genre. So it was very important to me and to my soul to go out and do something different.

I hope people will like 'The Conjuring 2' because I think it is a very natural and organic progression of the first movie.

I'm a big fan of cel animation, I'm a big fan of computer animation, and, most of all, I'm a big fan of stop-motion animation.

I love Carpenter, I love Craven - these are all the classics - the Romeros of the world, but I think the biggest influence on me as a storyteller and as a filmmaker is actually Steven Spielberg. I love that even though Steven isn't known for being a horror director, he started out his career making scary movies.

James Wan 22 quotes

Up until 'Fast and Furious 7,' every movie I've made has been a film that I've created, franchises that I've created.

James Wan 22 quotes

I think, in a lot of ways, directing is puppeteering. I guess I see a lot of analogies between what puppeteers and filmmakers do. There's something about creating life out of things that have no life.

James Wan 22 quotes

I love high concept movies, b...

I love high concept movies, but they can only work if the source of inspiration is really human - if they're driven by pain and strong emotions. Once you connect the audience with that, then I swear you can take them on the craziest journey, and they'll come along.

James Wan 22 quotes

We all agreed that violence b...

We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.

That's the thing about Aquaman that's cool is he's not an alien, right? He's from our planet, and he's from a society that we're not privy to in the context of the story.

James Wan 22 quotes

That's the problem: when you ...

That's the problem: when you make movies, I find that I never have time to go to the movies and enjoy movies like I used to because I'm so movied out, right? I'm so filmed out that the last thing that I wanna do is, with the little spare time that I have, is stick in a dark room and watch more stuff on the screen.

James Wan 22 quotes

I've always loved action movies. The first films I fell in love with were 'Star Wars' and Steven Spielberg films.

James Wan 22 quotes

I'm such an action movie junk...

I'm such an action movie junkie that as an action fan, because action scenes are so heightened, we could never really picture ourselves in that scene. So when you're watching an action movie, you experience an action movie more outside of the aquarium: you know you're out of the aquarium looking in at all the swimming fish that are in there.

'Saw' was good and bad. It was good in that it gave me a career start, but it was also negative in that it really marginalized me as a filmmaker.

James Wan 22 quotes

It's very difficult to get an audience to be terrified of what's going on. Think about it: You're in a room with so many other people, so for them to be terrified and to care about what's going on on-screen takes a lot of work.

It kind of irks me that the studio films still have to be so safe even though they don't really cost as much to make.
