Jon Watts Quotes

I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.

I was skeptical about doing Texas Chainsaw at first because it's such a cult classic. I'd seen some of the sequels and was not a fan of those.

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 huge fan of science fiction, horror, and fantasy films.

I would love to do some type of action feature. That's my goal. A really cool, Transformers-type feature would be awesome.

'Insidious 2' is a direct continuation of the first movie. We literally pick up from where we left off at the end of the first film. And whereas the first movie is a twist on the haunted house genre, the second movie is a twist on the classic domestic thriller.

I would love to do another 'Jack Reacher' movie.

I saw 'Predators.' That was pretty good, actually.

The first time I re-discovered the joy of watching an action movie was when I saw 'Die Hard.' It was a completely simple plot - a guy goes to meet his wife, and the building gets taken over by terrorists - but I was completely blown away. Great characters, and it moved along really fast.

I wanna try doing a movie similar to 'The Walking Dead,' an action-horror, or something similar to 'Lara Croft.'

When 'Run Lola Run' came out, the thing about it was it was a very fast-paced film.

I'm into zombie movies like 'World War Z' and the shows 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Walking Dead.'

For me, to get to play an action hero in a science fiction film is a marriage of two genres that I'm a huge fan of.

I enjoy watching movies that are high concept or science fiction or have supernatural elements, like '2:22' has.

I'm just the second Bodhi. I think there will be more. I have the feeling this is only the first re-imagination of 'Point Break'.

The greats are 'The Shining', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'Don't Look Now', 'The Exorcist' - those movies were not really slashers: they were about psychological terror and had very deep emotional backdrops. If we do our best, '6 Miranda Drive' can be that kind of a movie.

With most other genres, you need movie stars. With horror, you just need a story.

If you look to the few films that have been really successful, 'Insidious,' 'Paranormal Activity,' it's all basically the old monsters.

'The Conjuring' was a massive success, and honestly, it set the bar quite high. So I was nervous about making the sequel, and I wasn't sure if it will still have the same impact as the first one did. But that's what moved me to make the sequel.

I don't want to be in 'Expendables 5.' You can keep those kind of movies.

Still one of my favorite movies is the original 'The Haunting.' I love that style.

There are very few horror films that I think are worth their salt.

I'm a huge horror film and sci-fi fan.

I have had a lifelong fascination with horror movies, scary movies, how they work.

I do like sci-fi, absolutely. I've watched everything from 'Star Trek' to 'Star Wars' to 'Terminator' - the list goes on and on.
