He is directing “Fast & Furious 7”, expected for launch in 2015. The movie started its American theatrical release in the very first weekend of April 2011 and reached third place in the box office, having an estimated USD13.5 million in ticket revenue. Starring Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Barbara Hershey, the movie was made alone, as Wan sought entire creative control and additionally wished to create a movie that has been noticeably distinctive from the gore that he’d become interchangeable with expected to Saw. Wan said in a interview, “the fact that Insidious wasn’t being run by means of a committee actually afforded me the luxury to create a movie with a lot of creepy, weird seconds that the studio mightn’t ‘get.'” Both Wan and Whannel said they wished to use techniques including restraint and quiet to produce a horror movie, much like The Sixth Sense, The Others and David Lynch’s movies. After the launch of Insidious, Wan disclosed in a interview, in respect to his career past the movie: “I definitely do need to test in other genres, or make pictures in other genres because I adore, Leigh and I’ve, we are not only horror buffs. We are movie buffs. I really like action films. I’d like to do action films. I wish to do romantic comedies. I really like all this things. Therefore, if I locate the great content, I Will get it done.”
Not many people realize this, but I'm a really squeamish guy. When I watch other horror films that are really over-the-top with their blood and guts, I cannot watch it. So if my threshold to something on-screen is at that level, you can imagine how my threshold is to all the pain and suffering that is happening in the real world.

We think craft is important, and the irony has always been that horror may be disregarded by critics, but often they are the best-made movies you're going to find in terms of craft. You can't scare people if they see the seams.

I can't point anything specific out, but I'm a big David Lynch fan, he's a big influence on Saw, and another director I truly admire as well, is an Italian, Dario Argento? These two guys have a big impact on us, Deep Red, Lost Highway.

When we handed in our first cut, the Sundance version, we were essentially told the film was too intense. Really? I'm going to be penalized for doing what I'm supposed to do as a director? I think they have a problem with the 'tone' as well. How do you cut 'tone'? How do you censor 'tone'?

[on 'Saw'] That was part of my aesthetic that I was going for. I wanted to make the film really claustrophobic, and one way I was going to do that was, every time we go to a new location, I'm not going to set it up using an establishing shot. You don't see a house, and then cut to the inside of the house. You cut to inside, to inside, to inside.
