In a weird way, riffing on genres is kind of a reaction to formula. When you watch so much of the programmers and the films that you just think you've seen before, it's kind of going back to the well in terms of trying to conjure up the spirit of what made you excited about films in the first place.

When I went to college, I discovered the Sega console, and 'Sonic the Hedgehog' became very dear to me.

There are things that are about the entire genre, so it's weird when you look on Wikipedia and people say, The scene where Angel grabs his fist is from Superman II, and you're thinking, Ummm, no it's not. Or, There's a shot from Matrix Revolutions. I'm thinking, I've only seen Matrix Revolutions once, and will never watch it ever aga

I think when I was getting into directing, or wanting to be a director, when I was a teenager, the two films that really inspired me were Raising Arizona and Evil Dead II. And in the case of the former, I thought, Wow. Why don't all comedies look like this? And then as I started doing comedy, particularly when I started doing it on TV...

I used to drink a lot of lager when I was younger, but I'm more of a wine drinker now, I guess. I feel daunted looking at full pints.

I've always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I've wanted to watch and wanted to make.

I used to stay up all night playing 'Resident Evil 2,' and it wouldn't stop until the sun came up. Then I'd walk outside at dawn's first light, looking at the empty streets of London, and it was like life imitating art. It felt like I'd stepped into an actual zombie apocalypse.

We like to imagine that Shaun is in George Romero's universe, that it's happening at the same time as the Pittsburgh outbreak.

Now I'm back in LA, it's high time to finish a little something I've been working on.

It's funny, my agent came up to us and said, That line, when Nicholas says, 'I'm gonna bust this thing wide open,' what film's that from? I said, I think it's from every film. It's just like you get into that kind of mode of generic dialogue, it's fun to do.
