Paul W. S. Anderson’s 5 most popular quotes
- The other video game adaptation I did was Mortal Kombat, and I did that because I loved playing the games in the arcade. I play all of the Resident Evil games because I’m very much immersed in that world.
- One of the reasons why Resident Evil is a very successful video game franchise, much more so than a lot of others that have fallen by the wayside, is that they have constantly evolved.
- When that technology becomes widespread and it’s on every car on the freeways, it’s going to save so many lives. Especially in America, so many people get killed in these multi-car pileups on the freeways.
- If you work with any new technology, you have to expect that it’s going to be a little problematic.
- There was a lot of pressure on me as a filmmaker to raise the bar and do better than before so, you know, I put a lot of thought and energy, that’s for sure.
