Paul W.S. Anderson, the filmmaker who helmed MORTAL KOMBAT, SOLDIER, and the RESIDENT EVIL films, sits down for an interview to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult classic EVENT HORIZON.
Anderson is known for his American debut, Mortal Kombat (1995), the film based on the fighting videogame which eventually became a hit worldwide, despite the critic's poor reviews, and launched Anderson into the spotlight.
Lightening didn't strike twice, however, as his next sci-fi film, Event Horizon (1997) flopped at the box office. He tried again with Solider (1998) but once again fell short. Starting off the new millennium, Anderson went the deeper into videogame-turned-film genre and directed Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil (2002), followed by Alien Vs. Predator (2004). Again, at best, his films received mixed reviews, but he and Jovovich returned to the Resident Evil franchise three more times, directing Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017). In between the sci-fi/fantasy films, he also directed the epic Pompeii (2014), which once again, received poor reviews.
During the interview, Anderson talks about the edginess of 90s filmmaking, how to be successful when adapting a video game into a movie, and how if EVENT HORIZON was made today, it would be a completely different film.
