I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft. Fede Alvarez bigcraftfan Change image and share on social
I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake. An example is, of course, stuff like 'The Fly,' or 'The Thing,' or even 'The Blob.' For our generation, all those things, whether it was 'The Blob' or 'The Fly' or something else, we had no idea they were remakes. Fede Alvarez blobfindfly share on social
As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining. Fede Alvarez directentertainmovie Change image and share on social
If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away. Thank God no one in the 'Evil Dead' family thinks that way. Fede Alvarez baddeaddemand Change image and share on social
I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy. Fede Alvarez actaspectenjoy Change image and share on social
A good story will keep you wondering about what's happening, what's going on, where does this go? Now it's going to go that way, now it's going to go that way. It has to do that. If it's predictable, it's just boring. Fede Alvarez boregoodhappen share on social
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that. Fede Alvarez cgicheapfast Change image and share on social
As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience. Fede Alvarez audiencecontroldirector Change image and share on social
If you think about it, you can have the best CGI, but you can always tell that it is CGI. Your brain can spot that is not real even though you think it looks cool. Your brain knows the truth, so you don't jump and you don't scream. It was very important for me to expose the audience to real elements. Fede Alvarez audiencebraincgi share on social
I have my pride. I'm a director. I'm not going to go and recreate some other director's vision. Fede Alvarez directorpriderecreate Change image and share on social
