Wes Anderson wants to make a horror movie & a Christmas movie

PanARMENIAN.Net - After Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, where does Wes Anderson go next? The answer, it seems, is somewhere dark - or somewhere snowy - as he's hinted a horror or Christmas film may be on the cards, Digital Spy reports.

Currently working on an as-yet unnamed stop motion film about dogs (no, really), Anderson was speaking to author Donna Tartt at the Rome Film Festival when he made the startling revelations:

"I have thought of doing a horror movie, and I have thought of doing a Christmas movie. With the kind of movies I do, you're supposed to say is this part supposed to be funny, or is this part supposed to be sad? Well, you say, I don't know. I'm not sure. This is the way we wanted it.

"When you make a horror or a thriller, you say you're supposed to be scared here. You're supposed to be relieved here. Here we're explaining something so you know the next part, so you'll be more scared then. I like the idea of the requirements and the obligations of working in a genre like that. I've done some scenes like that, but I'd like to do a scary movie."

Wes Anderson saying "I'd like to do a scary movie" is something we never thought would happen, but there you have it.

Of course, he didn't end things there, because when you're Wes Anderson talking about making a horror or a holiday film, you should be allowed as much time as possible:

"The good thing with a Christmas movie - if you make a great Christmas song or movie or book, as Dickens showed us, you can make a huge fortune, because they come back every year. As long as you have a piece of the action, then it's a perennial."

So there you have it: if you thought Wes Anderson wasn't concerned about the money side of the movie-making business, think again. He's all about the dollar bills, y'all.

Saturday Night Live fans might remember the sketch featuring Edward Norton (playing Owen Wilson) where Anderson supposedly made a horror movie called The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders.
