James Wan is at the top of the horror world

James Wan's Insidious Chapter 2 is a sure number #1 weekend box office winner. There is no way the competition will even get close. This Insidious sequel will make at least $40 million and reach as high as $50 million. Friday the 13th is a huge selling point, especially for a super popular original movie that is now scaring up movie audiences with a second chapter.

An interesting James Wan interview surfaced on a movie website all about making movie headlines. In this interview, Wan shares some interesting points such as how he designs his movies by experiencing real scares in the dark (he uses this technique to scare movie fans in scenes) and him wanting to explore The Beauty and the Beast adaptation that he hopes to remake one day.

James Wan is a talented director who is going to make Fast and Furious 7 next year. He has already enjoyed great success making the original Saw and 2011's sleeper hit Insidious. The Conjuring put Wan on a movie pedestal, though the second Insidious is likely going to carve out an opening weekend much larger than his previous movies.

Astral projection helped to sell movie tickets for Insidious. Most movie fans probably asked what is astral projection? This unawareness with astral projection created popularity of an under utilized sub-genre. Without including astral projection in Insidious Chapter 2, this may adversely impact the film for the long haul. We have to wait and see where Insidious 2 takes us. Enjoy watching Insidious Chapter 2 on Friday the 13th (9-13-13).

James Wan is separating himself from previous horror masters. He is becoming a student of his own mastery in a genre he now possesses. We expect Wan to deliver this success in other types of movies.
