“ I come from an auteur filmmaker country where people like Herzog come from. I’m not supposed to make a remake from the horror genre. So for me it was a very frustrating time to get my first movie in America. I was a music video filmmaker and I’d just get certain type of scripts, like House Party and stuff like that. That was the reality of that. And then one day I had Texas Chainsaw Massacre sent to me. I actually got really mad at my agent because I didn’t want to make a remake, I wanted to do something authentic, something that comes out of me and tells people who I am.”
