So I thought I could make Aquaman a genre film, meaning a horror monster movie.
Well, as it turns out, Wan originally pitched the upcoming film to Warner Brothers and DC as – get this – a horror monster movie!
Wan originally pitched Aquaman as an “Aquaman versus sea monsters” flick inspired by the likes of John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and James Cameron (Aliens, The Abyss).
And all of that comes to a head this Christmas as Wan officially hits the mega-big time with his upcoming adaptation of DC’s Aquaman.
