I love the genre.

Its endlessly malleable, and so it holds endless possibilities.

But at the same time, I have made three of them in a row.

Its a totally different genre.

One of the things I love about the mystery genre is that it holds the whodunit.

Like sci-fi, it encompasses so many other types of genres.

‘Wake Up Dead Man,’ this next movie, is so different than ‘Glass Onion.’

Its like night and day.

And so, as long as we keep doing that, its exciting."
