Ti West talks Haunting in Georgia and Innkeepers

In a recent interview, Ti West (who Killer Film has interviewed twice before-here and here) stated on why he had to back out at directing the Haunting in Connecticut quasi-sequel, Haunting in Georgia:

“We got to the point where we were making different movies, and it was like I don’t want to risk us realizing that so late in the game. It’s also important for me to write and direct my own movies and edit them, so with this MPI-Glass Eye Pix thing, I can do that. The Innkeepers can be my own movie, and [to do that] as long as I can do that is important.”

Can’t blame the guy for wanting the things he wants. Plus, maybe he learned his lesson from the drama on the set of Cabin Fever 2? Hey, at least he wants to attempt original ideas. We really enjoyed his House of the Devil.

“I realize how personal the movies are to me through all of that. I don’t know – the Cabin Fever thing, I’m not emotionally connected to it anymore, but it was super hard when it happened. That fact that the silver lining was to get an Alan Smithee credit was terrible, and I’m not proud of how that worked out. I don’t dislike the people. I don’t know – I thought it could have been a really good movie, and I realized it couldn’t any more, and what are you supposed to do?”
