• Wes Craven's Next Project: Romantic Comedy?
  

  In an interview to promote his contribution to Paris je t’aime, legendary horror director Wes Craven expressed his desire to enter the romantic comedy genre, adding that he even has a finished rom-com script ready to go.

  Craven, famous for such lighthearted romps as Swamp Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Hills Have Eyes, has occasionally strayed from the horror genre over the past decade. His non-slasher efforts include 1999’s Music of the Heart and 2005’s Red Eye.

  Check out our full-length interview with Craven.
