Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of James Wan into the ol’ VCR.
On February 26, 1977, James Wan was born in Malaysia.
When he was in elementary school, his family moved to Perth, Western Australia.
I couldn’t find a whole lot of information about James Wan’s early life outside of the fact that he went to Lake Tuggeranong College and then graduated from RMIT University.
Then, in 2004, James Wan and Leigh Whannel brought one of the most iconic horror movies of all time to the big screen: Saw. Additionally, he and Whannel would go on to executive produce all of the following sequels in the franchise, with James Wan also co-writing Saw III.
From there, James Wan would go on to direct, co-create, produce, and, simply, bring to life some of the best franchises and horror movies ever, including The Conjuring and Insidious franchises, and one of my personal recent favorites, Malignant—not to mention founding Atomic Monster.
And, lest we forget, James Wan also directed Furious 7 (but we’re not going to talk about his dalliances with Aquaman).
There’s not much more that I can say about James Wan that hasn’t already been said.
James, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite James Wan content*:
*Note: Similar to Jordan Peele’s spotlight, I’m pulling from all the content James Wan has been a part of, not just the content he’s directed.
