I remember watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail and just being like, “I think these shots of actors are put together in some way to generate effect and I want to do that.” And when I went off to film school, I actually majored in cinematography and photography because I thought I was going to have to shoot my own movies I figured I couldn’t afford to hire anyone and that was probably accurate. I’ve always wanted to direct movies ever since I understood that it was a thing, which was fairly early in my childhood. The answer to that, honestly, has more to do with practical considerations than creative. So what prompted you to direct your first feature? What made this the right time? In a recent conversation with THR, Barrett also discusses his own lack of interest in the supernatural, the unlikelihood of a The Guest sequel and potentially reuniting with You’re Next star Sharni Vinson. In my mind, the sense of humor is very similar.” So in a way, I’m hoping that anyone who wants a sequel to The Guest will find that our Face/Off 2 completely scratches that itch for them. “So much of Face/Off is in The Guest, including the whole narrative arc of the butterfly knife. “One of the purest loves that Adam and I both understand is our love of the film Face/Off, and I think we have the right sensibility,” Barrett explains. After all, Face/Off was a key influence on the Dan Stevens thriller. Barrett is also shedding some light on the project and how it might satisfy those who’ve been clamoring for a sequel to their 2014 cult hit, The Guest. In February, it was reported that Barrett and Wingard were developing a direct sequel to John Woo’s 1997 action classic, Face/Off, which Wingard later discussed with THR in March. How hard would it be to get a low-budget horror movie financed?’ And the answer is incredibly difficult. “So that’s when I was like, ‘I need to write something for myself to direct. There’s no reason for me to be here,'” Barrett tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I was just sitting at monitors on the set of The Guest, watching Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe do good work, and thinking, ‘I’m totally useless. Once Barrett and Wingard started making bigger and bigger movies, Barrett’s urge to direct came from a place of wanting to contribute more during production, something he’d become accustomed to during their stretch in micro-budget indies.
