Hopefully Wong is doing his best to pull off a good movie with a believable story & believable effects. I want to spend $5 on something that's going to rock my socks.

Here's an interesting interview with James Wong for Final Destination 3. I only post this because it shows his personality.
Q: So what is your role as producer [for black christmas]. I know some producers are more hands-on that others.

James Wong: I sit around the set and say "Hey, do you want to do this?" [laughter] I'm producing which means there's a responsibility for me to help Glen in whatever way he needs. There's a responsibility for me to sort of oversee the movie and make sure that all the parts that should be there, will be there on the screen in terms of themes and the characters and how they're brought out and stuff. So it's not as much of a hands-on situation obviously. I think that I have a lot to contribute to that.

Q: So what's the tone? Is it slasher, is it psychological…?

James Wong: I would say it probably edges more towards slasher. But I think there is psychological elements to it.

Q: What do you think of the recent trend of torture? I think that torture is the new Samara… You know, it used to be ghosts, now it's torture.

James Wong: I'm not so comfortable with it. I don't really like those movies that much. I don't enjoy watching those. I think FD3 is how I'd like to watch a horror movie, which is sort of more entertaining and sort of suspenseful and "How are they going to do this?" versus ...I really don't like the idea of torture. It's just not my gig. It's not the way I like to approach horror.

Q: There's a lot of directors who are doing it quite well nowadays. Did you see Hostel or The Devil's Rejects?

James Wong: I haven't seen those, but Glen had. I know what they're going to be about, so I sort of didn't need to see them.

Q: What kind of movies do you like to see just as a fan?

James Wong: I've always liked like sci-fi movies, I like scary movies but not the ...the last movie I liked horror-wise was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I thought it was well done. I like action, sci-fi ... that kind of movie.

I'm a fan of almost all kinds of movies. When I was in film school I never thought I'd be doing horror movies. But then I never thought I was going to write sci-fi either, although I read a lot of sci-fi when I was a kid. But we started out doing kind of cop or dramatic teenage kind of shows. So I'm hoping to be surprised at the next venture.

I see him being in control of what he wants, he does it his way, and that's what I like about him being the director of Dragonball. And he stood up against Fox to make King Piccolo more true to the original look, by keeping his over-all creepiness and age...can you believe Fox wanted to make him look beautiful? Dumb****s, they have no idea what they're doing, so I'm glad we have people working with this like James Wong, and especially Marsters, who is in favor of keeping it true to the original material and other stuff as well, not to mention he seems to be a diehard DBZ fan and very enthusiastic to play K. Piccolo.

Though editing time he will have no control. I have heard that fox signs a contract with 90% of the directors that they will decide what the running time will be and the director has to follow it.
