The entire sequence was animated in advance - therefore - due to the control of prep - we could determine the dimensions of each shot to create the “packed to the rafters” effect of the revellers prior to the carnage. We started with 150 avatars & it grew to 246 depicted on film.

The Collector doesn't directly take place in the "Saw-Niverse" - There is always a world in which it could, but we didn't ever intend it to be so. Thanks for the Q!

The razor blades were real... but dulled... I wanted to see my finger skin ripple under the pressure of Arkin's decision. In the test teaser... I forgot to dull the razors. OUCH.

"How did The Collector set up all of those traps so quickly?" Well, we had to, too. A van pulled up, dressed the set, one at a time, and so I timed it. It took 3 hours. Arkin is off screen in his thriller plot for an entire night. The van is a housing for pre-built dangers.

Thriller: Violence is more of a threat than an absolute. Suspense over physical violence. Horror: lives beyond the threat. The violence is an engine humming in the dark.

Josh Stewart is not only a consummate pro actor but a nature enthusiast - the idea in the body language was to create the dynamic of a Spider hunting a Fly. Josh will twitch, move in grace... while the Collector calmly sets up demise after demise even around his prey.

Diane Goldner not only acted in this movie but also acted in our concept reel for the film that also featured Clu Gulager as “Roy,” Tom Gulager as “Arkin,” and was shot by John Gulager who also directed 4 projects with us. The Gulagers are selfless teachers.

The OG Opening was a gated community with one dark house being checked on by a security officer. The song "Lunatic Fringe" is playing inside... the officer pushes open the front door and... BLOOD, BOOM, BAM! He ends up being blasted back and impaled on the gate.

The original opening scene was cut due to time/budget - So we invented our own at the home of a former Navy Seal in California. That house was special to us for it is the same home we shot most of the concept teaser that helped sell the film.

Andrea Roth - Funny, talented, and when she reflected the horror of the film… it hit home in a way that shaped our tone. We weren’t playing an exaggeration or a characterization of violence… when Andrea speaks… it felt so very real. Hence: No music. Just her and Josh.

To share “awesome “ with the world. To prove there is hope in being a misfit.
To reveal people who say nice things behind other’s backs exist.
And; To prove “Xtro” has every right to exist as “X-Men”... and just maybe... be surprised by the kindness we witness when rebels win.

Haley Pullos. Her eyes are the entire “Why?” Arkin is who he is and does what he does. Although not heavy on dialogue, the scene between Arkin and his child is why we had to shoot two weeks of this film on our own. It was the core. Not the violence. But without that core…

The opening credits is a testament to why I love film. Digital definitely has fine qualities but every filter, stock change (35 mm to 16 mm reversal Kodak stock), tilt-shift lens, macro shot of spider leg fibers… sing on film in a way that feels like painting .

I love it when Arkin shoves Larry back into the crate. It is Arkin still trying to live in the rules of a "Thriller" but the "Horror" movie characters keep popping up around him. That shove back into the crate is Arkin saying: "I can still be in a thriller!" Nope.

The name of "ARKIN" is inspired by actor Alan Arkin's character from WAIT UNTIL DARK. He played the heroin hunting predator, and his name is used in The Collector for the idea was: "What if that guy wasn't the worse person in the room?"
