This year marks the 25th anniversary of Event Horizon, Paul W.S. Anderson‘s sci-fi horror movie from 1997. Anderson directed the movie in the wake of 1995’s Mortal Kombat, and he subsequently went on direct films including Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Resident Evil: Retribution, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, and Monster Hunter.

But there’s something different about Event Horizon, a full-on horror movie nightmare that’s quite unlike the action-horror movies Anderson went on to helm. And speaking with Variety in a new interview that just ran this week, Anderson has teased a return to those roots!

Anderson tells the site, “I’m actually planning to do a kind of straight horror movie in the near future. It’s something I’ve always been interested in. My career has gone more in an action direction, but it’s always been kind of scary action. I’ve always tried for some great jumps, even in the PG-13 movies I’ve made.

“But I would like to embrace doing a more full-on horror movie, absolutely — one that works more on a psychological level, a return to what “Event Horizon” was,” Anderson continues.

Up next from Paul W.S Anderson is a film titled In the Lost Lands, which to be clear is not the project he’s referring to here. Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautisa will star in the film, which begins production later this year. That one has been described as a family-friendly adventure movie.

In Anderson’s In the Lost Lands, “A queen, desperate to obtain the gift of shape shifting, makes a daring play: she hires the sorceress Gray Alys (Jovovich), a woman as feared as she is powerful. Sent to the ghostly wilderness of the “Lost Lands,” Alys and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon in a fable that is said to explore the nature of good and evil, debt and fulfillment, love and loss.”
