Leave it to writer/director Brad Anderson to defy audience expectations. Though he's often been pigeonholed as 'the romantic-comedy guy' following the success of his first two features, The Darien Gap (1995) and his breakthrough hit, Next Stop Wonderland (1998), he's changing that rep with his latest two films. First up is the psychological thriller Session 9, followed closely by the romance with a sci-fi twist, Happy Accidents. Here, Anderson talks with MM about his conscious decision to cross genres and why he's looking forward to making a studio film.
