Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The only downside to really enjoying Wake Up Dead Man is that it's hard not to get annoyed thinking about how fun it would have been to see it in a theater.
