'''Paul WSW.S. Anderson''' is an English director and producer. He has largely stayed in the realm of being a Journeyman Director, basically someone called in to make a movie under the direction of the suits. While that might earn some derision as someone who "makes someone elses' movie," he has taken those movies that could easily become merely a paycheck and turned them into something rather watchable and surprisingly entertaining.
 
He has carved out a niche in the business of being hard-working and staying within budget. His first major breakthrough was directing the first ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' movie, which managed to get some major critics supporting it, appeal to a mainstream audience and make it's money back. Today the movie is regarded as a bit of a [[Cult Classic]]. He has since been involved with several other video-game inspired movies, all with a similar degree of respect.
Line 8:
Not to be confused with [[Paul Thomas Anderson]], although both have gone by merely Paul Anderson before.
