"No. He was, as writer, very present in the first two. When there was discussion of changing lines and stuff or standing on something, he was very involved with that," she said. "I know he's really excited about directing it. I'm very excited to have him direct it. No one knows the franchise, the story and the feel of the film more than Leigh and James [Wan]. They still are the creators basically so I think it's very exciting to have Leigh step into this next step of his career and create something special. I'm looking forward to creating something special with him."
