Something original or mining from old film trends? I feel like he tries to figure out when certains film concepts peaked and recapture what worked.
It's hard to imagine what sub-genre of horror he'd go with, but hopefully hard lessons learned from Deathproof.
I don't recall him using much in the way of any CGI or Visual FX, though I guess if he really does a Star Trek he'd have to get used to that while probably balancing it with old school makeup FX.
