Aquaman 2 Director James Wan Reveals Horror Movie Inspiration For The Lost Kingdom

For those who are unfamiliar with Planet of the Vampires, the Italian movie follows the surviving crew members from two spaceships that have crash-landed on an unexplored planet called Aura. The survivors soon find themselves hunted by the spirit-like inhabitants of Aura that have possessed their cohorts’ corpses. It’s been speculated that Ridley Scott was influenced by Planet of the Vampires for Alien and Prometheus, so assuming that’s true, James Wan is in good company channeling it for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
