- Anderson graduated from the University of Warwick as the youngest student to achieve a BA in Film & Literature.

- Paul WS 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. Not to be confused with Paul Thomas Anderson, although both have gone by merely Paul Anderson before.
- He directed the successful 1995 video game adaptation Mortal Kombat. While prior video game movies, like Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros, had been all-out disasters, Mortal Kombat was well received by fans, and some critics. He declined to direct the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation which was not well received by critics or fans. Anderson was asked to direct a third movie, Mortal Kombat: Devastation, but declined again.

Anderson was asked to direct a third movie, Mortal Kombat: Devastation, but declined again. The success of Mortal Kombat gave Anderson free reign to choose his next project, Soldier, written by Blade Runner screenwriter David Webb Peoples. Intended as a Sidequel to Blade Runner, the movie was set in the same universe (but not the same planet), and contained numerous references to Blade Runner. Kurt Russell was attached to star, but was unavailable at the time, which delayed the production. In the meantime, Anderson made Event Horizon Event Horizon, which took the premise of the classic sci-fi novel and film Solaris, but filled it with Hellraiser-style horror scenes. The film was poorly received at the box office, and Anderson blamed the failure on studio-enforced cuts. While not a box-office success, the film gained a small cult following.
- Paul WS 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. Not to be confused with Paul Thomas Anderson, although both have gone by merely Paul Anderson before.
- Prior to signing on as director, Anderson wrote a screenplay for the film that ultimately chosen over the script written by George A.

In 2009, it was announced that Anderson would direct Resident Evil: Afterlife and later in August 2011, its sequel Resident Evil: Retribution. During the production of Resident Evil he entered a relationship with actress Milla Jovovich and in August 2009 the two were married. On November 3, 2007, the two welcomed a daughter, Ever Gabo Anderson.

Soldier was eventually completed and released in 1998, and was a disaster both commercially and critically. After the poor performance of both Event Horizon and Soldier, Anderson was forced to think smaller. His planned remake of the cult film Death Race 2000 was put on hold, and he set about writing and directed a TV movie, The Sight, in 2000. It was a minor success, and Anderson returned to cinema screens in 2002 when he wrote and directed an adaptation of the survival horror series Resident Evil. It was at this point that, to avoid confusion to the American director Paul Thomas Anderson], he began to credit himself as "Paul W. S. Anderson." Working with a moderate budget in comparison to his other movies, Resident Evil was a commercial success in cinemas and on DVD , prompting Anderson to write (but not direct) the sequels, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction. Anderson's next project was the much-anticipated Alien vs. Predator, a concept popularized by a series of Dark Horse Comics and later hinted at in Predator 2. A movie version had been stuck in development for years despite the franchise crossing into every other form of media, from books to comics to video games. The fact Alien vs. Predator was being made at all was enough to get many fans of the originals onboard as soon as the project was greenlighted. Some, however, were unhappy with the choice of Anderson as the writer and director, and had the opposite reaction, writing it off as a failure before it had even entered production.
