A conversation with Paul W.S. Anderson about the film "In the Lost Lands" has been published, but the phrase "be careful what you wish for" is also being used in various other contexts, including reviews, sports commentary, and discussions on tax reform and technology. The phrase appears to be a common warning or cautionary statement being applied to different topics. It is unclear if these uses are related to the original conversation with Paul W.S. Anderson or simply a coincidence.
