I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.
From John Curran
A film is different than a script. The text of the script is what it is.
In my experience, not just in shooting films but in the commercials I've done, initially, it's very exciting for the community, and its a real novelty. Very quickly, though, they realize there's a buck to be had, and it becomes annoying, and they lose their patience pretty quick.
Like a lot of films at the end of 2008, they hit a wall with financing, which is why I moved back onto 'Stone.' In doing so, I had to let go of 'The Beautiful and the Damned,' to at least give them an opportunity to move forward with somebody else.
The worst thing for a filmmaker is for a film to be labeled as pretentious or heavy-handed.
