I don't call four hours a miniseries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to find the movie in the editing room, and it can't be four hours; it has to be two hours.
An hour series is a killer. It's hard on you physically.
Most people don't watch a movie four or five times; they watch it once.
There are all these great TV series; you can watch all these hours and hours of shows and ideas, but there's still something great about a movie that unfolds in a couple of hours, and you have the complete experience.
In a film you only get two hours to do this big arc and so you have to pick and choose your moments carefully, but with television you get to take your time and just take it episode by episode and discover new things.
It suits me to be in a series that takes ages to film.
I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.
When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do.
If you go to a bad movie, it's two hours. If you're in a bad movie, it's two years.
