We live in an age when it is cheaper to buy the rights to movies than to make them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Movies are an expensive business.
Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.
It is extremely difficult to get movies that cost more than $40 million to be made these days.
Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.
I'm not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.
In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family.
The budgets are much higher now, it costs more to make a movie and the kids that go to see them are into instant gratification. They want things bigger and bigger. I don't make those kind of movies. I make movies about relationships.
Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.
We've been remarkably lucky in that we've been free to make the movies we've wanted to make the way we've wanted to make them. They've all been made for a price.
It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.
