The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The movies have a way of seeping out there over time. We don't put them in 2,000 theaters. It wouldn't work that way.
For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.
Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.
I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie.
Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.
Movies don't sit in the theaters for an entire summer like they did in 1982. Now you've got a two- or three-week shelf life so you need to have that awareness right off the bat. And in order to make a lot of people know about your movie, you need to be out there banging the drum and showing your stuff.
When you do a movie, you don't know when it's going to come out. In a year, you forget about it.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that's why they go to movies and the theatre.
