The long and short of it is that I am now in a position in England to green light movies, and that's really excellent - not high-budget movies, but movies none the less.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've love to do more movies. Just because I'm interested in the medium very much. I've done a lot of theatre at this point, and I've done a lot of TV. I've done a few independent films, but a lot of them have not seen the light of day. It'd be really nice to be in a film that gets out there.
I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.
I've realized that what you think of when you make a 'big movie,' if it's actually a green screen movie, it's like doing independent New York theater because you don't have any backgrounds or props. So it's kind of like making the lowest budgeted film you could possibly imagine, plus $100 million.
I tend to not think about the kind of movie things I want to be doing, because I've worked in all sorts of different places, and I've spent all sorts of time in England, and I'd still do things in Australia and in America.
Now it really is, believe it or not, 90% of the films are green lit, not by the studio heads, but by the marketing department.
Nowadays, to get a movie greenlit, you have to make an incredible effort.
I've always been interested in making movies.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.
