The average movie-goer in this country sees six films in a year. That's one every two months. What the studios are trying to do is make sure it's their movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The typical output deal from a studio is 10 to 14 movies a year.
A movie shoots six months for two hours of film.
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.
A lot of films come out before they're finished.
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck, it's nothing.
I am always surprised at what movie studios think people will want to see. I'm even more surprised at how often they are correct.
The Disney Channel puts out movies, like, every couple of months.
When you do a movie, you don't know when it's going to come out. In a year, you forget about it.
But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.
Nowadays the big Hollywood studios only make about three movies a year, and they cost about $200 million each. There's no room for error in that, and not a lot of room, I would think, for free expression.
