I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.
If you have a flop movie, so what? And if you have a hit movie, it's 'so what,' too - it's on to the next movie.
Friends told me not to bother with the silents - they're jerky, poorly photographed and ludicrously badly acted. But I was immediately struck by the freshness and vitality of these films.
Making a big commercial movie is hard when you think about how many of them flop.
Personally, I'm not too fond of remakes.
Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
I'll be a flop in movies. Besides, I don't like 'em, and I never did believe there was a place called Hollywood. Somebody made it up!
For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now.
I just want my films to work. The hit or flop verdict really affects me. I seriously analyse what went wrong if a film turns out to be a dud!
