If the script is right, I'm not above doing a movie with broad appeal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I read a script and I like it, there's nothing that will stop me from trying to be in that movie.
But when you're writing a script - for me anyway - you have to sort of create an enforced innocence. You have to divest yourself of worrying about a lot of stuff like what movies are hot, what movies are not hot, what the budget of this movie might be.
No other aspect of filmmaking has tempted me to do a film other than the script and the story itself.
Any film I do needs to excite me at a script level.
If the script is good, the cast and director good, I'll go anywhere.
I think the first thing I consider is whether I like the script. Once that is done, the next thing I look for is my part in the movie. Many a times you come across good offers, but the part they are offering might not be challenging. So, I don't take up that film.
For me, the script is important. If it excites me, I'll do the film.
A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.
I have always thought if you are going to make a film, it's much better to have an original script that will play to film's strengths.
It's never a script that makes me decide to accept a film or not.
