When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
Certain actors wanna get paid, they think working in a low-budget movie is being ripped off. But for others it's like, 'Yes, let's do it.'
My taste in films doesn't lead financers to think they are going to make a zillion dollars.
A lot of things and a lot of money is involved in a movie. It is very upsetting when a movie doesn't fare well at the box-office.
I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
The issue often with films is how it works with money and trying to get a visible movie star presence in the film.
They spend an awful lot of money on I-don't-know-what in Hollywood movies; I certainly didn't get any of it. But they sure do love spending money.
I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.
Making movies has become such a golden ring, and it's all such a big business, that the rewards system has gotten totally out of whack. Suddenly, you're treated in a manner befitting someone who is actually an important person.
