I'm so happy when someone does something original, and there's no focus group or planning committee. If the cinema doesn't get an injection of that once in a while, we're in trouble.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.
What's nice about what we have is when you enter the set, the world of film, it becomes this real cocoon, very different from all the publicity. That's the fun part.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.
It's a harder time to make original, less conventional movies. But God, we need them!
You hear again and again that audiences want to see movies that are different, and critics say we make the same thing again and again in Hollywood, then you go and make something different, and you get kicked in the gut for it.
Every film has to be the next something else; originality isn't celebrated because you can't market it.
Our responsibility as filmmakers is to make things that are fresh, unique and original.
The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.
All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy.
I think the executives at the studios today realize that it's easier and safer to go the - to some known territory which is a remake of a successful film. It's less chancy than taking a fresh idea.
