People are very reluctant to invest unless they know it's going to be a sure thing, and let's face it: film is never a sure thing.
The major studios are by and large banks, and they give you what is by and large a loan to make a movie. Like banks, they want their money back plus.
Mid-range to low-budget movies have to have a name in the lead to get financing for it.
Well, we are not doing that film actually. At least I am not at the moment, but we are making an effort to get it done; I don't know whether we'll get the financing for it. The old story we had it, it fell out of place and this and that.
I lost a year or two in there, trying to get films financed that I didn't know would never get financing.
It is not like casting me in your movie is going to help you get financing.
The more I see of the movie business, the less I understand about it. I have no idea what goes on with that stuff.
Its not really about the movie business, it's about staying in the picture.
The movie business is a big gamble.
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
