All the films I was ever developing at the studios were $10 million movies, and they had a lot of them when I got to Hollywood, and that’s the rubric under which Fast Times at Ridgemont High got made, and all of the John Hughes movies got made.
I just seem to think that it was a kind of a corporate take, the next corporate takeover of filmmaking.
Now it’s very hard to get a script for an indie film unless you’re one of the three or four films that really broke out of Sundance.
I think it just got lost in the Marvel Universe, and the Lethal Weapon years and the years of ‘What kind of package we can put together with two $20 million dollar actors in the leads?’
