audiences movies seen today
Young audiences today have seen a lot of those movies but only on video, there haven't been any new stuff.
credit formula genre imitate individual marketing stars studios whatever worked
The studios aren't going to credit the genre as much as they are, you know, the marketing of an individual thing, or whatever it was. They'll try to imitate it. They want something that has the same things-young stars from TV. They think they have the formula worked out. I just think it's a fool's game.
scream
I didn't like Scream too much. I thought Scream 2 was better.
action game good stick
I'd like to just stick to the game and try to make a really good action film.
dig except love remake series tv
I don't know of any TV series that I was so in love with that I'd like to do a remake of except for the Ernie Kovacs show. But, we'd have to go dig him up and see if he's still funny.
happen move production
My first move is always to try to get a production into Pittsburgh, but I don't know if that's going to happen anymore.
asia bucks couple love people saved worry
Obviously, we don't have the bucks for big stars, so I'll be saved from having to worry about that. There are a couple of people I'd love to get, Asia Argento being first and foremost. If I could get a couple people like that, I'd be thrilled.
hard monkeys work
Monkeys are ornery and hard to work with.
affection genre gets horror involved understand
So many execs don't get or understand the horror genre, they're used to being involved with story or plot, and when they're in a genre that they don't get or have affection for, it gets difficult.
basically chance handled stand
It's basically always been the same, you know? It's just on a different level. You used to be able to at least stand a chance with a little film if it was handled well.
action crazy good gotta involving rather zombie
It's gotta be scary, obviously, but I don't want to go crazy with it. I don't want to make another zombie film. I'd rather make a good action film involving zombies.
budget edgy european harder hear low money raise trying wanna
It's a lot harder to do anything that's that edgy 'cause the execs don't wanna hear about it... but we're trying to raise some European money and see if we can get a low budget together.
almost bigger business companies expansion shooting taking
It's a pretty frustrating biz right now, with all of the expansion and the companies taking other companies over, and all that. It's a bigger business than it ever was, and everybody's shooting for the moon. There's almost no such thing as a middle-ground movie anymore.
anyone classic course james love michael pal people whale work
A lot of people say my work borrows from Hitchcock, but I think if I've stolen... of COURSE I've stolen, this is a parasitic medium... but if I'm parasitic of anyone it's Welles, and Michael Pal and Kazan... those are my guys. The James Whale stuff... I LOVE the old B&W movies, like classic paintings.
