audience audiences either films midnight particular people quirky tickets younger
The big tickets come from a much younger audience and a different audience base. The midnight moviegoers were, like, movie fans: people who were either into films or into particular films, and into them in either a sophisticated or a kind of quirky way.
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.
audiences event latest money picture whatever
I think today's audiences, the audiences that make the big money for a studio, are out for whatever the latest event picture is, or the must-see stuff. I think it's a different crowd.
audiences current friday genre guess liked movies peer seen watched
I never liked the Friday The 13th movies, or any of that. It's just not my bag. It's a genre that I guess current audiences haven't seen in a while, or haven't seen at all. I have a 14-year-old daughter, and the first one of those she ever watched, she only watched because of peer pressure.
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.
four hear literally paying projects rewrite sad tales
I've been in development hell. I've got about four projects out there now, all with studios. They keep paying me to rewrite and do this and that. It's literally all the sad tales you hear about development. It's awful.
array honest people
People go to those screenings, and you don't get honest answers. You get wise-aleck answers, and you get this whole array of different personalities and people having something to say about what you should do.
bonds cape carnegie cut decided department design dough drama lived painting quiet studied three until
We lived in the Bronx, didn't have a lot of dough and it was quiet until I went away to go to school. Cut the bonds and went crazy. Studied painting and design for three years at Carnegie Mellon and transferred to the drama department and decided that I WAS Orson Welles. I'd actually go around in a cape and do things like that.
ghost great involves monsters
We're also doing a 3D Imax... which is really great fun... it's a ghost story that involves movies, and some of the movie monsters come to life. So, that's exciting, too, but in 3D! Something I've always wanted to do.
broken controlled credit door elevator glass guy happened held mugged scared scariest street
I was mugged once, which really scared me, and we had a manually controlled elevator in the building. This guy jumped me, he had broken the door... the glass of the street door and he had a big sliver of that and held it to my throat. That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. He just wanted my credit cards.
european hard money pushes time
Most of the European money now is off TV, and they're having a hard time now with anything that pushes the envelope.
beat faceless gang golden home kid member past
I was the spic kid who was getting beat up by the golden guineas in the Bronx. I had to be past the gang on my way home from school. You feel like a faceless member of society.
devour white
I was very into Arthurian myth. I had always read all the White stuff, devour the stuff.
genre giggle love people
I think people that love the genre giggle at it. I don't get grossed out, I giggle.
