If You Write A Movie For Roger

I See Very Small Movies Being Financed By Crowdfunding. If You're A Well-known Actor Or Celebrity Of Some Sort, You Can Probably Raise Between One And Two Million. I Don't Have That Kind Of Cult [following].

When I Read A Story Or See Something Play Out In Front Of Me I Say, How Come Nobody's Made A Movie Or A Television Show Out Of This? This Is Something That Belongs In The Conversation. Certainly That's What Interests Me About A Project.

I've Always Got Five Or Six Things That Would Either Make A Good Feature Or Tv Show. And You Just Never Know. You Go And You Pitch And It May Be Exactly What They're Looking For, Or They May Stop You After Two Sentences And Say, "oh, We've Already Done Something Just Like That."

The Hardest Thing About Movies Is Doing Take 12, 13, And 14, And Finding New Ways To Do The Same Lines. So The Early Takes Are Actually Easier And I Think There's More Surprises In Them.

There Are Very Few Distributors Left To Do Off-hollywood Movies, And Those Distributors Generally Have Got Thousands Of Movies To Choose From. So You're Pretty Lucky If You Get One To Even Take Your Movie And It's Pretty Rare That They Pay Anything Upfront.
