when big directors go “small”
June 12, 2009
Significant article in the LA Times about several A-List directors (Sam Mendes, Angle Lee, Sam Raimi, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Soderbergh) with “smaller” films coming out this summer without A-List actors. Although small for most of them is 17 to 30 million! Which leads me to think there is NO WAY they’re going to make thier money back on these personal films. And yet, must be nice to have that much power. But then again, how much power will they retain if they (ponetially) lose a ton of money on their passion projects?
