I've rewritten other films and watched my writing be mutilated, but luckily, it's been mutilated anonymously.
What makes a movie now is a package, a brand, a remake or some preexisting material.
Oh my God, you look at all the uniforms in Star Wars, and it's all Nazi iconography.
I love films like 'Deliverance' where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.
The way I like to describe Hollywood today is this: everyone wants to make 'Deliverance,' but no one wants to be Ned Beatty.
