The way I like to describe Hollywood today is this: everyone wants to make 'Deliverance,' but no one wants to be Ned Beatty.
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.
