THE TROUBLE WITH INDEPENDENCE

As the big studios broke up and became fragmented all over the place, it meant we had to package and put together independent pictures—get a story, get a script, get a star. And this became something that I didn’t particularly like, wasn’t trained for. With a big studio supporting you and supporting you financially, you could go ahead and plan. But I did this for a while. I got together three or four scripts—financed the whole business. Did a very good script of the early life of Cervantes. But to get the stars, you had to give them a date, and in order to get the date, you had to have the money. It was a vicious cycle—sitting on the phone and wooing people, money people and stars and so forth, endlessly. I wasn’t cut out for it. And although I’m interested again in making a film, nevertheless I’d like to get somebody else to package it.
