"Nowadays the big Hollywood studios only make about three movies a year, and they cost about $200 million each. There's no room for error in that, and not a lot of room, I would think, for free expression"

About this Quote

This quote by Robbie Coltraine speaks with the present state of the Hollywood movie market. With the high expense of producing films, the huge Hollywood studios are taking fewer risks and just producing a couple of motion pictures a year. This indicates that there is no room for error in the production procedure, and not much room for creative expression. This is a plain contrast to the past, when studios were more going to take risks and produce a variety of films. The current system is more concentrated on producing blockbusters that will make a great deal of cash, instead of taking risks on smaller, more creative projects. This has led to a reduction in the range of films being produced, and a decrease in the amount of imaginative expression in the market.
