"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"
- Robbie Coltraine
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.
"If the Police could do a reunion... One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It's not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It's just rock and roll"
"Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild"
"What's really exciting for me is communicating to other people and not just going somewhere to make a movie. That's Hollywood to me and it would mean nothing"
