“It's amazing that for actors mostly, it's a risk to attach yourself to a film that you don't know whether or not it's going to even be made and if you sign on, in doing so, who else is going to be in the movie with you.” IfsKnowsMadeFilmActorsRisk Author:Elisha
“The only remarkable thing about Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, Part II is the insistent manner in which it recalls how much better his original film was. Even if Part II were a lot more cohesive, revealing and exciting than it is, it probably would have run the risk of appearing to be the self-parody it now seems…Its insights are fairly lame at this point.” IfsSelfSeemsRunningFilmRiskExcitingOriginalsInsightRemarkableRecallsRevealingAppearingLameParody Author:Vincent Canby
“The most frustrating things is when you read something that has so much potential, but there are other little red flags where you think, I don't know that I would see eye-to-eye with the people making this film. And that is the worst environment to enter, and absolutely not worth the risk.” PeopleThinkingKnowsLittlesEyeFilmEnvironmentRiskWorstRedFlagsFrustratingRed FlagsFrustrating Things Author:Anna Kendrick
“Somewhere after you have few successful films, there is a fear of losing what you have got. It is very easy in the beginning, as you are a risk taker, have nothing to lose, and there is no perception about you.” FilmEasyLosesSuccessfulRiskPerceptionLosingNothing To Lose Author:Emraan Hashmi
“Acting is one element in a film. Directing is sort of the painter using all of those elements - sound and music and camera and putting it all together. And that can be fun and exciting. If you fail, it's incredibly upsetting - much more upsetting than when you're an actor. But when you succeed it's incredibly, incredibly exciting, so I like the risk of it all.” IfsTogetherFilmActorsFunSoundActingFailingRiskSucceedElementsExcitingCamerasPainterUpsetSound And MusicFilm Directing Author:George Clooney
“I don't like making didactic, pedagogical documentaries based on standard formulas of narration: I'm only interested in the ambitious French tradition of the documentaire de création where the film, if successful, is not about something but that something itself. The goal is to incorporate areas of risk and paradox that we associate with cinematic art.” IfsArtFilmGoalSuccessfulRiskStandardsAreasTraditionParadoxFormulasAmbitiousAssociatesDocumentariesCinematicNarrationDidactic Author:Damian Pettigrew
