“On the one hand, you have these huge budget films that cost millions of dollars. They are effects driven, they don't have well known actors in them, and they are making money. Well, some of them are. One the other hand, you have Stallone and Statham, and guys like DeNiro and Pacino, and Costner, who are all trying to make movies about real people. They are interested in character driven projects.” PeopleTryingWellsRealCharacterHandsFilmGuyActorsKnownMillionsEffectsHugeCostProjectsDollarsDrivenMaking MoneyBudgetsWell Known Author:Dolph Lundgren
“There's a screen direction in the script for the pilot where it says, 'Jim Harper, mid-20s, enters,' and it said something to the effect of: 'He's confident without being cocky. He has no idea that he could be considered attractive, because he saw All The President's Men when he was thirteen and never looked up.' It was just a great little gem of a screen direction, and I felt immediately from just that, that I had a good idea of how to play this guy.” MenLittlesSaidIdeasPlayGuyFeltPresidentSawsEffectsScriptsScreensNo IdeaAttractiveGood IdeasPilotsThis GuyThirteenGemsCockyHarperBeing Cocky Author:John Gallagher, Jr.

“'Saw VI' has a really interesting theme about the ripple effect. Everything you do affects the guy next to you, which affects the guy next to him, which affects her over here.
