“The filmmakers aren't running the studios anymore. Sometimes people who like films are making them, but by and large, they have to go report quarterly earnings and all that stuff. The competition is so huge that it's very hard to get people to show up to see any movie in the theater, much less an original one that isn't a version of something else they saw.” PeopleSometimesHardShowsRunningFilmStuffSawsHugeTheaterOriginalsCompetitionStudiosVersionsFilmmakerReportsEarning Author:Tom Hanks

“I think any filmmaker will tell you when they wandered from theater to theater to watch their prints, it was disheartening to see the poor levels of light and the disrespect for films that existed in certain theater chains. It was always inconsistent. And in the lab, too, the photochemical process was very difficult to watch, because sometimes they were shipping prints that you didn't even know were two points off or three points off. We suffered greatly to make these films, and they'd be out-of-focus, with the sound too low.” ThinkingKnowsTwoSometimesLightFilmCertainThreeProcessDifficultSoundPoorLevelsWatchesFocusLowsTheaterChainsFilmmakerPrintDisrespectLabsInconsistentShippingDisheartening Author:Oliver Stone

“Well, he's got a much bigger circus to play with, and he has a lot more financing available, and he has a lot more time available. I think that makes a huge difference. I think he instinctively knows how to make films and all the different ways that you can make stuff. He's very gadget-wise, and he's very smart about all the different things that are available to a filmmaker nowadays, and he makes very good use of them. He has a theater in his house, for God's sake. It has proper curtains on it and everything.
