Movie and cash
Recently, I've looked movies, and altogether do not understand - how they're spending the budget money?
Look at this: "Losers"- great fighter with cheerful Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Keepers", "Supernatural"), ("Fantastic Four") and "Avatar". They are not the most expensive, but fairly well-known actors. The film is constantly someone beaten, shot and blown up - normal funny action, I like it. Budget - 25 million dollars.
"Repo Men" - futuristic action movie with Jude Law ("EXistenZ", "Enemy at the Gates") and Forest Whitaker ("Vantage Point", "The Last King of Scotland"), is also not very expensive, but well-known actors. The film is full of actions, violence, blood, chases and fights. Budget - 32 million dollars.
"Crazies"- horror movie about Zombies with Rada Mitchell and Timothy Olyphant. Well, Rada has a karma so, beating monsters that are in "Silent Hill". Timothy, of course, the actor of class "B", but still not McDowell. The film is brisk, with the crowd, shooting and bloody massacre with farm implements. Budget - 20 million dollars.
But what's there, when large-scale "Inglorious Bastards" Tarantino cost of 70 million, with 20 of them fees to Brad Pitt. The actual value of the film, therefore, 50 million. The price of just published "Predator" - $ 40 million.
So my question is still actual, where do producers take such crazy sums? Where directors put in that money, but so reliable that they still cannot see anyone? Give the answer? No answer...
