Je viens de lire une interview de John Landis et certains passages sont vraiment intéressants sur l'industrie hollywoodienne aujourd'hui :
What's happening is the studios now will make a film for $150, $200 million but they're afraid to take risks. You asked me about the Dark Universe, if you're gonna make a movie of The Mummy, why the fuck do you need Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe?! As soon as you announce that Tom Cruise is in The Mummy, you know you're not going to see a horror picture! It's not gonna be The Mummy, it's going to be the Tom Cruise Show.
I'll give you a better example - have you seen Get Out?
I did, and I loved it!
Great movie. That cost a little under $5 million. Know how much they spent to open it?
I'd guess and say around the same as the production budget.
They spent $38 million.
Jesus.
It had a major studio release and to do a major studio release, it's thousands of cinemas.
This is what's different and no one understands. To release a film now, like The Mummy? They're gonna spend $50 to $60 million - and that's on top of the production costs! So with a film like Get Out, which only cost a little under five, well, actually, they're going to have to recoup more than fifty to break even! When I made Animal House, there were only three national networks in the US. ABC, CBS and NBC. There were only three that were national at that time.
Now, I've DirecTV and I think I've got 620 choices. Think about it. When you bought a commercial, a TV spot for Animal House on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson, that was seen by 40 million people a night on NBC. Now, a hit TV series is seen by, at most, 17 or 18 million people. A hit series is considered one million viewers. So, the cost of reaching those people has become exponentially expensive. Plus, when you bought a thirty-second spot with Johnny Carson, it cost about $100,000. When you buy a thirty-second spot nowadays, it's millions.
