absolutely complete
The Roundhouse was a complete shell. It was absolutely empty, lying derelict for years.
experience looking seen
'Dust Devil,' I've never really seen with an American audience, so I'm looking forward to that experience.
brian britain given honourable john literary michael time whatever
Britain has had a very honourable tradition of literary sci-fi - H. G. Wells, John Wyndham, J. G. Ballard, Brian Aldiss, Michael Moorcock - but for whatever reason, they have never really been given the time of day on screen.
clients expect given less rate secret stage
There's no secret that the revolve rate of clients here is less than in other markets. But, again, that is not unusual, given the stage of development we're in, and we'd expect that to increase.
dead debt money personally picked rights spent tab
I was so in debt by the end of 'Dust Devil,' having picked up the tab personally for the post-production of the movie, and having no way to recoup because I didn't own the rights to the movie. There was no way I could see any money back on it, so any money spent was just a dead loss.
enable fully providing
It will enable us to fully participate in the development of the (foreign exchange) market, while providing more flexibility for our clients.

If I were a parent and someone told me my kid was going to go there, I'd be hesitant, as well. But it's going to be dramatically different nine months from now, and 21 months from now.

'Hardware' came about because I had written quite a few scripts and hadn't had any luck getting them made.

I'm not Christian. I didn't meet Jesus. I met something that looked like it had come out of a 'Heavy Metal' comic.
cans coming coppola obviously position scarcely
Obviously if you're Coppola going into 'Apocalypse Now' off the back of the two 'Godfathers,' you're in a much better position than coming off the back of something like 'Dust Devil,' which had scarcely been released, and was pretty much lying around in film cans in different places.
repertory until
South Africa had very poor repertory distribution. I didn't find out about Akira Kurosawa and Tarkovsky and Werner Herzog until I got to the U.K.
movies people
You've got all these people making action movies, and they've never been in a life-or-death situation.
bond buildings until
We will be, in effect, tenants of those buildings for 20 to 25 years until the bond is repaid.

We are very proud of our track record in Korea and elsewhere in avoiding some of the problems that were seen in those markets.
