My funds have grown every year and this is because my movies got the investors most of their money back, more than all the other funds.
If they invest in film funds they have zero on their account, so every movie must recoup money otherwise the investment didn't made sense.
I do think Hostel will be a good movie.
Interview with a Vampire was lots of sex, so I'm not sure.
Agents are still asking for millions of dollars for actors that don't sell one ticket.
I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.
Homer is the nice side of Al Bundy with the same intellect. I really like him and Al Bundy.
Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the government.
Take the hardcore gamers. The characters are way more real in the world of hardcore gamers who have played the game for hundreds of hours. They have the movie in their heads, they've built it on their own. These guys are always very disappointed in the movies.
We work very cost effective and I sell my movies in 100 territories on my own.
