In Reply to: Movies that COULD NOT be made today?...... posted by Mrs. Piggy on November 9, 2002 at 08:36:19:
I'm thinking less PC and more economics 101, plus the general dumbing down of...everything.Now that bean counters control studios, I think most of the breakthrough films of the 70's would never be made today - too risky. Unless a film opens big, studios don't want the "product" - what an awful word to desscribe a work of art, but Hollywood films aren't generally about ideas or passion for the medium, they're about the bottom line. Focus groups. Tie-ins. What's that you say - independent film? The major studios either own or disribute 90% of the independent, art and foreign films in USA.
I doubt Taxi Driver, Nashville, et al would get greenlit today.
