I understand what their goal is, but it is a risk, the movie might not make all the money back and then some. Lets face it, Die Hard: with a Vengance wasnt exactly a box office blockbuster.

The masses do love helicopter explosions though. :rolleyes:

The movie's going to make somewhere around 5 or 6 hundred, that's a 3 hundred profit. It's ridiculous but it's going to make money and that's the ultimate goal.(to the producers)

Ok, but imagine how much money they would make if they made it for only 28 Million (the original Die Hard's budget. It made over 117 mil, btw). Or hell, 90 million (DHwaV's budget). That's over 4 or 5 million profit. 600 profit for a 28 movie is 572 million dollars profit. Why not lower the budget and increase the profits?

I agree with you completely I was just pointing out that it still works. A lower budget would probably bring out a litte more creativeness in the crew instead of them throwing money at every tough fx scene they run into.

these are of murderdoll. It's different having naked pictuers of someone you "know"

The sooner Hollywood withers away from it's own uncreativity the better :D . Of course when tv forcefeeds everyone the same crappy reality shows (cheaper to make since no writers), even bad remakes, SNL skits, old sitcom-turned-movies, etc seem like entertainment. People are lemmings and will watch whatever is put in front of them. I pray for another wave of great indie filmmakers to appear as they did in the early 70s. Maybe that will add something to the void.
