“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”

    I don’t know why studios keep meddling.

    She said the script she signed up for was way better, and what got released is completely different

    Like, I know some stuff will always change. But this comes up so often and it’s just producers fiddling with shit

      Movies get expensive. Studios are afraid of the risk and want to play it safe. They start meddling.

        And then they ruin it. They should understand their limits and realize they’re hurting the bottom line by not trusting the people who know this stuff better than them.

          It’s either that or try to make cheaper movies instead, but even then they need to trust the people who actually make the movies.
