I know, it's so stupid. Basically in this star worshipping culture, a film cannot get made or financed unless tied to an a-list or b-list actor. Actors have so much power in the industry now, they are producing their own and others' movies, as they are now some of the few who can afford it. They are in the power to decide what gets made and what doesn't. Basically the nation's cultural output depends on what actors want to do. It's all so meaningless.


I was watching recently the extras on the DVD of Days Of Glory (Indigènes) and the director said ten years ago, the movie couldn't have been made because there weren't any big name French-Arab actors at the time to justify its budget. Today, however with Jamel Debbouze being such a big French star, once he signed on to play one of the soldiers and helped finance the film, everything else fell into place. So sometimes actors having a lot of power can be a good thing.


But that's the thing that bugs me. Movies now completely rely on a big name star to get made. So that means, if there are no big name French-Arab actors (miracle there are any, the movie wouldn't get made. Think of all the films that don't get made because the American public doesn't know any big name actors of different ethnicities, and now they need Angelina Jolie to play a Cuban woman.

Movies can get made without big name actors (or directors), they just have to have a smaller budget which was something a WWII film about North African soldiers fighting for France couldn't do (and look authentic at least).

I don't know what the deal is with that Angelina film. That seems like something that could have been made without her.

Paris Hilton.

I saw her in this movie, it was about a hot dog eating contest, but it was hard to make out 'cause the director got all artsy-fartsy and shot through a fuzzy green filter. Watched the whole thing.

Steve Buscemi stars in a new film called Delirious which played at Sundance this year. He plays a sort of crazy, emotionally abusive paparrazi. There's a great scene where he gets thrown out of a party by Elvis Costello (who plays himself). I don't think it's in the theaters yet, but look out for it if you love Steve Buscemi.

Even with smaller budget films though, it's getting harder and harder, not to mention films getting distribution.

I believe it's not difficult to get your indie film with no names out there. It's just a matter of how many people will see it. shrug

I was actually thinking about Juliet Binoche. I haven't seen her in anything awful.

Does anyone love every movie an actor is in? Scarlett Johansson is on my list and she's in more films that I think are crappy than ones I love.
