But how much are we talking about needing to get the job done? A decade back, I caught a lecture by William Gibson about the insanity of the filming of Johnny Mnemonic, and he apparently gets a good laugh at people who blithely talk about a film costing "only" $10 million or so. "Have you ever seen $10 million in one place before?" Film investors feel the same way, and one of the reasons why so many films suck so badly is because they're all wanting to make sure that they make back their investment...which is why slasher films and teen tit comedies flood the market while quirky films come along every few years.
