Even though this is a Fox picture, Rodriguez said the studio left him alone and let this be a Troublemaker Studios production. Fox told Rodriguez, "We want you to protect this movie from us. We want you to go down there and do it your own way." They wanted it to reflect a film-makers vision, in the same way the Nolan Batman films do. Not having someone breathing down your neck and making demands doesnt just give you more freedom, says Antal — it also makes you work harder because youre energized instead of demoralized. (It was similar to the making of King Kong, added Brody — a studio film that felt like an independent film.)
Applies to anything.
I am liking how my boss is kind of finally getting this, if he leaves me be I produce some cool stuff he can see. Movies are the same, to many bigwigs stick their nose in and mess up a movie.
Making the last aliens vs predator movies a lower rating trying to aim at a broader audience did not work. The proper essence of a predator movie is that grit horroresk roller-coaster that happens to have action at the right times, not the other way around.
