Movie world await changes
Two outstanding director, we can say living legends - Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, speaking to students at the Faculty of Cinematography University of Southern California. Masters reported that the film industry in its present form, expect a major change, and soon enough.
As explained by Spielberg, it is enough to a few films with a budget of $ 250 million failed at the box office. The probability of such a development director assessed as extremely high. According to him, many young filmmakers lacking a sense of proportion, which in combination with some of their limitations will inevitably lead to failures of big-budget pictures.
He believes it will cause drastic changes in the operating principles distributors - in particular, by the beginning of differentiation of prices for cinema tickets. If today tickets for all films are mainly sold at the same price, you'll soon view another part of the blockbuster "Iron Man" will cost the viewer in a conditional $ 25, while on the biographical films like his "Lincoln" will be to go for seven .
Lucas just agreeing with a colleague, did not rule out that in the future the film industry in general will move to Broadway propagation model - that is, the films will be rolled out in less, but each tape will be shown on the big screen for about a year, and movie tickets for the price will be comparable to theater tickets. Spielberg recalled in response to his film "Alien" in 1982, remained at the box office year and four months.
The greater part of the film, according to the two directors general will be issued immediately on television, and Lucas considers this option even attractive. According to him, the current situation on the market characterized by exaggerated budget movie producers and the desire to do a mass product, gradually brings to the forefront of cable television as a more effective means of interaction niche directors with the target audience.
Spielberg and Lucas warned students that they come to the film industry at a time when even the experienced and recognized directors is not easy to achieve a wide rolled his films.
According to Spielberg, his "Lincoln", for example, could go directly to the channel HBO, passing theaters. On the release of the film in the cinema screens managed to negotiate with great difficulty - in fact, the director even had to sell some of his own film company. With the same difficulty Lucas made an issue in the rental they produced the film "Red Tails," about American pilots of World War II.
