The producer needs to be a fool - a determined fool! You have to be incredibly tenacious because there are a lot of 'nos' out there; the whole thing is a bit like herding cats. You have to keep at it and keep at it, and one day you get there, to the movie.

From the first time I read John Krakauer's book 'Into Thin Air' in the early 2000s, I always thought this great adventure story would make a really good film. It has all the ingredients - a great location, disaster, interesting characters, and all forms of human emotion.

Premium, non-network television is occupying a space that art cinema used to enjoy. 'Homeland,' 'Breaking Bad' - 15 to 20 years ago, they would have been independent cinema stories.

Really bad reviews can hurt pretty much any movie. They say that some films are review-proof, but I think that's probably big high-concept movies, comedies, and so on. But, on the whole, if a film gets dreadful reviews, it will affect its business.

I always think British films work best when they're very honest to a particular part of England. 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' was true to middle-class people, 'Bend it Like Beckham' was faithful to the Indian community, and 'Billy Elliot' was faithful to the miners.
