David Fincher wrote a nice article years back for ‘Sight and Sound’ (what one might call a British equivalent of Cahiers Du Cinema) about the lighting for the film ‘Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans’ and how it influenced his use of lighting in ‘Seven’. I like the look of the three disc special edition of ‘Panic Room’ dealing with pre-production, production and post-production.
There was a programme about Hollywood on BBC2 a couple of years back. Rupert Murdoch (who owns 20th Century Fox) hated the script of Fight Club. He felt it was disgusting and did not want it to be made. The executive producer believed in it so much. Murdoch relented but if the film flopped the producer would be fired.
The producer got fired.
