Eric Fellner Quotations

I think it would be a good thing in the creative community if there was less embarrassment of this word 'commercial' because that's how you make a business.

'Billy Elliot' prides itself on being a family show, and it made sense to specifically cater to a family audience with an earlier evening curtain time.

When you watch a Coen brothers movie, it is always so certain about what it is trying to portray. That is their strength. The minute they write a word, they know how it will look on-screen. They are very purposeful, with no kind of mistakes.

It is rare that you read scripts that genuinely move you and make you feel that, regardless of the commercial possibilities, you have to make the film.

You never get time at Working Title, sadly, to enjoy any film's success, because you're worrying about the next lot.

With 'Anna Karenina,' I just think it's a stunning visual tour de force for a director who is at the top of his game.

I think Cannes is usually pretty fair in choosing what will play well to the home festival crowd.

I have always thought we should think less about the British film industry as an entity, and more about getting British talent working.

So, to me, it does shift, but it goes round. It just keeps going round and round and round. So if you have the longevity you have the belief and you have the resources to just keep at it you just ignore all that and just keep going where you're at.

Then something fails and they're all out again, but DVD revenue is disappearing, you know, it's not disappearing but it's going off a cliff and what that's done is it's polarized the industry in a way that I've never seen before where studios are making less, they're bifurcating their choices where they're either going very, very big or they're just picking up a few rights on an acquisition basis or making really small things.
