Quote: darkozThe drug is still being tested by the FDA.
They don't do that if there was no hope of getting approved because the drug was just grape juice.

The FDA doesn't test anything. They evaluate the results from tests and trials that the drug companies have done, and even collect user fees from the drug companies.
So, basically, if a company is willing to pay the costs, which may be in the hundreds of millions, the FDA will allow it to keep spinning its wheels seeking approval.

I'm sure the FDA will overlook the fact that the company presented false data to both it and the SEC. Its former CEO was convicted of fraud and buying off the supposedly neutral testing company, yet somehow, they were the victims.

Producing a feature film and having a feature film that anybody wants to see let alone one that makes a profit are two totally different things. There are scads of people out there right this minute producing feature films and you will never hear of 99.9% of them. Over the years I knew half a dozen people in California who were always working on a film and none of them ever made any money doing it. A high school friend who sold his business for millions of dollars got talked into being a producer and he lost a ton of money. Saying that you're working on producing a movie is almost meaningless. It's right up there with people claiming that they're working on a novel. That will also never go anywhere.

Lol! Are you trying to be funny? 100 million dollar movie flops are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. People who do it for a living, people who supposedly know what they're doing, pick dud movies all the time. Look at Disney's newest movie, you would think they know how to pick a winner. Nope.

Sometimes people do projects to make money.
Sometimes people do projects to make art or tell a particular story, and any money recouped is a nice afterthought.
I've got a title picked out for my gambling reference book ("Everything I know about gambling" by Dieter Greene), but I'm afraid Shed Simove may have exclusive use of the format...

The book has been finished for a few years. Probably could use a final revision.
I haven't sought publication because I am still on my AP exploits.
As for EB, I have no clue what he is babbling about. Film is art and art is about passion. I never said working on my film was a guaranteed success story. As he pointed out Disney and every other studio has flops. Gee with EB's logic, all studios should just stop making product.
As for my film, if I succeed in making it to the finish line (I'm in a bit of a race with UNSEEN opponents) then it will be history making. Which is what I am counting on to propel my film into the limelight.
I also have contacts with people pretty high up the food chain in Hollywood. I'm having dinner with one of them in two weeks. No guarantees in that direction of course but his last film was a $100 million production. I have a foot in the door. Whether the door opens or not is something for the future to hold.
What does EB care anyway. Sounds like jealousy that he doesn't do anything passionate with his life. People scared to take a gamble on a gambling site. What a twist of fate.

Lol! You sound exactly like everybody I've ever come across in the movie business on the producing side. They spew endless word salads about what they're trying to achieve and when they achieve absolutely nothing, which 99% of them do, they have endless platitudes and word salad silliness to explain why they failed. That's because if they didn't they would never get anybody to invest again in one of their so-called 'art' pieces. Because that's all producing a movie is really about, talking somebody else into giving you their money so you don't have to invest any of your own.

It is however interesting how the entire process works, and how many different studios and executive producers are involved on a given film these days, versus just say MetroGoldwynMeyer doing everything in the old old days.

All those production company names we see now at the beginning of a lot of movies and sometimes there's 8 or 10 of them, those are the suckers they talked into investing their money into producing the movie. I know a couple people locally here in Michigan who came into some money and got talked into investing it in a Hollywood movie and they lost their shirts. There's always a sucker out there who thinks he wants to be a movie producer and is willing to invest money in it and there's always somebody on the other end who talks a good game that's willing to take it from them. The fact is less than 20% of the movies produced make a profit. Of course nobody tells you this if you're a rookie and have money to invest.

As an artist I am not making a movie for any guarantee of profit. True artists rarely do.
Thanks to my AP activities I have the ability to make my film, my vision without any money men complicating my work.
It doesn't surprise me that unartistic people would have difficulty understanding that.
Starving artists is a term for a reason. Artists compelled to do their artwork regardless.
Only I am not starving lol.
I am sure EB wishes he made enough to make a movie and not just light the candles in his house.

In the early 1980s, my friend's warehouse was rented out to shoot a scene in a Jackie Gleason/Art Carney movie. It was in the meat-packing district, and quite a few people showed up to watch. It was the most boring thing ever. Hours-long breaks to shoot thirty seconds and then two hours to reshoot it twice. It took over eight hours to film a scene that wasn't a minute long.
For some reason, the tv sets I've been on were much more efficient. They work on smaller budgets, and it shows. Northern Queens is the setting for numerous films and tv shows, and the former Grumman properties on Long Island are now studios where blockbusters like The Avengers are shot.

That's very true. There's a lot of downtime as different departments get set up. People in the business are aware of this. In general 3 minutes of finished film should be shot per day or about 3 pages of the screenplay. However the rule isn't set in stone. The old joke about only having to shoot one line of script -- the Indians attack the fort - which everyone shows up to and discovers it's a two week shoot for that single line.
The 9 year old from Night of the Living Dead was asked all her life if she was traumatized by the experience. She would reply (paraphrasing) "well, let's see, I waited for an hour while a nice girl applied make up to my face, then my mom handed me a spade and the director told me what to do, then he yelled action and some guy off camera squirted Karol syrup for blood on my face. And when it was finished the director told me to sit and wait fifteen minutes while they cleaned me up to do it again. At the end of the day my mom brought me a doll. Yeah what a terrifying experience "

Being a David Bowie fan, I understand that is most of why he declined to be in the Bond film A View to a Kill and they got Christopher Walken instead, an actor who knew the score.
Bowie didn't want to hang around the set for five months just to watch his stunt double fill in for him repeatedly, while he waited for his actual filmed brief appearances.

I forgot the best part. When they rented out the warehouse, my friend's father insisted he could put some security people in to protect his stuff. The movie people agreed, so we got paid handsomely to watch the set and eat the buffet they put out for the crew.

Good for you.
Today that probably wouldn't happen unfortunately. I was on a set 20 years ago and no one unauthorized could come on set due to insurance reasons. Nothing happened when you were on set but if a camera or a light had fallen on you or you tripped on an electrical cable today the insurance would say no coverage due to unauthorized personnel.
EDIT: maybe that wouldn't be the case since you say they paid you effectively making you a part of the crew. It would probably depend on the films insurance deal.

One of the ways to get a job in the movie business, including even some higher end jobs, is to just somehow be connected to someone already working, hang around and do whatever you are good at for free, until you get hired. I know of high end positions that have been filled like that with people who worked for nothing for months until they got in.
Of course I am talking more about studio work, but still.
