In order to make a movie it isn't enough to have a script, it isn't enough to have a director, it isn't enough to have a male actor and a female actor, it isn't enough to have financing. You have to have them all at the same instant.
I don't really sit in the sun I have a flagstone terrace surrounding the swimming pool and just carrying the script from the office to the living room gives me an instant suntan.
The secret is to get a good cinematographer and a very good assistant director. If you get those and stay out of their way, and have good actresses, the script doesn't even have to be that extraordinary.
The script just can't commit the sin of being boring.
Paris may be expensive but I love it. It's the one place to spend money and enjoy.
