Where do you think indie filmmakers are trying to get to? Hollywood, walk up to any indie guy/girl and offer 'em a hundred million dollars,twenty million dollar lead of their choice ect. ect. and odds are they're going to take it.
I think the expectations of a film that is made for huge amounts of money is pretty high and then when it tanks.....


"The Postman" with Costner had a budget close to 100 million, almost laughable, and barely made 18 million.

Seems trying to capture the magic of "Dances with Wolves or Bull Durham" can be a little difficult no matter who stars in the film.

I would expect a little more quality of a film though for that kind of money.
