ou really want public money to fund a film like The Room or Birdemic?id you read the article at all? Did you read Ken Loach's comments?
Of course nobody "Wants" movies like The Room or Birdemic to waste public money but if they had been massive money-earners would there have been a problem.
The fact is that a fantastic script can be turned into absolute crap or vice visa and there's few indicators about what will actually be successful (bar making sequels which is lazy and creatively bacnkr More

Great to see political impartility on this page. Firstly the report was written by a former Labour Culture Secreatary, Lord Smith and it was a cross party report. Lord Smith was the chair for the report. Secondly not all films funded by the Film Council were critical or artistic successs. Sex Lives of the Potato Men got £1 Millions of public money, a awful comedy film that starred Johnny Vegas and made by a director who never anything of worth. Would you really want public money to fund a f More

It only made half of its budget, which means it still remained in red. Don't know about BR/DVD though.
Still point being, Cameron is a moron and so is everyone agreeing with him.

Which disappeared quite fast at the BO alongside with Centurion, and you'd think people would love a bloody period epic, and this coming from someone who though Centurion was fun.
enturion only flopped in the States, internationally it mode more than half its budget. If they had given it a proper US release it would've made a profit. Those figures don't include the dvd/bd sales. More

from the 30s/80s UK film had sound commercial instincts about its domestic output.
even ken russell expected his films to have mainstream appeal.
then it all went to hell in mid 80s- thatcher ditching the eady levy and the city not wanting to invest in film production didn't help.
UK film need to get that instinct back. More

BUT these films should always be films that people ] to see.
In my opinion British films have kinda pigeon-holed themselves, they are either films about the upper middle class (rom-coms, period dramas, royalty/politics) or the lower class (gangsters, kitchen sink). There are of course exceptions but if you can count them on your hand they're not the rule.

I had a couple of thoughts on this and well, firstly I thought "I wonder how many Tory MP's children are setting up film production companies as we speak", be a nice way of diverting more public money into the bank accounts of his mates.
