The Reason To Get Into Movies

The Reason To Get Into Movies

The reason to get into movies is the same reason to get into any other formal business, I suppose.

Money!

I get the sentiment.

I mean, I love this blog and all. But you can buy it for the right price, of course.

Our creative works are our little darlings.

But yes – they are for sale.

“It’s just a blog,” I would tell myself, weeping as I let it go.

Most filmmakers instinctively believe that authors are always proprietary about their books, and many are: many, but not all. I wasn’t, for example, possessive, either on Hud or the other films made from my books. Mainly one hopes that a film of one’s books will be good, but, hey, there’s the money. The author gets money!

-Larry McMurtry, Hollywood (Amazon)
