Our John Wells deal sort of changed us.

It feels like a victory.

You could say we've come full circle. Now there's all kinds of excuses to control what people see. It's getting scarier and scarier.

People have certain memories that they hold very dear, so you want to remain true to them.

Look at 'Bettie Page', that was the classic movie that we had in development forever. I think it pre-dated Killer Films, we made something that is enormously fresh and fun and exactly what the director wanted, and that feels amazing.

The only way we can do what we do is to be absurdly optimistic.

Not everyone can see this working as a film, but maybe that will change now that everyone's embracing musicals in a big way.

I'm no longer convinced theatrical is the holy grail.
