You will also find Magnolia was cheap compared to PDL because Tom Cruise worked for free

I know he worked cheap but I didn't hear "free"

Also.. why are you all talking about flying a cast/crew to a location?

The more expensive part is the film/developing etc...  im sure the airfare is a much lower percent of the cost of the film

You have to feed and house that cast and crew in addition to their wages, as well. And maybe deal with local unions/equipment providers, etc.

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Not that I give a flying fuck about what Punch-Drunk Love cost, but did Anderson even take the majority of his crew to Hawaii?

Usually what'll happen is a whole other crew [bar the DOP and other essential crew members] will be hired in the new locale.

Looks like it. There were only a small amount of crew members listed under Hawaii crew at the end credits (drivers, extras casting, catering, etc.). There is no listing for Utah crew so it looks all went there too.

I guess it isn't really that shocking, not with PTA. From the commentaries, interviews and behind the scenes stuff, you can gauge that he regards his crew as one big family. Hawaii though? Christ...

Me wonders if he knows each person by name.

...not in any of the shots they were able to use. Is what I think was being implied...

Quote from: SHAFTRAccording to IMBD it made $17,791,031 in the US, so it didn't really lose that much.  I'm thinking once you add international it came close to breaking even, and once DVD sales/rentals come in...

But how much does DVD cost to press and distribute?  Obviously not substantial, but is home distribution part of a film's initial budget?
