I turned down a contract for similar reasons that then materialized a few years down the line. Not anything as big as Universal, though, so maybe you're right. http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-52 Traveling Matt Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:57:46 +0000 http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-52 Screw filmmaking; I should totally go to law school. P.C. - thanks for the chipper upper, but I don't believe they were so much enamored of our movie as they were with the idea of cheaply picking up overlooked movies to build up their library. Like quickie real-estate investing. Could be wrong, but that's the feeling I got. http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-51 Angela Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:38:59 +0000 http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-51 What a wild adventure! I still haven't seen it (I need to remedy that, but I keep forgetting to remedy it), but from everything I've read and heard it's just fantastic and hysterical. Fantastic and hysterical movies are rare nowadays, and I have faith that it is going to take you and Jonathan places. Hell, YOU two may be the ones making a Steve Carell and Jim Carrey blockbuster comedy someday because of it. :) You were definitely smart the way you handled this, and I'm glad you didn't get stuck in a bad situation because of the exciting prospect. http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-50 Piano Catherine Fri, 12 Oct 2007 20:34:16 +0000 http://www.filmtraveler.com/2007/10/12/why-i-turned-down-a-distribution-deal-with-universal/#comment-50 Ah, they cut off discussions now, but when they realize they want it they'll be back (or somebody else will).
