R.C. But you also have to decide on the format, right?
G.L. In terms of what?
R.C.Do you say, "Dammit, Steven, do it in digital," and he says, "Dammit, George, I?m doing it on film"?
G.L. Pretty much.
R.C.Who wins?
G.L. He?ll win. He?s the director. The great thing about working with Steven is that we don?t have agendas. We want to make the best movie possible, I want him to be happy. If he he wants to shoot it on film and cut it on a Movieola... Hey, he?s got a great editor. Michael Kahn can cut faster on a Movieola than anybody can cut on an Avid. And I don?t really care. But I do tell him, 'This is your chance to play with this and experiment with it and blame it all on me'—say, ?He made me do it.? And then you can go back to film if you want. But he has relented after all these years to maybe cutting it digitally. We?ll see what happens.
