- Do the studios feel that the extra 10 to 15 million extra for a major box-office name is always worth it, when they can use that money for special effects, or a sequel that already had a built-in audience? It's probably a debate rather continually. American studio movies tend to be about people moving, rather than talking. Other than Angelina [Jolie], most of the top girls don't do action nor are they asked to. Movies like Erin Brockovich, where you have a compelling theme, a very dynamic script and a real movie star doing a change-of-pace breakout performance ... it's an unusual combination, and it doesn't come together all that easily.
