Goodridge states that Hollywood only want "tent pole" films. These are films that will be watched by men and women, boys & girls all over the world. They will be big hit films that will attract any type of person.
Tim Bevan:
Bevan said that producing a thriller or a drama would be a risk, because these days people prefer to watch comedy or horror films due to them wanting to relax and not have to concentrate alot on the movie. Another thing he said was that if a Hollywood producer made a film it would have a very big "bullseye" which says that it will be watched by a large audience compared to if it was a middle range film that wouldn't attract as many people. Therefore it would have a smaller "bullseye".
Lord Putnam:
Lord Putnam said that people are more interested in films when they like "who's in it" rather than "what's in it". Lord Putman has now stoppped directing films as he feels that people want to see established actors/actresses on a film rather than actually wanting to see the film because the storyline sounds interesting.

Shane Meadows (This is England):
Shane Meadows says that whilst he was making the hit film "This is England" he got to know and undestand the actors/actresses better. This then allowed him to know what sort of film was right for their personlaity. He could then establish whether he wanted them if he directed a film suited to them again. Whereas big hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise might not suit the film and because of this might even change the audiences understanding of the story.
