A Darlow Smithson production for BBC TWO.
Hollywood Inc. takes you inside the dream factory that is the American film industry, and reveals the process that takes a film from concept, through production, to opening weekend - blockbuster… or bust. Box-office profits and lucrative spin-off have made Hollywood a ￡20 billion-a-year industry and inevitably everyone wants a piece of the action. Hollywood Inc. explores the elusive recipe for success to discover why so many films fail.
This three-part series strips away the gloss of the opening night and exposes the struggles, infighting and determination required to see a film through to completion. Interlaced with film extracts are exclusive interviews with Hollywood’s major players, including Ridley Scott; Pierce Brosnan; Oliver Stone, Bill Mechanic, Fox Studio Chief 1996-2000; Bryan Singer, director of The Usual Suspects and X-Men; William Nicholson, writer of Gladiator and Shadowlands; Wes Craven; Denzel Washington; John Malkovich; Peter Guber, former Head of Sony and producer of Batman and Batman Returns; Dean Devlin, producer of Independence Day and Godzilla; Akiva Goldsman, writer of A Beautiful Mind; and Tim Burton.
Shut it Down
Shut it Down examines the nightmare of movie production, looking at the roles of the key players in the production process - the star, the writer, the producer, the director. Making movies is one of the most dangerous investments with only one film in ten succeeding, and it is in production that it is most likely to fail. If a studio has to close down a movie, then heads will roll. From Titanic to Charlie's Angels, Gladiator to Dr Dolittle, X-Men to Scream and Jurassic Park, Shut it Down explores the production process with exclusive first hand accounts by those who were there.
Many films march into production before they are ready - without a completed script as illustrated by Gladiator; or in the case of Bryan Singer's X-Men, without a leading actor. Once sets have been built and extras recruited, the juggernaut is on the road and the studio is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars by the day. The pressure is then on the director to work through and produce a hit. Ridley Scott, with the aid of writer William Nicholson, was able to do just that in the face of great adversity on the set of Gladiator.
The studios often use stars as insurance, they can mean the difference between a hit or a flop. Often it is the star's name that got the project green-lit in the first place. However their involvement can cause multiple problems. For the remake of Dr Dolittle with Eddie Murphy, Fox were presented with an unusual problem: "The first thing that we find out is that Eddie's afraid of animals… we have half this movie where he's in scenes with animals… so a lot of the animals that he interacts with aren't real, and there's a lot of cutaways," says Bill Mechanic, former-Head of Fox.
