“Carl’s a lovely guy and an extraordinarily talented guy — he never should’ve been given $200 million to make a samurai film. He should’ve been given $3 million and you figure it out,” Carnahan said. His larger point is that a bottomless budget stifles creativity and problem solving that you’re forced to contend with when your resources are smaller, and it also keeps too many cooks from getting in the kitchen. That kind of mega budget, he says, put “an ungodly amount of pressure on someone” to deliver, since the movie has to be a major hit…and nothing less. And not only does he lay blame at the studios, but also at filmmakers whom he says should push back, if it’ll mean a bit more freedom when it comes to crafting your film.
