Exex speak at Variety’s Future of Film Summit
The future of Hollywood includes focusing on older auds and emphasizing the importance of a global view, according to panelists at Variety’s Future of Film Summit.
Meanwhile, the easing of the global recession and continued appeal of Hollywood fare is creating guarded optimism about the features biz.
Jeff Gomez, topper of Starlight Runner Entertainment, said studios need to provide far more than two hours of film when they release franchise pics. “If the fans like the world of that film, they are going to want a lot more content,” he added. “Franchises are determined by the size of the audience, not the size of the budget.”
