Working Title Trips notes

Working Title Films - Tim Bevan, Deborah Haywood, Dan Mazer
  • To get a script written and finalised they go to several writers, they put their thought across on the script.
  • Production package includes script, budget, cast & crew.
  • More than one company put money into picture – limits liability if film flops
  • Piracy – most money lost in DVD market.
  • Fact based films hardest to make, "legal minefield". 

Production
  • monitor/track film until delivery
  • schedule, location, cast, crew
  • Rebates - higher in Hungary (25%), (20% britain if cost over 20mil)
  • Trying to film places in other countries - "studio space is a problem in the UK", americans using most of it for big hollywood films.
  • Atonement shot in 62 days

  • Not making drama films - ticket sales for drama dropped over last 2-3 years.
