Very informative post, made me add some movies to my Netflix queue. However, I also read it as a cautionary tale for creative people: "To that end he hired five artists and spent almost 2 million dollars, roughly 1/5th of the film’s entire budget, on art and design in preproduction. Looking back, it seems clear that he was perfectly happy spending his budget in creating, rather than on a creation. The process was the goal, not a finished movie." Unfortunately, this happens way too often with really creative people and teh phenomenal results that would have been obtained had the project succeeded never get realized.
