But, Regeneration, again, you read all kinds of things but the budget as I understand it was around nine [million] and we did that in Bulgaria so we got more shooting days and whatnot. This one was done in the states and we shot it in 3D and it was in the eight [million] range. But again, you have to take that into account that this is a movie in a franchise, there are a lot of rights holders and the actors get a certain amount. So, when you’re talking about your shooting budget, the budget that is paying for the number of days and your crew and your post; it was like three-point-six.
But after the last one I got almost no offers like that. You know, I think that it’s sort of picking up a little bit more with this one because the last one was quite underground. There was like… let’s put it this way; after Regeneration, before I got that great review from Vern and people like him… my agency dropped me because of that movie.
Collider: Why?!
Hyams: Because it was direct-to-video. They didn’t want direct-to-video guys.
Collider: Didn’t they know that was what it was going to be before you made it?
Hyams: They didn’t… I had basically been using that agency because I was doing TV and then I tried to get someone in the theatrical department. And that movie hadn’t come out but I had a copy of it and I showed it to them and they were like, ‘Actually, we’re not interested in you anymore.’ It wasn’t until people saw it and started really liking it that agencies came back and started wanting to get involved with me. So Hollywood in that sense, certainly with the executives, it’s really human nature I think, they’re not coming at it the same way that you guys are coming at it. In the sense that you’re looking to discover things and know that quality could come from any place. Their general way of operating is that they like something if it has been vouched for. And the number one way of being vouched for is making a lot of money.
