Some nice words from Ron Howard “I want every movie to have a big audience. I’m always hopeful that it’s going to be discovered, and audiences are fantastic that way because every once in a while they surprise you. I didn’t think Beautiful Mind was going to be that kind of global success. I really, really didn’t. I didn’t think Cocoon was going to be that; I thought it was a small story about some senior citizens meeting aliens. But to me, it was a very personal thing. But, you know, Black Swan will come along out of nowhere and suddenly be an event. King’s Speech, I mean, this is the great thing about movie audiences — and the terrifying thing about being a studio executive or a movie investor — is that it’s not manufacturing. And audiences will surprise you as often as not. And that’s good news. But it also means that sometimes you’ve given your heart and soul to something that you truly believe in and the audience looks the other way. And you have to be tough enough emotionally, and I think singular enough about why you’re in this, why have you chosen to put a year or so of your life into a story. [The size of the audience] can’t be the driving decisive element.”
