Re: LMI Is a Box Office Flop
I'm surprised LMI cost that much to produce. There must have been a lot of wasteful spending. I don't remember seeing any obvious special effects in it, but maybe I've just forgotten them.abner_mohl wrote:... nowhere near its $20 million production costs.

Re: LMI Is a Box Office Flop
they went to new mexico because of tax credits and cheaper production costs, if they filmed in california it have easily cost twice as much. but by way of american films these days, they got off pretty cheap, and to cast chloe moretz now would be more expensive as well.

Re: LMI Is a Box Office Flop
LMI received tax credits to film in New Mexico, which had areas that snowed in the Los Alamos area, to film in CA would have been more expensive iwth the higher labor costs. And since the release of Kick-Ass, Chloe is now one of the most in demand child actresses, so obviously her salary has gone up. Of course I imagine like so many actors like Nicholas Cage or Bruce Willis, if they really like a project they would take a pay cut.ColBlair wrote:I don't understand.abner_mohl wrote:they went to new mexico because of tax credits and cheaper production costs, if they filmed in california it have easily cost twice as much. but by way of american films these days, they got off pretty cheap, and to cast chloe moretz now would be more expensive as well.
