Silvergate Studio picture,
LethalAgent III.
:38:05
I told you we should've gone
to Universal.
:38:07
Because quite simply, losses
on the first two movies...
:38:10
are amortized into the cost
of the franchise.
:38:14
We're making this movie
for practically nothing.
:38:17
Okay, but still, wouldn't it
be cheaper to make your films...
:38:20
either here or in Eastern Europe
instead ofboth places?
:38:24
Sure, but our movies are set
in Eastern Europe.
:38:27
You can't fake
the locations here?
:38:30
I mean, they're shooting
an African jungle next door.
:38:33
Sue, can you and I talk
off the record?
:38:35
- Willyou excuse us for a minute?
- Sure.
:38:41
Quite frankly, the, uh,
:38:43
the success or failure
of these films...
:38:47
is of little importance to us.
:38:51
We're afterbiggerfish.
:38:54
There are over
300 million people...
:38:58
in what was once
the Soviet bloc.
:39:01
People who are starved
ofentertainment.
:39:03
Movies shot in their own backyard,
starring their own people.
:39:09
I'm talking about building
major studios, cineplex chains,
:39:12
even theme parks.
:39:14
The deal I am talking about will make
Euro Disney seem penny-ante.
:39:20
Well, this is a great story.
A Russian Hollywood.
:39:24
And when do we go on record?
:39:26
[ Sighs ]
Two weeks, tops.
:39:31
But foryou,
:39:34
24 hours before
the rest of the world.
:39:37
Exclusive to Newsday.
:39:41
And in return?
:39:43
Postpone the piece you've
already started. Right now, what is it?
:39:47
It's a-- It's a story
about a small-time studio...
:39:50
and their two
unsuccessful movies.
:39:53
[ Chuckles ]
Who cares?
:39:55
What do you say?
:39:57
- [ Buzzing ]
- Well,
:39:59
if it's a Newsday exclusive,
I guess you got a deal.
