Celebrities Talk About IMDb40 of 52
"I actually looked at [IMDb’s STARmeter] about midway through Music of the Heart (before it had come out) and saw this huge dip and it was exactly where I had been doing remakes but not directing myself. And that was a large part of my decision to start directing again and stop with the remakes business. We all know there was a huge financial crash. Part of that was just getting myself and my family back on our feet because they were good business propositions but I realized I was losing my audience in a way by not being the chief creative hand and not doing original material. I definitely felt that by looking at [IMDb STARmeter]. I said I have to either retire or get back to making movies yourself. I would attribute that [decision to return to directing] almost directly to seeing that [IMDb STARmeter]. It was so graphically laid out." — Wes Craven
