Michael Taylor Quoted

In McClatchy Newspapers

Production chair Michael Taylor was quoted in the McClatchy Newspapers about the reasons for the box-office failure of several Iraq War-themed movies. “When you’re being bombarded by so many media images of this war on a daily basis, and then the weekend comes and you’re thinking about going to a movie to escape, do you want to see more of it? I suspect the answer is no,” Michael said.

The unpopularity of the war does not help, he added, contrasting it to World War II: "Audiences wanted to go see movies about it, particularly movies that were really about heroism and bravery and made people feel good.”
