Whenever you watch the extra’s section of a DVD you will always find an interview with the “brains behind the film”. Now in these interviews I have heard thinking time varying from 2 years to 5 years. Now this is the time between when they first started thinking about that film idea to the time when they make it. Now just imagine you are in this time period and then you see a trailer for a film just like the one you are working on. How depressing must that be!
