Clint Eastwood Quote
-
I liked the Million Dollar Baby (2004)` script a lot. Warner Bros. said the project had been submitted to them and they`d passed on it. I said, "But I like it." They said, "Well, it`s a boxing movie." And I said, "It`s not a boxing movie in my opinion. It`s a father-daughter love story, and it`s a lot of other things besides a boxing movie." They hemmed and hawed and finally said that if I wanted to take it, maybe they`d pay for the domestic rights only. After that, I`d be on my own. We took it to a couple of other studios, and they turned it down, much like Mystic River (2003) was turned down, the exact same pattern. People who kept calling and saying, "Come on, work with us on stuff." I`d give it to them, and they`d go, "Uh, we were thinking more in terms of Dirty Harry coming out of retirement." And who knows? Maybe when it comes out they`ll be proven right.
