Maybe you just keep going.
I don't know.
Well, look, I mean, there are a number of milestones here that have to be met.
First of all, the film has to succeed financially, and that's not a given.
Everybody just assumes it's a no-brainer, but the theatrical marketplace has been dwindling ever
And collapsing about 35%.
It hasn't rebounded.
And people's habit patterns have changed.
And so the thing that I grew up and love and feel such a strong sense of passion for may be becoming obsolete.
And maybe โ and the cost of making movies is continuously going up and the demand is falling.
So that's a little bit of a death spiral right there, you know.
And so maybe it's going to be okay.
We were sort of successful.
If we can do the next one cheaper, we can continue, right?
And then there's also that wild card.
There are other projects that I have that I've been sort of sitting on in the background.
And there's a thing that I want to do about Hiroshima.
I bought a book recently, but it's a story I've been following and excavating and researching for really my whole adult life.
It's something that I really feel strongly I need to do at some point.
It's not a big film.
