Working Title Heads on Going From Rom-Coms to Body Horror With ‘The Substance’: We ‘Didn’t Totally Understand Just How Full-On It Was Going to Be’
Speaking at the London Film Festival, Working Titles bosses Eric Feller and Tim Bevan discussed their successes, failures and 'The Substance'
This cinema fact was revealed on stage at the BFI London Film Festival in something of a rare public talk by the heads of Working Title, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. As Bevan noted, however, “Thunderbirds wasn’t our worst film.” That accolade, he said, went to the very first film they made after becoming part of Universal, Sally Potter’s 2000 “The Man Who Cried,” which boasted an impressive cast including Cate Blancett and Johnny Depp. For Bevan and Fellner, old hands in an ever-changing industry, “The Substance” offers a prime example of where the opportunities now lie in the independent film world, where exciting and bold new filmmakers can exist in the sub-$15 million space.
