Paul Schrader: Bollywood, here I come!
Paul Schrader is taking a taxi to Bollywood.
Saying he feels the U.S. film market has become “barren,” the writer of classics “Taxi Driver” and “Raging Bull” is packing his bags for Mumbai to write and direct the Bollywood action movie “Extreme City.”
“I’ve been getting indie movies made for 20 years,” he said. “But I take a good look around and what I see is a barren, barren place — in terms of the financial community, in terms of audiences, in terms of distribution. It’s cold out there.”
In India, on the other hand, he says there are ways to gain both creative freedom and audiences.
