Hollywood studios are feeling the recession as much as any other business and want to move away from accepting the pay demands made by A-list stars on the grounds that the past year has seen small films with unknown actors become box office hits (Twilight, The Hangover, District 9) while several big-budget star vehicles (Duplicity, Land of the Lost, Funny People) have flopped.
In relation to the above, extremely low-budget movie The Hunt for Gollum (made for a measly £3000) has been a huge hit ever since it was released on the internet in May. Four million people have already seen it! Be the four million and first and watch it here!
