Production Company Decision

For this task we had to decide what Production Company we thought would be the best choice for our film idea. We looked into the past films made by certain production companies and looked at various statistics like budget and genre to decide whether they would be the best production company for our film.

The first company we decided upon was Warner Bros Pictures.
Notable Warner Bros. Pictures films:

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Superman (1978)
Batman (1989)
The Shining (1980)
Police Academy (1984)
The Neverending Story (1984)
Lethal Weapon (1987)
Goodfellas (1990)
Gremlins (1984)
Free Willy (1993)
The Matrix (1999)
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
The film we felt out of this selection had most in common with our film was Goodfellas (1990) we felt that this film was most like our film due to it being a period drama about an underground organisation, in this case an organised crime ring rather than a political group like our film idea.

The budget of Goodfellas was $25 million which, although considerably less than the $80-100 million that we have decided upon for 'Iron Curtain' is still a resonable enough price considering the cast decisions and director decisions we have made for our film which we will be pitching to our class on the 2nd of december.
