(on his film The Gingerbread Man (1998)) Well, it`s criminal, their treatment of that film. There was a vindictive order from the guy who was running (Polygram Films), he was so pissed off with me, he literally told them, "I want that movie killed". We`re talking to lawyers, but it`s almost impossible to win a lawsuit. You can`t prove what a film could have done. They were just pissed off because it didn`t test the way they wanted it to with the teenagers, y`know, in those malls.
