Hoffman fury at Hollywood 'euthanasia'
Richard Brooks
THE double Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman has made an angry attack on the
“euthanasia” of the film industry, which he complains tries to “bury”
any film that is not an instant cash cow.
“If the film doesn’t make money over that first weekend of its release,
they will bury it,” said Hoffman, speaking yesterday as he visited
Britain for the premiere of his latest film, Stranger Than Fiction, at
The Times London Film Festival.

At the end of Michael Moore's "Roger & Me," Moore uses the
same logic to condemn General Motors - they put profits ahead of the
good of the community. Hoffman's made a lot of money, he can do
what people like Robert Duvall and Mad Max did - put up his own
money to produce pet projects. It's no use trying to change their
minds, though. When a professor learns something incorrectly in
his youth, he'll teach it the rest of his life. That applies
here. That's where I see euthanasia coming in handy.
