btw...a lot of movies (especially indies) are filmed on a similar time schedule. Given that pretty much the entire movie is set in one area, it's do-able in just over 2 weeks. No special effects, no moving from location to location.

Uh? when a movie?s purpose is SUPPOSED to be realism, it shouldn?t have hobbits and magic rings in it. This movie does. It has a 14 year old chick with super powers (I?ve already explained this a 100 times, so no need to do it again). The movie had a chance to be great. Instead it?s just another run-of-the-mill superhero story. As for Feed, I really didn?t care for it either ? it?s just that it manages to create more realism than the piece of shit that hard candy is which is laughable.
About indie films, absolutely correct. I?d gather that most of them have a production schedule of more than eighteen fucking days though, barely half a month! My favorite indie film of all time is probably Rabbit-Proof Fence, oh how it was masterfully done. I?m sure it was just a few months on that but it looks like it took years to perfect. Was a beautiful movie and it stayed true with it?s goal of telling a true story of the plight of a native people. Sure Hard Candy stayed at one location basically, but they should have used some of that time to read their script "Do you think somebody will get pissed off that this little girl has super powers? NAAAAAH".
