If a traditional publisher offered me a quarter of a million DOLLARS for a NOVEL, I'd consider it. But ANYTHING less than that, I'm sure I can do BETTER on my own.
The movie business is not about the money. Of course, you need money to make the movie. If you have a small BUDGET, adapt yourself. Having $200 MILLION dollars doesn't ensure that you're definitely going to make a GOOD movie. There's so many EXAMPLES that PROVE that.
