Wow. From a writer/filmmaker perspective, these numbers are always horrifying at first glance. But Flexo is right. They do put in a lot of hours off the set. The interesting thing would be for someone to do an analysis to see how the money breaks down, percentage wise, between indies and big-budget films. Does Patricia Clarkson make the same % of “Pieces of April” as Bruce Willis makes of “The Sixth Sense”?

Not bad at all. Those stars drive most of a film’s profits by getting people interested in the movie. For their high fee, they’re expected to “do the rounds” on the late night talk shows, The Daily Show, etc. Fame is fleeting for most, though.
