The director of The Dark Knight stated, “I’m drawn to working at a large scale because I know how fragile the opportunity to marshal those resources is,” in an interview with Time Magazine.
“I feel like I have a responsibility to use the resources I put together in the most interesting and productive way because I know there are so many filmmakers out there who would give their eye teeth to have them,” he stated.

“That’s what we accomplished,” the speaker continued. “My town’s construction budget was $20 million when it was originally created. Chris said, “Yes, no.” Give up.
