Stone Advice For Batman Director

'Batman: Year One' director, Darren Aronofsky and Oliver Stone recently gave an interview for Premiere magazine, in which Stone gave some advice to Aronofsky on making Batman.
Stone adviced, "Unfortunately, the very first obstacle is that the expectation level on Darren is very high, where he has come from nowhere and made two powerful films one after another [PI, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM]. How does he maintain that intensity and purity in a form that is very commercial? It can be done. The script has to be as intense and pure as your other two were, but perhaps incorporating more characters into that world and seeing that world with integrity. If you maintain that integrity in the script and you fight for it, they'll let you do it. I believe that. But if they really don't like the script, they'll move on and you'll lose that turn, but it won't stop your career. But it's a big number that you bit off. I mean, in the old days we worked our way up more. Now young first-timers are given $100 million movies. My largest budget has been $62 million on ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, which was a lot. But stand your ground, and I think you'll win."
