Denis O'Brien: Self - George Harrison's Business Manager, Co-Founder of HandMade Films

Quotes 

• Self - George Harrison's Business Manager : Terry came in and said, "I've got this great idea for a film. This kid is in his bedroom and then the cupboard door burst open and a knight comes through and they go through into a time warp and they go in from time to time." I said, "Oh, that's good. Come, we'll go and tell Denis." So, we - went to Cadogan Square to a meeting with Denis. Denis looks at me and he says, "How much will it cost?" There was no script. There was nothing. So, I invented a figure, I said, "Um, three million pounds." So he said, "Okay, off you go." And that was it. We were making "Time Bandits". We had no script. We had no-nothing. We had Terry with guy coming through a cupboard. And me inventing a budget, you know, and that was it.
