As a franchise, we don’t have any different expectations than anyone else.
The ways that you innovate within a franchise are not inconsistent with the ways that you create new franchises.
I think there’s a little bit of hope for the ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ the franchise now that Remy’s part of it, and Papoose.
A good fan base has developed around the Hurricanes, and I see the opportunity for continued growth for this franchise in the future.
I’m not interested in being Franchise Boy.
I’ve often found, as I did with ‘Bourne,’ where I was inspired by the events of Iran-Contra when I designed the CIA for the ‘Bourne’ franchise, that the reality of how things work is usually more compelling than the superficial, made-up version that Hollywood sometimes does.
With ‘The Elder Scrolls’, you’re looking at a 25-year-running franchise. It has stood the test of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies becoming popular.
We would have never thought of remaking ‘Aashiqui’ but we will make it a franchise.
The original ‘CSI’ grew stronger once the spinoffs became entrenched. Like any good franchise, when there’s a great story to be told, viewers can’t get enough.
Reality TV has blown away the need for a roster of familiar faces in films. Plus, films became franchise and didn’t need stars. But the real difference between stars and celebrities is that stars have training and talent, and celebrities just have exposure.
Funnily enough, I had a real giggle with Gary Oldman when we were doing an interview together for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’ Because I joked I was probably the only British actor who wasn’t in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise. The same is true of ‘Game of Thrones.’ Also ‘Star Wars.’
When you play hockey, you don’t realize how much it takes to put a team together and the business people around the team, what they do to get the franchise to the next level.
I think every time you coach a certain team, when you leave that franchise, I think you continue to grow. You take a look at the things that you did, the things you wish you had done better. You analyze your strengths and your weaknesses, and then when you move to your next job, you continue to do the same thing.
I’m so glad to have Xbox as a franchise, especially at a time when gaming is becoming even more important – as a digital life category and in the mobile world.
It’s very rare, in a movie franchise, where you have the same creative team behind the camera and in front of the camera, pretty much, for the entire growth of the franchise.
I think I’m developing a kind of subconscious loathing of the word ‘franchise.’ I just think of something that’s packaged, something you can buy on a shelf and is immediately disposable. I don’t know. It’s a really weird word for me.
I know I’m a franchise quarterback.
‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ was a movie that I repeatedly turned down. The movie’s producer, Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli, known for his tight-fisted control of the James Bond movie franchise, desperately wanted to re-team Julie Andrews and me after the success we’d enjoyed with ‘Mary Poppins.’
You can’t think of a franchise from day one. It starts with the audience accepting the idea.
When I was a kid, I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown, Hiroshima, has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know, and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant – sushi restaurant.
Even though I’ve accomplished so much in WWE as well as having a franchise in ‘The Marine,’ it’s still not enough for me. I always want more.
Sashi will assume the general counsel responsibilities formerly held by Paul Vance, who is leaving the franchise after 18 years of service.
The ‘Bachelor’ franchise does believe in happy endings – some people get an on-camera happy ending, some people get on off-camera happy ending, and some people get both.
I believe in our players, our coaching staff, and our entire franchise.
Franchise cricket is here to stay because of the money.
My career has been defined by dominating every opportunity presented to me. I am excited for my newest opportunity representing WWE 2K17 as the franchise’s ambassador and honoured to serve as the WWE 2K17 cover Superstar.
In particular, in the Americas that I have responsibility for, ‘Zelda’ is a franchise that is very well developed.
It was always my dream to play in the NBA, especially for the Lakers because they’re the greatest franchise ever.
