Patience can yield so much. Want to see why James Cameron waited 15 years to make Avatar? Why George Lucas carefully planned the prequels to Star Wars? Why Steven Spielberg deliberately held scripts for years before creating some of the greatest movies ever? Watch 'Dreamscape' w/ Dennis Quaid (1984). It's roughly the same premise as Chris Nolan's 'Inception' but that's when the positive comparisons stop. The technology in 1984 couldn't support the dream movie idea and it equaled one huge dreamy failure. It's actually laughable. One thing I've learned over the years is that some of the best art comes from patience. Yep, I've been told it's a virtue.
