The Attack of Opportunity Film

An attack of opportunity film is a movie that comes about because you have some opportunity in terms of production capability. Maybe you suddenly own rights to a bunch of footage and you can try to figure out how to build a movie around that footage. It's sort of an efficiency based approach to cinematic storytelling. There are cases where like, we have a very famous actor on hand for, you know, two more days, can we do something with them that we can build the rest of a movie around later? Or maybe we have access to sets that have been used in another movie or props that have beenused in another movie. And can we quickly throw something together to make use of that?
