“Let all those critics make their own movies, and they can restore them as they see fit. That’s my opinion. Jim, in every possible meaning of the word auteur, is an auteur. And whatever version he wants to release, everyone should be fine with. You know, it’s his film!

When asked about how many fans who grew up with these films do feel a certain degree of ownership over them, she admitted, “Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Absolutely. We made the movie for the fans, not for the critics, even though we did get some lovely reviews. And so, they’re absolutely entitled to their opinion. But, you know, Jim’s entitled, creatively, to do it absolutely how he sees fit. You know, it’s his creation.”
