The producer and director of Out of Africa believes that audiences no longer have the patience for slowly developing story lines - but admits he is powerless to stop the quick-fix movie habit.

He says, "Beginnings and endings are not interesting, audiences want the high point, which means you've got to get to it and get to it now - get the gun out fast, the clothes off quick."

"There isn't much patience with a slow developing story line (anymore), (but) I try not to get depressed about stuff I can't do anything about."
