There's no such thing as a script that requires a half billion to produce. Their producer is an asshole who doesn't know how to budget. Hollywood is the only institution less efficient with money than the government.
Most movies could be made for a quarter of their budget if they stripped the crew down to people who actually do work and got rid of all the teamsters, cops, and other bloat on set. Most special effects can be done fairly cheaply, too, as proven by District 9 and Cloverfield.
not if you have to pay for two hours of bullet dodging.
