Onur Guvenatam: “The main thing is not the actors, but the script”

OGM Pictures

OGM Pictures’ producer Onur Guvenatam, who announced that next year he will release the series of Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Tuba Büyüküstün, as well as Çağatay Ulusoy’s film “Struggle Alley”, said that the main thing is not the actors, but an interesting script. Even if he signed Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, without a good script, the project would have failed.

And it is also very important that the producer and the actor look in the same direction and understand each other. The actor must feel confident in the producer, want to work with him. It’s not about how much you’re willing to pay. After all, many producers are willing to pay for actors of this level.

When asked by a journalist, is it true that the leading stars earn 100-150 thousand lira per episode, Mr. Guvenatam replied that it depends on the actor. He never had and never will have a situation where he would “reserve” an actor, offering him insane money just to be sure that he would work with him. Superstars know very well that good scripts come unexpectedly, they won’t commit themselves.
