US film studios too powerful, says Scorsese

Legendary director Martin Scorsese today spoke out against the power of giant US movie studios as he launched a campaign to salvage "lost" films around the world.

The 'Goodfellas' director, whose hits have also included 'Taxi Driver', 'Raging Bull', 'Gangs of New York' and 'The Departed', said he was concerned that the large US movie studios inhibited domestic film.
