“I’m very supportive of them making a great new movie. It would have been nice to be involved but now that I’m not, I sort of compartmentalize it for myself. I need to devote my energy to keep making new, original things that are going to be hits and people can remake them in 20 years. So that’s what I’m doing now,” Mark said.
He added, “You can’t worry about the projects that you don’t do. It certainly would have been fun, and I heard from quite a few cast members while they were shooting, saying, ‘Where the hell are you, Waters?’ I have not forsaken you! I’m sorry.”
Mark‘s most recent movie was a rom-com for Netflix!
