David Maisel remembers Donald Trump being there when the Marvel Studios financing deal was done, that changes American cinema.
And they talked to David Maisel, who mentioned a previously unmentioned guest at that meeting. Maisel said,"It was over lunch at the Mar-a-Lago Country Club. I remembercame by the table to say hi to Ike, and Ike introduced me to Mr. Trump at the time. And I remember him, Ike, saying I was from Hollywood, and I think this was right before Apprentice started in 2004, and Donald saying something about his upcoming television show.
It just seemed insane to us at the time. Because producing a movie is such a huge project. Producing movies is something that movie studios do, and we were a small toy company, a licensing company. We were a nothing company. So, the idea that we could actually make movies was an astounding idea and somewhat unbelievable to us."
Looking back, David Maisel says,"At the time, I'd say the environment was very fortunate. A lot of loans were made that perhaps should not have been made. Probably our loan should not have been made." But if it hadn't, things may have been very different.concludes,"It wasn't inevitable that superheroes would rule Hollywood and Marvel would end up in the position it is today.
