Location, location...

Interesting quote from an article with an unfortunate title (if you want to read the rest here be warned that it contains strong language from the off):

Filmmakers usually send location scouts to look for places to film a pre-existing script. Independent film icon Roger Corman has long advocated doing just the opposite, urging young filmmakers to find a striking location—say, an empty mine or a dramatic old mansion—and write a script around it. It’s a practice that led to such Corman classics as The Abandoned Train Station By The Lake With The Guy In The Monster Mask and The Vacant Castle We Paid Boris Karloff To Wander Around For Several Days.
Roman Polanski followed that directive with 1972’s What? (a.k.a. Che?, a.k.a. Diary Of Forbidden Dreams), a half-forgotten disaster he made using the lovely Italian villa of producer Carlo Ponti as his primary set.

Does that reflect your creative decision-making at all?
