It's insane to me that fucking FRANIS FORD COPPOLA of all people can't get his movie distributed, but a prequel to the Lion King remake no one liked does?? Make it make sense. No I don't want another damn "live action" Disney remake, no I don't want another damn marvel movie. Give me Megalopolis!!!

Studio heads aren't stupid. This movie will lose money. Look at Bladerunner 2047. That movie was critically acclaimed and had stacked collaborators both behind and in front of the camera. Still lost quite a lot of money. Reactions to this film have been far more varied.

@necromaya 18 күн бұрын

@@mrebear9758 Doesn't matter. People will watch it for 2 reasons: the stellar cast and it's Coppola's LAST film and he spent his own goddam money making it. He said "fuck you" to the studios for 60 years. Why would he change now? Let him cook.

@mrebear9758 18 күн бұрын

@necromaya It does matter. Coppola's only secured a distribution agreement in France. People may be keen to see it, but if studios aren't willing to distribute it, viewers won't have the opportunity to see it in cinemas. And Coppola will lose much of the $120 million he personally invested to finance the film. It turns out "telling studios "fuck you" for 60 years" may make them reticent to help him by distributing the movie.

Something I noticed that was a bit funny: There was another film that was in production hell: it was Terry Gillam’s adaptation of Don Quixote. They made a documentary of the making of that film. However, everything failed in the end and the film ended up being more of an explanation of how things went wrong. Instead of a Making-of film, it was released independently. The film is called Lost in La Mancha, released in 2002. Then, in 2018, Terry finally finished and released his long awaited Don Quixote adaptation. The following year, a follow up documentary on the original 2002 documentary was released called He Dreams of Giants. The reason why I bring this up is that, both the finished product, “The Man who killed Don Quixote” and this new movie, “Megalopolis” also star Adam Driver. Just thought it was a funny coincidence.

@chemrebel 21 күн бұрын

Driver has become the thespian-patron saint of old projects finally becoming reality. The movies he did with Ridley Scott both languished for a loooong time as well as Mann's Ferrari biopic.

@necromaya 18 күн бұрын

Driver has participated in a half dozen "passion projects" rhat great directors made because he's a risk taker, and isn't out for just the money or fame. He's a REAL actor in the way Daniel Day-Lewis is. Anything he does is top-notch acting. Just ask Martin Scorsese, Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach and Ridley Scott.

As to points 6 & 5 I’m defending the master of cinema - loser wanna be’s in the ‘Virtual production’ design world wanted to spend his money doing a virtual design. He as director has his own vision & prefers ‘practical’ so these brats left because they couldn’t spend his money on their toys. Point 5 - executives in La la land have been raised on red bull & McDonalds just ask Jonathan Nolan Nolan’s little brother & another genius & I quote - Hollywood executives have such contempt for audiences so they spoon feed them mind numbing Marvel trash. & we are expected to take their opinions as gospel. Let’s get serious. No critic in the press ever made a film let alone something to be proud of . Coppola has made more sacrifices than Jesus H on rubber crutches so leave the genius alone. He’s earned his spot in greatness so many times it can’t be counted.
