  • Good point, but it even solidifies what I am saying even more. Even with everything Coppola has done he still had to put up his own money, I mean he did this before with Apocalypse Now and had to mortgage his house.

    Despite running Zoetrope since the early 70s and making a long string of commercial successes, no one wants to front the money.

    Thing is he will probably make more on the backend anyway since he is taking all the risk and once it’s done he’ll have no trouble finding distribution. Hell, he’ll could probably self distribute and make insane amounts of money.

    Hollywood is on a slow track to irrelevance just like TV. Who would have thought that Coppolas famous “fat girl in Ohio” statement would be about himself…


  • The things that makes me sad is the only way something like this can get made in the studios is if the names attached are guaranteed to draw a crowd. Everything else is safe and calculated.

    40 years ago “Hollywood” started to pretend that it was making pencils and not art. That every production had to be a safe sure thing. Let’s all make the McDonald’s hamburger of movies just about every time, we’ll let you take a chance if you break a billion in profit but otherwise we want vanilla predictable serotonin juicers and nothing else…

    I won’t see anything anymore unless it has something new to offer. Otherwise they can all fuck off!
