Why doesn't a24 fund it? I thought weird and experimental was their whole brand.
they dont fund 120 million dollar films
they dont spend 100 million on marketing
Visconti & Scola clear him, Gene Hackman gave life and identity to his precision, he left out the Vietnamese viewpoint and threw a veil of self aggrandizing myth over Kissinger's crime against millions and generations.
A couple festival screenings then a direct to special edition bluray, guaranteed.
Does Coppola have enough clout left for a Criterion Collection release or is this gonna be Vinegar Syndrome?

tbf the only have that empire of wealth due to him and he had a $400 million net worth prior to producing the film. He may have sold his vineyard for financing but it's not like any of his children are going to dip out much on an inheritance. Even if it's a Mega-flopolis he'll be able to write off a shit load off the loses in tax liabilities.
They'll still inherit like 100 million each.
Yeah, it'll no doubt be tough for them getting by with a measly $100 million in addition to the millions they've earned themselves but I'm sure they'll manage.
jack's not a tard, he's a with hollywood aging too fast disease. Simple Jack was just a parody in general of movies like I Am Sam and the one with giovanni rabisi i forget the name
>a parody in general of movies like I Am Sam
Sean Penn was already considered a legitimate dramatic actor when he did that film, where as Stillers character did that to try to do a dramatic turn
I don't really understand how/why there would be someone to pick it up and pay for it after the fact. I thought when he funded it himself he would set up his own company to distribute to theaters and then home viewing.
Instead he's just done it backwards, taken all the risk and now might find out why he wasn't funded beforehand.
that isn't how independent film making works
you make the film then you sell its distribution rights and the studio markets and releases it
or perhaps they buy it outright ("negative pickup")
for Coppola to release it himself means he would have to spend another 100+ million and do the marketing campaign himself/hire a company
>$100m on marketing
But I've heard of this movie countless times, but half of tge films with that kind of marketing budget I never see a poster for. Where does it go? TV adverts?
Print for posters everywhere, newspapers/magazines, tv, internet
It's one thing for you hear about it from browsing movie news, they need everyone to hear and go see and this mass saturation is how they achieve that.

There were a lot of drugs on the set of that movie weren't there?
It's Francis Ford Coppola, the man made some of the best movies ever. If he wants to put Shia Labeouf in the drag, he does it, if he wants Adam Driver to have a weird Roman haircut, he does it. And he should come back one last time and show everyone what he's capable of.
more like megasloppypus amirite fellas

Thats like 3 months rent in NYC

>your aristocratic family’s empire of wealth
they're terroni from Basilicata
nothing aristocratic about them, it's all self-made
why'd they greenlight the damned thing then?
Coppola funded the entire movie himself by selling his winery.
Why doesn't a24 fund it? I thought weird and experimental was their whole brand.
The biggest budget for an A24 movie is that new Civil War, which is less than half this.
honestly even if it sucks, Coppola's legacy will still be secure because he was based enough to pay for the whole thing himself
coppola made a couple of good movies 50 years ago. nobody cares anymore
Was this what Ben Stiller was parodying in tropic thunder?

FFC has too many flops for the price quoted

a lot of it disappears into the pockets of israelite executives and their buddies from synagogue
that is in the production budget
>too experimental and not commercial
>George lucas: just pay me back when you can frank
What if the movie is just too redpilled like the Passion and hollyisraelite is trying to crush it in the crib?
One anon said its about 2 israelites fighting for control
What is it about?

>In New York, a woman, Julia Cicero, is divided between loyalties to her father, Frank, who has a classical view of society, and her architect lover, Caesar, who is more progressive and wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
So, is this just FFC's version of Atlas Shrugged?

Some event wipes out NY and they're rebuilding it. Kylo ren's name is caesar
