Megalopolis

"One person told me it's unreleasable. I didn't go there in my newsletter, but Kim Masters and her piece did go there. There's a scene apparently with John Voight, who apparently has an erection, 85 years old in the scene.

And he and Aubrey Plaza have an interaction that I think a lot of people in the theater were laughing at. There's a lot of other stuff that is sort of baffling. At one point during the screening, there was a live person that came up and started to have a dialogue with the screen, which apparently is like baked into the movie.

So try replicating that in a multiplex environment where you've got to have a person come down and talk to the screen during the movie. I don't know that that's going to translate. Like it's clearly an experimental already film from a guy who does not give a shit what people think and more power to him."






coppola just made a deal with a distributor in France to release it there, which automatically bars Netflix from buying it since France has a law that any movie released in french theaters cannot be streamed for 15 months. At a screener in Hollywood every studio passed on the movie lol

Something that's wildly different from the norm might be what cinema needs at this point.

You are saying this like there are not many movies that are wildly different from the norm constantly being made. Now, some are easier to have access to than others. I was going to mention Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, but apparently it can be seen on Amazon Prime Video!

I mean something that'll get wide attention / theater plays that is a major departure from the norm. Not the abundance of arthouse films out there, and they're great, but a big deal movie that might actually change the paradigm a bit and make it cooler to take risks. That's the vibe I get from this project, we'll see if it actually pans out in that regard.

Oh! I see what you mean. I am not sure that will do it though. Considering he had to produce the movie himself, I doubt that distributors are more excited than the production companies were. Maybe it will get a broader release if it does well at the Cannes Film Festival though (be it winning awards or at least generating some positive buzz). Until then, I would say that something like Poor Thing kinda fit your bill?
