Hope no one was expecting any new news when they clicked on this.
I was thinking about this movie's fiasco the other day and wondered what problems Brad Pitt REALLY had with the scipt.
I mean, he was into the project enough to grow that beard and then copped out because of the 3rd or whatever draft, yet he had no problems with a script like The Mexican. Don't get it.
You commit yourself to something like this, a director you're a fan of and then don't find some way to make it work?
There's something else behind this project's failure, I believe.

There's official press releases and there's what really happened.

Rich, talented and famous? No? You'll never know.

We'll never know.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Praise Jesus.
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

either that or Ellen Burstyn's gone insane.

Yeah, could be.  His schedule is quite open considering he doesn't have to worry about raising his kid (because he dumped the mom when she was 8 months pregnant  :shock: ).
