Licorice Pizza - Speculation & General Reactions

[PaulElroy35]

So it's still untitled. The dragged out reveal of a title he always seems to do now has become possibly his most annoying trait. Especially if/when it ends up being what it was always called.

To be fair do we need a title before we even have a poster or trailer?

[Tdog]

Well I guess we now know who the new movie will be dedicated to.
R.I.P Robert Downey Sr.

[Alethia]

He still hasn't dedicated a movie to PSH so I dunno bout that

[wilberfan]

Using Phil's son in Soggy might be the ultimate tribute.

[Alethia]

Fair.

It would be hopeful to think that he found a place of assurance to be funded and work on his stuff at least for the next few years...

[Yes]

Isabelle Kusman who is in this has just been announced for the new Spielberg. She must have a breakout role or Spielberg has watched Soggy Bottom

[Drenk]

Or she's simply talented and—more importantly—well connected.

I'll bet the up-and-comers are on several sets of radar early in their careers.  Certainly possible that Steven saw some footage, of course.

(One night on location I was able to see the monitor from "Zone C"--always a special treat.  I still have a vivid memory of a closeup of a beautiful young woman...Wonder if that was her?)

In their other articles the film isn't marked, so I think they imply Hoffman as a newcomer probably hasn't become a SAG member yet thus he isn't eligible for the awards season (I'm not entirely sure how this works, though).

Anyone heard any updates on the film recently?

Do you think it will be the same as some of his past films and we only get the trailer a couple months before release.?

Seems like we havent  had ANY updates at all for a while now. I cant handle the wait haha

Venice film festival line-up announces in a week, so we could hear something then?
