Coppola's $100+ million passion project that he sold his winery to self-produce. Supposedly coming out this year!

early reactions are...polarizing, which doesn't surprise me at all based on the early reports. I'm still v curious though and wanna see it, even if it ends up being bad at least it'll be an interesting failure

"He would often show up in the mornings before these big sequences and because no plan had been put in place, and because he wouldn't allow his collaborators to put a plan in place, he would often just sit in his trailer for hours on end, wouldn't talk to anybody, was often smoking marijuana ... And hours and hours would go by without anything being filmed. And the crew and the cast would all stand around and wait. And then he'd come out and whip up something that didn't make sense, and that didn't follow anything anybody had spoken about or anything that was on the page, and we'd all just go along with it, trying to make the best out of it."

sounds GREAT!!

turns out it's...a mess! Big surprise

At least it sounds like it's 'polarizing bad' and not just 'bad bad'
