He feels like he is on the Paul Thomas Anderson deal with A24. We don't care if your movies make no money at all, just keep making them.Pretty much. If I was running a movie studio I would just hand people like Aster all the money.
I am guessing I wouldn't make any profits, but I would probably really like the movies.
I do wonder if that will continue to be the case. Hereditary and Midsommar profited about 100M combined for them, but Beau and Eddington seem to be gearing up to be big losers. Obviously I hope it continues, but I am guessing they do want some money back on these at some point.He feels like he is on the Paul Thomas Anderson deal with A24.

Yeah if I am A24, I tell him he needs to return to horror.I do wonder if that will continue to be the case.

Listening to him in interviews, my impression is that was never what he really wanted to do in the first place, or definitely not the only thing. Horror is just a genre where it's much easier to get a movie greenlight for a newer filmmaker.Yeah if I am A24, I tell him he needs to return to horror.I do wonder if that will continue to be the case.

I believe someone here (Dan?) saw Sasquatch Sunset and said it wasn't bad. Ari's track record with producing isn't that hot either.
I get that but I would think at some point the studio would want to stop losing money on his films. Maybe they are getting enough back through streaming rights that they aren't as big of a loss as they seem but it sure looks bad when you see a $35-$50 million budget onm Beau is Afraid and it made $12 at the box office. Eddington was $25 and has made $4 so far. That just seems unsustainable.Listening to him in interviews, my impression is that was never what he really wanted to do in the first place, or definitely not the only thing.

Hes had a shell script for Eddington years before Hereditary and wanted to do a western/dark comedy but it never worked out. During covid while editing Beau he reworked it to incorporate his idea of setting it in 2020. There is a good interview on a recent episode of The Big Picture, and I am pretty sure he said that of his next 3-4 ideas one is a horror movie.
Yeah, and I don't know what the answer is. Obviously I like what he brings to the table and how his mind works about movies. I said elsewhere in the last couple years I could listen to him and Bill Hader talk about movies all day. They have Tarantino-esque encyclopedic knowledge about movies, but for movies that I like and click with. They geek out about weird Japanese movies and stuff like The Brood instead of spaghetti westerns and Blaxploitation flix. I don't see many of those movies making much money if any at all, but obviously I am all for studios trying to get those weird voices on screen.
Highly recommend Sasquatch Sunset
I would counter that Hereditary is not a great name for a movie either. Horror has a dedicated built in crowd that will largely see just about anything though. A 3 hour Beau is a tough sell, and I think everybody involved probably knew a movie in 2025 largely about covid/Floyd protests would be a pretty hard sell as well.
Maybe, I kind of like Hereditary as a horror title. But yeah they had to know Eddington would struggle at the box office. Hoping for big awards buzz down the road? But then why release in the summer? Not sure what the process is there.
I was going to ask how many edibles were involved.
There's no way I watch Beau - everyone who sees it says it's 3 hours of how it feels to have anxiety. No thanks.
Yeah, that's about what it is, and it's sort of broken up into different scenes or situations that represent a different type of fear or anxiety. Aster had a very weird and dark sense of humor.
I would not recommend it Not for any anxiety or anything but just because it makes no sense and It’s just not good. I didn’t care for it at all.
You cut me deep here, gb.
I was expecting it to be much worse so I was happy through the first two thirds of the movie but the last third was bad. That said I was expecting much worse and was entertained enough to recommend watching it to others.
It's Nolan, it will be good!
He certainly has a strong track record but going to ancient Greece feels like a big leap for him. I hope it pays off though, it's important to have good filmmakers making unique movies and them being critically respected, loved by the general public and raking in big profits. He's one of the rare people in Hollywood who can make a claim for satisfying all three of those areas. It is kind of funny though him tackling The Odyssey as it's basically the Marvel comics of it's time. I was tempted to make a joke about it being another lame IP movie.
I mostly agree, although there were a few scenes that made me laugh pretty good. The ending golf sequence was pretty dumb, though.
Tenet slaps it low walking backwards.
Eminem was in itI can't believe Eminem signed on for that part
I haven’t heard anything about it being 2 movies
Um that's what I said?Eminem was in itI can't believe Eminem signed on for that part
Yep, fantastic movie. There are a few scenes that stand out to me starting with the tunnel.
I forgot the question markUm that's what I said?Eminem was in itI can't believe Eminem signed on for that part
Hobbit is 300 pages, so it takes one movie per 100 pages.
Some expected plot holes but yeah, pretty good use of 2 hours on a plane for sure.
