We could have it all again, if audiences had the courage.

After the commercial disaster of 'Dodes'ka-den' (1970), Akira Kurosawa attempted su!c!de as he was considered "no longer bankable" by the Japanese studios. He agreed to direct 'Dersu Uzala' (1975) in 1971. The movie was entirely financed by the Soviet Union. It is considered to be an important movie in his oeuvre. Three years of filming in the Siberian Tundra left Kurosawa exhausted. The movie was a modest success. After that, without other means of support, Kurosawa was forced to do whisky commercials (for Suntory). Akira Kurosawa's salary for the commercial was $30,000, but more importantly, this venture made his two great admirers in the USA, Francis Ford Coppola & George Lucas aware of his plight. Both of them would help him to finance his next project, 'Kagemusha' (1980).

release good movie. leave it in theaters. does well. man it’s almost like it’s a winning formula

I have the screenplay! Which we developed w Francis Coppola in and around 1997-1998 and its a Gothic Western!

hoping that Iron Lung is the final nail in the coffin of that whole “young people don’t want to go to the movies” mishegoss. if anything it proves that next-gen audiences would rather think of YouTube as a pipeline for movie theaters than a potential replacement for them.

Rewatched MINORITY REPORT, felt like hooting and hollering during practically every shot

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a gorgeous film. After 65 years, its design is still fresh. Disney's artists went for a new, adventurous look -- one that Walt Disney himself opposed. We explore how they did it: ─➤animationobsessive.substack.com/p/designing-on…
