And this...
Next up for Schrader is the Western “Nine Men From Now,” which he told IndieWire will be like a remake of Budd Boetticher’s “7 Men from Now” if “Terrence Malick and David Lynch took a shit on the script.”

In Bret Easton Ellis podcast he said they had agreed with Nicholas Cage that because Dying of the Light was taken away from them, they’d someday make a totally outrageous movie on their own terms. Schrader got final cut rights for Dog Eat Dog, but knew they didn’t have enough money to make an actually good movie, so he told everyone in the crew to throw in the most deranged ideas they had hoping to get a critical mass for a cult movie going on.black&huge wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:20 amAlso since I'm in here I recently watched Dog Eat Dog on netflix and this is a very broad question but:
What in the world compelled Schrader to make that movie? And make it the way he did?
And she worked with James Toback! Ouch!domino harvey wrote:Every time I think of Schrader, I think of Nastassja Kinski telling Peter Biskind, "I fuck all my directors, but with Paul it was hard"
I read that Alex Ross Perry has been working on one.barryconvex wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:58 amSchrader's a fascinating subject, thanks for posting that link. Someone should do a documentary about him the way Baumbach did about DiPalma.
It'll play on the Criterion Channel this very month :PfR73 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 4:58 pmI read that Alex Ross Perry has been working on one.barryconvex wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:58 amSchrader's a fascinating subject, thanks for posting that link.

Not all that surprising given the personal nature of First Reformed, but hot damn. Part of me wants to read Sapiens now, while a much larger part of me wants to smile more and throw on a Bogdanovich film.Jack Kubrick wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 4:54 pmMetrograph interview with Paul Schrader. Pretty bleak shit with regards to humanity fate.
Anyone willing to explore this further? That's quite a claim.The Wild Bunch is the last real Western
That's one of the fun things about the NYFF, spotting familiar faces at certain screenings. I mentioned Danny Huston at The Other Side of the Wind before (he actually dubbed his father's voice for the film in a few spots), but off the top of my head, Ralph Fiennes at Mr. Turner (wonder if he ever tried doing a film for Mike Leigh?), Isaach De Bankolé, Forest Whitaker and Steve Buscemi at Only Lovers Left Alive, Noah Baumbach and George Drakoulias at Cold War...not at the NYFF, but I remember seeing Paul Dano at The Deep Blue Sea and being pleasantly surprised that he was an enormous fan of Davies's work. I think he even volunteered to moderate a Q&A for him some years later, and I'm certain he was an influence when Dano directed his debut a few years ago.Never Cursed wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 6:25 pmHoly cow, I was at the same screening of The Irishman at NYFF as Schrader! Ed Lachman was there too. Glad to hear he stuck around for the Kent Jones talk afterwards.
