3 hours long and set to premiere at Cannes https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2022/3/nwpl1tdkyp2shi9i5x0xuk2blfqtfx not a fan of horror and haven't seen midsommar or hereditary but the (dated 2014) script for this is wild
Are we sure that the Beau movie is what turned into this? The logline that people keep giving for Disappointment Blvd. is “an intimate, decades-spanning portrait of one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time” and that doesn’t sound anything remotely like that Beau movie.
The link I posted gives a different description that's closer to the script. The paparazzi photos from the shooting have a few things that show up in the script ( skid row homeless camp) and his PJ's have the name Beau embroidered on them (I have a guess on what that scene is in the OG script). There's a few other BTS shots of things that are also in the script ( dead body mannequin of a character that dies, another of literally the final shot) and IMDB cast listings that line up with the script. Trust me, I had a day with nothing to do at work when I read the script and did a bunch of digging lol. I think it's generally the same story, but I'd imagine a few things changed. Also I saw a Reddit post that does work out how that description kinda does make sense
this is the google drive folder I found on Reddit and is usually where I grab them. Screenplays (By Professionals) - Google Drive We'll see if this discovery ruins movies for me
I’m listening to the most recent ep of Little Gold Men (great film award-centric pod) and one of the reporters said he heard that the current cut of this movie is 4 hours long lmao. I can’t imagine it will stay at that length but it’s likely going to be quite long regardless.
Midsommar (both versions) was the rare movie that felt too short despite its runtime. I wanted to spend more time immersed in that world.
