What a savings

[Evan Littman @elittman88]

$6m gap on a $40m production a week out is something

[Variety @Variety]

Eva Longoria saved "John Wick" from shutting down by providing $6 million in funding.

“We were less than a week out and we lost almost $6 million on a gap financing,” says director Chad Stahelski. “We were financing independently to get the bond, but one of the investors couldn’t raise the money in time. [Eva] came to the rescue and she provided the gap financing, literally less than 24 hours before we had to lock the doors on the movie and walk away. [A producer] took us out to dinner [after filming], and we were laughing about all the bullshit that happened, and he said, ‘By the way, funny story, you know who gap financed you? Eva Longoria.’ We were were like, ‘What!'”

Y’all, it’s not that I believe or don’t believe John Kelly. It’s that I don’t care. Democrats have been calling Republicans “Hitler” since Reagan. The Democrats are as authoritarian as Trump, but he never threw a grandmother in prison for praying at an abortion clinic.

Apparently the insurance companies refused to insure The Brutalist because the screenplay was too long, so Brady Corbet just shrunk the margins to make it less pages and they fell for it. True king shit, oh my fucking god

The Zaslav Effect

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Warner Bros. wrote Christopher Nolan a seven-figure check, as a goodwill gesture, to reimburse the fees he waived for ‘TENET,’ and to lure him back after ‘OPPENHEIMER.’

Although Nolan accepted the check, he has chosen to stay with Universal for his next film starring Matt Damon.

Someone else said:

“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.

Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”

And after looking into it, I think they’re a genius and 100% correct.
