Just as last night’s Malick report went live, a screenwriter friend emailed me this bit on the whereabouts of “The Last Planet”:
“I can report on the way down-low that Mr. Malick is deep in editing of that film--which probably will have another, as-yet-unreported title--and there is no end in sight. To the point that some around him feel it may wind up an unfinished symphony. Definitely not Cannes this year, definitely not anywhere this year.”
Coppola lost more than $100M on "Megalopolis," got hammered for it, and he knows the clock is running out for one more film. If "Glimpses of the Moon" is that film, someone needs to write the check soon.
