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.”
Is “The Exorcist” truly the greatest horror film ever made, or has time crowned a new champion of fear? Maybe it’s “The Shining,” ‘Texas Chainsaw,’ “Psycho,” or something entirely unexpected that still keeps you up at night.
