A very reliable source tells me that Spike Jonze’s sci-fi Netflix series, which had Brad Pitt and Joaquin Phoenix in talks to star, was going to cost the streamer a cool $30M per episode. The series was supposed to be ten episodes, which means that the total budget would have been around $300M. Netflix need not worry anymore as it was recently reported that Jonze has left the series. Pitt and Phoenix are no longer attached.
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.
