What Was the Hardest Film to Make? - Part 2

Фильм және анимация

Making any film is difficult, but we've found another 11 of the hardest films to make. Filming a one hundred vehicle chase in the desert, reshooting an entire film, and keeping up with Tommy Wiseau's weird demands. Some of these will be production nightmares, but almost all had an extensive list of issues that needed solving.
These are highly ambitious projects that quickly made directors realize they had bitten off more than they could chew. These are films that took decades to complete, led actors to lose hair from stress, or even involved someone drugging the cast and crew's food. In the end you decide on which film takes the crown for being the hardest to make.

    STEVEN SPIELBERG WAS right that the so called New Hollywood should ened after the Toxic chaos it cause! The New Hollywood was not without criticism, as in a Los Angeles Times article film critic Manohla Dargis described it as the "halcyon age" of the decade's filmmaking, that "was less revolution than business as usual, with rebel hype".[68] She also pointed out in her New York Times article that New Hollywood enthusiasts insist this was "when American movies grew up (or at least starred underdressed actresses); when directors did what they wanted (or at least were transformed into brands); when creativity ruled (or at least ran gloriously amok, albeit often on the studio's dime)."[69] This era of American cinema was also criticized for its excessive decadence and on-set mishaps.[70][71][72] Even Steven Spielberg, who co-directed/co-produced 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie with John Landis, was so disgusted by the latter's handling of the deadly helicopter accident that resulted in the death of character actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, he ended their friendship and publicly called for the end of this era. When approached by the press about the accident, he stated:[73 so called VIDEO ESSAYS done by Nerdstalgic, the fake asian yellowface Accented cinema and Flimstack are lazy TOXIC people that are antisocial and dont have Girlfriends because they're emasculated from they LAZINESS

    Jean Rochefort also said he hated working on the 2000 production of the Man who killed Don Quixote, because Terry Guilliam wanted the horse to look skinny and frail and thus the horse Jean Rochefort was supposed to ride was underweight and often starved (Jean Rochefort cared about horses a lot). When the movie production was canceled, the horse died a few days later if I recall. So yeah, Jean Rochefort never forgave Gilliam for that/

    That's a good point. This number is all over the internet though. At least one of the sources on wikipedia is from Life magazine in 1959, so we also have a contemporary source. I guess the question is, how much would a labourer have been paid in around 1957 in Italy? I couldn't find anything older than 1970 on Italian wages.

    For Nasrudin it was just a year earlier on 1967 when they began film production, Also he did storyboard the film, people say the complexity of the film is what caused its downfall but it was more of a setback in the middle of production, By 1992 they had alreadu finished most of the complex stuff in my honest opinion they really only had around maybe 5 or something shots that were complex and needed to be finished, i personally believe the reason why it failed was because of the story constantly changing and not actually able to spend full time on the project, and when they did get finished with a scene there was a chance it would uave to get thrown out due to the scene changing, this even happened during the warner Brothers production when they completed an entire sequence where the thief uses springs to try to get the golden idol but that scene is actually lost now with the completed version only being in the end credits of the princess and the cobbler. I think the statement about him making scenes longer than they need to be and then cutting the shots down is because he would sometimes decide to change the music or suddenly make a scene shorter to make the film feel tighter or to make sure they reach the desired film time

    It should be mentioned that Tarkovsky's Stalker is at least in part a heavy inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy. The map you play in is called the zone, there is mysterious entity known as the Wish Granter located in the heart of Chernobyl's Reactor 4, and of course, everyone who lives in the Zone are called S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs. had Stalker not released, S.T.A.L.K.E.R would not exist as it does now.

    Wages of Fear 1953, is an excellent movie, but there is a certain look that Friedkin is able to capture, regardless of the genera. A gritty reality and logic to each shot. Almost a newsreel documentary feel to the events. It was proceeded by the Exorcist, and the public seeing the title thought it was going to be another mystical adventure. It was not supernatural, although there is some sublime magic here. I was floored by 1917 and would love to see how it was set up, likewise. some of the Tracking shots from Children of Men. Poseidon Adventure put some of the cast at risk with the upsidedown ship sets. Before Cameron. Disney took a stab at Sience Fiction, It was not easy shooting Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.1954 Underwater shooting was rare in the fifties. and in Technicolor.

    "...instead of training real life Great White Sharks". There's probably a film in itself in people trying to do that. I mean, best of luck and all, but I doubt that's something that's possible. I would somewhat morbidly watch someone trying to train a Great White Shark though.

    Richard Williams wasn't super nice to animators during the thief and the cobbler, due to his perfectionism. The scene with the card trick had to be entirely recolored by hand by a colorist because Williams didn't like how they were colored, AFTER the entire scene had been colored.
