Alec's Sex Film
The entire premise sounded awful. No wonder they can't get it financed. Who wants to see Alec Baldwin have "exploratory sex" in Afghanistan for two hours??
shareI sort of took the whole "Last Tango In Paris" thing as a kind of joke. Neither he nor Toback seem to be incredibly passionate about getting the film financed and even seem to be smirking through half of the meetings. I think they were trying to demonstrate the difficulty of getting financing or maybe just to show us what the process was like. I felt this aspect of the film was so-so. They had a great movie just by going to Cannes and getting those famous directing legends to tell a few stories!

I agree. The project was such a turkey, though. They could have come up with a more enticing one.

Wow, did you guys totally miss the point of the movie. What they were trying to finance was irrelevant, except maybe as an inside joke. It is the process they were showing. It could have been "The Godfather"; it wouldn't have made any difference.
I used that film as an example, of course, since you chose one of the most overused lines in film history as your signature. How original of you.
How can you "show the process" if your concept is so ludicrous that you won't even be taken seriously from the ouset? That's what we are discussing here. I think *you* missed the point of this thread.
