Sounds partially like a bunch of modern soft arse actors and crew want to do everything the easy way with horrible cgi.

And partially like Coppola is bat shite crazy.


The part about making Driver sit to do the special effect the old way is fine so long as they actually use it in the final film.

The bit where he changes his mind every day, refuses to map things out, and rolls w/a "we'll fix it in post" mentality is horseshite behavior and shows a total lack of respect for his post production team.

That's the exact same kind of behavior that has degraded how good CGI looks in so many movies the last several years. If you want it to look right you can't fly by the seat of your pants. The movie might still be good but if this is truly how the shoot went down then I'm not expecting much from the CG.

It sounds similar in some ways to how Apocalypse Now was filmed.

The Drinker has a good short video on the production on his channel.
