Beatty hasn’t made or been in a movie since he directed himself in “Town and Country” in 1991.

lol he didn't direct town & country, and it was released in like '01, not '91
bulworth was indeed his last triple threat film

Didn't he unofficially take over T&C and run it into the ground?

i'm glad that the christopher nolan/jim carrey howard hughes movie never happened.

He was reportedly offered “Kill Bill Pt. 1″ by Quentin Tarantino, but turned it down
huh hadn't heard about this but can totally see him in that role actually. although Carradine is a better casting choice overall.

“More than a quarter century after he brought Dick Tracy to the screen, Warren Beatty is considering making a sequel,” reports James Rainey for Variety. Meantime, we can “expect a fall or winter release for Beatty’s long-gestating passion project, the yet-to-be-titled [Howard] Hughes film.”
“I’m serious about it, but I am slow about these things.”

I really want to watch Reds (I have the DVD! Somewhere!). Parenthood is not yet compatible with a four hour movie though.
― Jerry Lee Lewis: The Total Film-Maker (stevie), Sunday, 17 April 2016 07:33 (eight years ago) link
yeah, and it's def. the kind of movie you want to watch in one sitting (although IIRC there's a built-in intermission)

195 minutes, or about 40 more than the next Captain America movie

It's not very good but it's an Important Movie, and it's one of the few times I'll claim that I admire a director's risk.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 April 2016 20:32 (eight years ago) link
yeah I wasn't that impressed with Reds the last time I watched it, much as I admire Beatty and his other work during that period in particular.

btw between The Fortune (75) and Ishtar (87), the only films WB did are the two we just mentioned.

A good while back I caught on tv a good chunk of $ (Dollars), an early 70s German-set heist movie w/Beatty, Goldie Hawn, and a bunch of local character actors who appeared to be waiting for Fassbinder to cast them in something. Was intriguing, but I've yet to revisit.

strange that was a Richard Brooks joint, given his rep for heavier prestige fare (In Cold Blood, Looking for Mr Goodbar).
It's one of those few ill-regarded Beatty films i never felt the urge to check out, ditto The Only Game in Town w/ Liz Taylor -- that was George Stevens' last movie!
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 April 2016 21:13 (eight years ago) link
I do like Heaven Can Wait! Tho I was referring more to the 70s generally (yes I know Redds is '81), had forgotten Reds was essentially the end of that period of his career
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 April 2016 21:15 (eight years ago) link
essentially the end of his career, period. Ishtar and Dick Tracy beckoned.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 April 2016 21:17 (eight years ago) link
both films that are trying to do stuff, whatever the results. DT is a good movie, Madonna aside.
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 April 2016 21:19 (eight years ago) link
(Warren also has the best dialogue in Truth or Dare).
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 April 2016 21:20 (eight years ago) link
DT is def interesting, idk if it works but as a unique oddity it's noteworthy
― Οὖτις, Monday, 18 April 2016 21:20 (eight years ago) link
Ishtar's better than DT. It's not great but I don't get its reputation as a turkey other than by people who read Variety.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 April 2016 21:21 (eight years ago) link
i think REDS is enormously impressive on its own terms! it's one of the most intelligent and involving of those big sprawling epic films (that were already way out of fashion in the early 1980s)
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 18 April 2016 22:07 (eight years ago) link
Up to a point. That damn dog scratching the bedroom door and Diane Keaton hiking across the tundra might disagree.

nah, i like that stuff. go big or go home!
― wizzz! (amateurist), Tuesday, 19 April 2016 04:36 (eight years ago) link
I think Ishtar was drubbed because losing money is a surefire way to get hated in Hollywood. When they put up big upfront $$ they demand big $$ results.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 19 April 2016 19:36 (eight years ago) link
i remember laughing fitfully for the first 45 minutes of Ishtar, and not much after that.

also i love Elaine May, but her working 'methods' seem utterly nuts esp in postproduction

I want to see Ishtar. I have Mikey And Nicky here waiting to be watched, too.
― Jerry Lee Lewis: The Total Film-Maker (stevie), Wednesday, 20 April 2016 08:28 (eight years ago) link
mikey and nicky is great. ishtar has become kind of overrated as an overcorrection in some quarters though not nearly as much as say heaven's gate. it received a high degree of notoriety as a flop because it had a long and troubled production so the pump was primed, it was dustin hoffman's first movie since tootsie and warren beatty's first movie since reds so it was kind of an event and frankly there were alot of ppl ready to take joy in those two flopping esp w/ beatty, who still had a kind of aura around him as not just a movie star (esp since around this time his buddy gary hart looked like he would be the next president). town and country (look it up) was a bigger disaster on all counts but by then america had moved on to ben affleck for their smug pretty boy kicks so instead of talking about town and country we talk about gigli.

Stevie, if you have Mikey and Nicky to watch on this UK DVD, I would hold off - the image quality is atrocious, and utterly ruins the film:

I notice that one of the main actors is the dude from "The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty Kick".
― Romeo Daltrey (Tom D.), Wednesday, 20 April 2016 13:20 (eight years ago) link
Ishtar also cost whatever ($100 million?) and no one under 30 wanted to see a big-budget spin on Hope & Crosby.
Isn't odd that there's only one mention way up top of Splendor in the Grass? William Inge is kind of the quintessential acclaimed middlebrow dramatist of that era, but it's quite a time capsule of how sex & youth was regarded in 1961.
