An original story Bullit does sound ground breaking enough to me. I think it'll make a great summer blockbuster along with Blackhawk if he makes that one too. As for the George Gershwin, I don't know if he'll be able to make that one. That film has been in development since 2010 and we still haven't heard much about it since.
I agree that he can be a bit sentimental at times, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything ground breaking or revolutionary. He did say that he has a few Westerns in development and he hopes to direct one soon. And he said before that if a story speaks to him in a way, he'll make a movie about it. He still has the guts to do it.
I felt like that it had the opportunity to win Best Picture but I think Elgort's allegations might've thrown the Academy voters off. They probably didn't wanna give the award to a film that stars an actor with problems.
Interesting take. Do you think him making a western with absurdist themes like EEAAO has will be appealing to today’s audience and generation? I could see him making a film like that.
