    Someone saw the "You get to choose your favorite director's next project" topic before this one and is now ecstatic.

    Huge fan of Fincher, love almost all his movies. He seems like someone who cannot commit to a project though. Doesn't he have like 3-4 other movies/tv shows in development with Netflix? Either...

    Either way, I'm exciting if this does go into production! The idea of Fincher's directorial style with QT's script is something out of a cinephiles wet dream.

      I was more excited for his western since I want to see his aesthetic in that genre. Who knows what he's thinking about doing.

        his demand that she sign “a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt’s physical and emotional abuse of her and their children.”

        Her filing goes on to describe an extended physical and verbal outburst in September 2016 as Mr. Pitt, Ms. Jolie and their six children flew from France to California. “Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her,” the filing states, adding that at one point “he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children.” Federal authorities, who have jurisdiction over flights, investigated the incident but declined to bring criminal charges. Days after the plane trip, Ms. Jolie filed for divorce.

        All three of Pitt's daughters have recently dropped his last name from theirs: in May, Shiloh requested that her name be legally changed; Zahara dropped "Pitt" from her sorority induction in 2023, and Vivienne opted to only use "Jolie" as her surname while serving as an executive producer on The Outsiders this year.

        After an FBI investigation into the alleged incidents, Pitt — who has denied all allegations — was not arrested or charged with any crime.

        I personally believe that he did assault them, and that it's just not enough proof or whatever for the case being dropped - and that Jolie indeed does not want to put the children through anything further. That's just me and my opinion though and I guess that doesn't really matter.

        However I do think that even if this never happened, it still speaks volumes that his daughters are dropping his name from theirs. You can make your own opinion about that - but it is factual that they did that.

        Because as someone that also dropped her father's last name, I can't express in clear enough terms how difficult that is to do. It takes a lot more than singular incidents to make that decision. And so that's why I believe the plane incident did happen.

          Jesus, that sounds quite bad. Honestly, up until reading that his daughters dropped his name, I was skeptical. But you are right, it is a bad sign by itself, even in the absence of hard evidence....

          I kinda wish I didn’t learn about this, since I really love a lot of his movies…

            It might help to know that this was almost certainly related to alcohol and he's now sober. To be clear, that obviously doesn't excuse anything he did, at all, nor does it excuse how Hollywood has...

            It might help to know that this was almost certainly related to alcohol and he's now sober. To be clear, that obviously doesn't excuse anything he did, at all, nor does it excuse how Hollywood has chosen to ignore everything. However, it does allow me to still enjoy his previous work, even if it's somewhat marred. Perhaps I'm just trying to justify why I still like him as an actor despite what he's done, but time will tell. Things may change if he continues to be petty in the divorce, or if more comes out to signify he's a fundamentally shitty person.

    "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was a three hour slog about nothing, and in my opinion Tarantino's worst film. What is there to follow up on?
