Martin Scorsese’s ‘JESUS’ movie and ‘FRANK SINATRA’ biopic have been indefinitely postponed.

There was plans to shoot both movies back-to-back this year but that will no longer happen.

This might be a hot take, but Silence is his best movie in like 20 years.

Age of Innocence is my fave of his overall though.

Age of Innocence is just a beautiful piece of cinema.

Love Age of Innocence.

Silence was so boring to me. just like going to mass.

TASTE! Silence is a fucking masterpiece.

Related, but what happened to the Martin Scorsese/Todd Field Gilead adaptation? https://thefilmstage.com/todd-field-joins-martin-scorsese-in-adapting-marilynne-robinsons-gilead-novels/ I'm gonna just guess not gonna happen for now.

The other day I learned there is an entire wikipedia page just for Todd Field's unrealized projects and it's very long LMAO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Field%27s_unrealized_projects

Oh, Todd. Lol

Speaking of the other other Todd with unrealized projects...Joaquin deserves Joker 2 bombing as badly as it is. Poor Todd Haynes.

[squirrels_oh_no]

And Joker 2 is directed by Todd Philips LMAO.

Todd Field makes three movies, each one gets multiple nominations and wins tons of precursor awards, can't get financing except once every 16 years it seems.

I like how his unrealized projects has a section for movies he auditioned for as an actor and didn't book. Someone on Reddit - idk how legit this is, it's not on this list - said he was the second choice for Jason Dean in Heathers but lost to Christian Slater right at the end.

idk Todd Field and Quentin Tarantino should team up to turn this scene into an entire movie it would just be weird and probably get a Best Adapted Screenplay nom given their track records as writers.

Also to answer my own question re: Gilead, apparently they finished a draft of a script before the WGA strike started. No news in almost a year now.

I hope Scorsese is ok, and it's not because his health took a sudden downturn, or something.

[lovelylaura23]

I hope that too, and I also hope Apple's recent flops didn't effect their deal with him. Keep giving him funding, cheapskates.

:/ I hope all is well with Scorsese and his fam

I'm only 50% sad lmao
