Production on Apocalypse Now became infamous and iconic for just how difficult it became, undoubtedly one of the worst examples in Hollywood history. Coppola now properly returns to the directing chair for the first time in well over a decade (his recent […]
If you cast your mind back to 2019, Joker came bulldozing into the spotlight for various reasons, some good, some bad. It broke box-office records and earned $1 billion dollars on a $65 million dollar budget (the only film to have grossed that much on a budget that low). However, not only did the film […]
