This is the perfect sentence for his last 4 or 5 movies. Christopher Plummer said it better than anyone. Plummer: "I'll Never Work With Him Again."

He has become too in love with his own visuals. I don't know how anyone funds his movies or any actors work with him because of the final product being so strange and unflattering to the actor. I remember watching a Texas Longhorn football game in Sept or October of 2012, yes 2012, and the broadcast showed Natalie Portman and Fassbender watching the game from the concourse. That movie still hasn't fricking come out yet!!! It was 3 1/2 yrs ago! The announcers didn't even recognize Fassbender because he wasn't a big star yet, and Portman had just come off her Black Swan ride!

I remember this because I've kept waiting to see trailers for this movie and it never happened. Recently I looked on Malick's IMDB and it hasn't even been finished! LINK The cast is incredible, but it will probably be so nuts it's unwatchable.

"You're so boring, you've got to get yourself a writer." - to Malick

Yeah, I've heard that before and that he cut out Adrian Brody as the lead in The Thin Red Line despite shooting hours and hours of film with him...and the rep is Malick shoots tons of film and then makes his movies in the editing room and doesn't bother telling the actors.

As Brody said about Malick: "You know the expression, don't believe the hype?, well you shouldn't."

Bill Pullman, Viggo, Martin Sheen and Rourke were also cut out completely.

Rachel Weisz and apparently Jessica Chastain and Amanda Peet filmed long scenes for To The Wonder but were completely edited out.

But famous actors keep lining up for him...look at his recent film....Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Brian Dennehy...

I don't get it.
