re: What the hell happened to Terrence Malick?

"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.
