No way in hell this movie gets made today.

I don't know - good actors want to do these movies, even if only a break between their paycheck films. If they form collaborative groups, they can fund/release some of these themselves. Even if they don't "make" money, just break even with a streaming deal or whatever, they would be free of studio interference.

I can see guys like Ed Norton or Tom Hardy doing something like that. Or even in collaboration with Tarantino, Fincher, etc.

It can be done. It should be done. It would be liberating and remove studio (and Red China) influence that is crushing creativity in modern big budget filmmaking.
