Forget about it. This movie has already been done with Richard Harris and John Huston (who did not direct) in the early '70's titled Man In The Wilderness. Actually quite good. Same story. Same source material.

I usually defend the director—even if the director is IÃ±Ã¡rritu, who's more Hollywood middlebrow than Cannes/Venice—but there is likely no compelling reason for this to shoot this in sequence. That's a borderline Cimino request. This is obviously a larger production, but it did apparently take Jarmusch seven years to raise seven million for "Only Lovers Left Alive"…

Maybe these actors should sacrifice their cushy contracts in order to get the film made if that's what it takes.

I wonder if the pay or play deal is also available for directors, since their time commitment is usually much longer than that of the actors. 2-6 months compared to 2-3 years or more.

Shooting in sequence can complicate scheduling tremendously, especially when multiple locations are involved. Extra $7M is an awful lot for most indie auteurs – this article is questioning whether the film might not get made at all – scheduling likely a big factor.

Plenty of films shoot in sequence. You now want to give someone credit just for doing that? This auteur worshipping is ridiculous.
