Reminds me of the early 90s when Malick returned to filmmaking after a long hiatus. For his comeback Malick had an enormous number of A-list stars falling over themselves to take a pay cut and risk a laughable script to appear in it, purely on the basis of his reputation... sadly the new film was bollocks, but it barely dented the enthusiasm of starstruck stars for his next one... and maybe the one after that, eventually however the procession of shitty films over the next few years meant he could no longer appeal to his mystique as an absentee master, and the er quality of the films left the rest of his reputation in tatters....
Though not as far as Korine is concerned apparently, the above quote takes me back to those heady days when the cycle of everyone - despite their better judgement - looking forward to the next Malick film before facing the inevitable crushing disappointment, was a regular yearly occurrence.
The filmmaker also said he would only return to working on "real movies" for one person: "Terrence Malick wrote a script that he wants me to direct."
