Howard Hughes bio-pic "The Aviator", Hollywood lies, and film trailer MODs all went into the mix this week as the quest to distill the re-mixable film experience continues. Just Doing It vs The Business continues...
Scorcese's film depicts Hughes' obsessive compulsive behavior pursuing a multitude of dreams. The Spruce Goose, the world's largest plane, eventually makes it off the ground but nothing could to lift Hughes out of his downward spiral into madness. Another casualty of Being First syndrome? Or the proud instigator of adventure while it lasted? Either way, good to be reminded that even the world's richest man had money problems finishing his inventions.
Elliot Grove spells out film biz wisdom, and flogs film courses, via his Hollywood lies column for an LA trade magazine.
And PS260 alternative film trailers for The Shining, Cabin Fever, West Side Story, and Titanic illustrate the point that re-mixable films are out there already.
