- A look at both Lost Soul and The Island Of Dr Moreau. One is a film of the disastrous production and what went wrong, the other is the terrible film that came from the chaos. The documentary is wonderful while the fictional film is unwatchable.
Oh.... BTW the CC doesn't help, I still couldn't understand about a third of what this guy said, but it's pretty funny sometimes.
Very disingenuous that you’re making eye contact with yourself in the view finder for the most/all of the video
What can I say. I'm vain.
GREAT documentary but I noticed something rather odd: in this film, no one mentions actor David Thewlis who replaced Rob Morrow. Not one person! No actor, techie, extra, producer, director, nobody! Really odd........
Thanks for watching. It might have been cut out. Also, Morrow was on the film for a day or two. Compared to the other crazy stuff that happened, that was kind of minor. Any time you hear Thewlis talk about the film its amazing. He hated Frankenhiemer with a passion.
I'm so glad i read your comment before buying the documentary (which is really expensive in the UK) as his opinion was the main reason i wanted to see it
@@nazarinprod Really?? I know Frankenheimer hated Kilmer
@@dnasty312 Frankenheimer hated Kilmer and Brando. But after the film came out Thewlis was pretty vocal defending Kilmer and hating Frankenheimer.
In the end things took quite a nasty turn for Val Kilmer health wise as he ended up with stage 4 throat cancer and now can no longer speak due to having the tracheostomies. I want to see his documentary 'Val'.
Oddly enough my video on that documentary goes up later today.
@@nazarinprod Look forward to seeing your video.
I agree Ronin was an amazing film, it's disheartening to see a director plunge off the end with a film like this, even if he was just trying to rescue a sinking ship.
Thanks. I think Franenheimer was torpedoing this sinking ship while being on it. (This comes from a massive Frankenheimer fan)
Turn on the Closed Caption for some funny shit lol.
Another one in my backlog but heard a lot of good things about it. Great stuff. Really want to watch the doc now. Seconds is a masterpiece.
Yeah it is. It's a shame how badly he fell in his later years
@@nazarinprod watching lost soul now, didn't realise rob morrow and ron Perlman were involved
@@leocoh89 So much talent for such an dispiriting mess.
The 1930s movie is fantastic
I actually loved that movie! I accepted it as being like The Rocky Horror Picture Show - fun, silly, campy.
Love what you love. My channel is full of reviled films that I enjoy.
@@nazarinprod I think the only takeaway is that it set out to be something else but they made every possible mistake along the way - starting with Marlon Brando. But that's Hollywood for you isn't it? I remember meeting Anne Rice just after Interview With the Vampire had been released and she admitted she had been disappointed with the choice of Tom Cruise initially but that he had really done a great job. I said, well, apparently he is hard working and easy to work with. With Brando, you're dealing with someone who is a narcissist. I just recently read that when Streetcar Named Desire was on stage, he drove Jessica Tandy to the edge - doing things on-stage such as sticking a cigarette up one nostril while she was in the middle of an important monologue. And frankly, I never understood the fuss about Brando, even as a kid in the 60's. I thought he was a ham and way too campy with his mincing, girly voice - like Vincent Price or Peter O'Toole. Imagine Laurence Olivier as Dr. Moreau! I mean he made Marathon Man brilliant.
Love this movie..the documentary is good to
I went to the movies to see The Island Of Dr Moreau when it came out in 1996... Whoever edited the trailer made a dumpster fire full of dogshit look like a cinematic masterpiece but less than 1/4 way through it i knew it had already gone off the rails with no chance of ever pulling it together by the end credits... But what was odd is that it just kept unraveling until it became an incoherent mess lacking any continuity whatsoever at all... I left the theatre pissed off,.. Not because of the $5, it was because of the 96 minutes of my life wasted watching that piece of shit movie... Another film running a close race with this one is Tim Burton's The Planet Of The Apes with Marky Mark -The Funky Bunch
I had the same feeling watching this film. It seemed to get worse every few minutes, more incoherent, turning slowly into a waking nightmare.
