Thanks for all your comments. The guy is fantastic and passionate about what he does. Also stood up to what he though was right respecting women in the industry.
MenStyleFashion Sadly being truly moral, the everyday moral appose to a celebrity getting photographed twice a year feeding starving kids for publicity, doesn't count for anything in our society.
He is a no compromise filmmaker ! I have had the pleasure of meeting him and watching him realize some of the best genre films there are! Peace Christo 🛸🎶🐕☮️👽💀
I got to see Hardware on the big screen when it initially came out. Hated Moreau, but it wasn't Richard Stanley's fault. If you haven't seen the documentary on that film: Lost Soul, you have to see it. Be sure to watch the Stanley Outakes in the Extras. His grasp of the material, and his ideas could have made a wonderful film.
I think Stanley went in with the idea that the film would cost $8million but when you add brando and kilmer the budget went into the stratosphere and he could not control it.
I really love Stanley and his P.O.V about things. Very simple to listen to, and he is very sencere. Great interview! However....smoking indoors feels like a rather strange thing, but I guess everyone does that in some nations.
Lost Soul is a fantastic documentary. Definitely a deep insight into the Beast System that runs Hollyweird. A comment on his comments on loyalty. Fairuza Balk left the film after Stanley was fired. She has to be threatened with a lawsuit if she didn’t return to the set. You can’t buy that kind loyalty. He should have given her props !!
Really? Stanley was fired for being late to the deadline.. The new director was an a hole to val and Marlon Brando! He treated David ( Douglas in the movie) like s*hit.. He didn't take into consideration that Brando had a daughter who committed suicide and had memory issues.. Val was getting divorced.. And all that director cared about was to make the movie on time for the deadline.. Didn't even care for the quality.. Watch the documentary val for more insight and his book I'm your huckleberry
@@shaunsmith3757 I've seen that documentary and it only proved my point even more.. Val is innocent from these ridiculous claims.. All the mistake he made was agreeing to make that movie and not suing their asses for these false accusations .. Non of these claims are proved by anything but rumors and statements from people who hate him.. Or at least didn't take their time to know him.. All of his costars including David thewlis said val was fine and most of them praised his professionalism and dedication.. Val had his proofs on vid tape. U can't beat that.
I feel sorry for him it was his dream project and they binned him for no reason the film is horrific to look at with Brando's and Kilmer's ego's he stood no chance.
@Bro Vado Yea but I think there could be a chance, depends on money though, money talks. So we have to support Stanley, go and watch his movies, buy them.
Does anyone know what happened to the footage Stanley was able to shoot before he was let go? It'd be fascinating to see and compare to the finished version.
Stanley was a fired for failing to meet the deadline and for having creative differences with the rest of the team.. The new director was an a hole to him and Marlon Brando! He treated David ( Douglas in the movie) like s*hit.. He didn't take into consideration that Brando had a daughter who committed suicide and had memory issues.. Val was getting divorced.. And all that director cared about was to make the movie on time for the deadline.. Didn't even care for the quality.. The movie had problems like people getting out of it and others getting sick in the terrible set conditions.. Val actually apologized to Stanley after the movie wrap for disagreeing with him.. Watch the documentary val for more insight
An interesting man who's career was derailed (who thought to put any young director up against Val Kilmer AND Marlon Brando in the same film.) And, so true when Stanley laments the lack of actors with faces that have character.
How could you gloat someone's sickness and cancer of all things?! Making a movie that didn't work is not the actors fault.. Movies are directors medium.. Always.. He had a small part in it and having creative ideas didn't serve him right anyway
There wasn't enough space on set for two egos the size of Texas in Brando and Kilmer, and the newbie director. They had to get someone who would bring them into line - not someone turning 30 on his 3rd film, but born in 1930 and on his 30th.
Richard should be proud of telling val to f off. And thanks richard i was writing a short story and got stuck with the editing but your advice helped. Your awrsome mate. From a new aussie fan.
Val would never sleep with a woman without her consent regarding of the director who's making a decision for her and if val wanted to sleep with someone he'd ask them.. He's a big person on women's rights and sensitive person that's why even his exes still love him.. don't believe Whatever was said on val on the set of the island of dr moreau.. Please go watch the documentary "Val" to see his point of view and know he was deemed difficult because he was determined to make the movie work.. He and Marlon Brando bonded and tried to save the movie but sh!thead director John frankenheimer wasn't interested in their genius ideas.. Also val was having a messy divorce and his kids taken away from him on set so that should make anyone moody.. I believe val was innocent and it was a cheap trick to pin the failure of the movie on him and a pathetic way of the director to go back in the game.. All the other directors that worked with him said he was nothing but professional and dedicated.. Frankenheimer and batman and Robin Schumacher are not exactly the best to judge.
If Stanley actually committed the horrendous actions his former partner asserts that he did, he loses pretty much all good will his fans and viewers have shown him over the years, however, I've yet to see a ton of actual evidence proffered by his (potential) victims to be sure, as yet.
I like the guy, but he is not a film maker. He clumsily got into the industry. He admits to it. Now, did Val fuck him? Yes, that guy had an ego and his paying for it now. At any capacity, Stanley should have been able to get a film done. I've seen plenty of hacks truck through. Russell Mulcahy has been getting work. He needs to get his union card by directing TV. He would fit perfectly in a Netflix show like Dark Mirror. From there, aim up to a low budget film. I think he has a brand that could work.
He wasn't foolish. He stuck up for himself. Top man

Very intelligent man with an amazing imagination. Give this man a decent budget, someone!
fantastic interview! huge Richard Stanley fan
Wow!
What an interesting man!
Thanks for letting him speak without continual interruption!
+yeahweburnstuff Thanks for the nice words!

Such a pleasure to see Richard Stanley making movies again. Welcome back from Languedoc, Rich!
I think Stanley went in with the idea that the film would cost $8million but when you add brando and kilmer the budget went into the stratosphere and he could not control it.
No. When actors in the 90s and before had power over studios and smaller directors. Brando and Kilmer ruined this man. Thank god he is back
about right
I really love Stanley and his P.O.V about things. Very simple to listen to, and he is very sencere. Great interview! However....smoking indoors feels like a rather strange thing, but I guess everyone does that in some nations.
He's not smoking indoors. He's sitting outside the restaurant.
What an amazing man.. I just discovered him myself from color out of space and I've been loving his older films... really need to see lost souls..
Lost Soul is a fantastic documentary. Definitely a deep insight into the Beast System that runs Hollyweird. A comment on his comments on loyalty. Fairuza Balk left the film after Stanley was fired.

It's a shame that Val Kilmer was able to damage Stanley's career so extensively.
Where's Val Kilmer's career? In the toilet. Stanley's riding high on "Color Out Of Space"!
Very bad decision from his side....why did he feel obligated to do this?

@@sarashaker6147 watch the doc Lost Soul for additional insight. You may find that Kilmer isn't as great as you think.

thank you Richard.
I'm remise that I didn't know more about him when I shared a beer with him once. He's an interesting guy.
Remiss*
Richard Stanley is amazing.
I feel sorry for him it was his dream project and they binned him for no reason the film is horrific to look at with Brando's and Kilmer's ego's he stood no chance.
@Bro Vado now apperently Warner Bros owns New Line, ironic, because Releasethesnydercut is a thing, so why not make releasethestanleycut a thing?
@Bro Vado
Yea but I think there could be a chance, depends on money though, money talks. So we have to support Stanley, go and watch his movies, buy them.
I'm sorry for Stanley!
Let’s honor the moral filmmaker ❤ Richard Stanley!
Ladies & Gentlemen: That's an Artist!
Does anyone know what happened to the footage Stanley was able to shoot before he was let go? It'd be fascinating to see and compare to the finished version.
Love that movie...love this director...h.p Lovecraft's dagon was great for the budget
I knew I liked this guy, but as of this moment - 5:52 - I fckng love this guy!

He thinks differently. Respect.
Good man.

Look at Val Kilmer now, As in last years “The Snowman”. I’d say karma has found the “superstar” Kilmer👍
How could you gloat someone's sickness and cancer of all things?! Making a movie that didn't work is not the actors fault.. Movies are directors medium.. Always.. He had a small part in it and having creative ideas didn't serve him right anyway
i love that movie
Sounds like a great industry!
What movie is he talking about? The H.P. Lovecraft one?
Vraciu The color out of space ... not sure its actually gonna happen though .. cant find any solid info on its progress
Thank you!
@@TheManWithNoName. It's in post-production right now
@@UnderdogFilms100 looking forward to it
@@TheManWithNoName. it was effing awesome!

Anyone know who kilmer was trying to sleep with?

The blood ritual is what screwed up your career.
blood rituals are never a good idea
is he smoking cannabis?
oh, yea
yea, oh? oh no...what?
don't mind me , i m just a dumb girl, haha
no need to get down on your self, mine was a silly question anyhow.
No. He likes his roll-ups.
If Stanley actually committed the horrendous actions his former partner asserts that he did, he loses pretty much all good will his fans and viewers have shown him over the years, however, I've yet to see a ton of actual evidence proffered by his (potential) victims to be sure, as yet.
She keeps moving her hands even when he is speaking..
His movie hardware was utter shit. And that's the only thing he's known for other than getting fired from moreau
I agree. But he does sound crazy and I find it entertaining
um
mmm looking at the filmography im not seeing much quality.
Then you ain't looking. Or looking without seeing. Or, looking 'at', not 'into'.
Hardware, Dust Devil, The Color Out of Space... All are great!!
By not letting Val sleep with that woman you hurt that woman's career.
I like the guy, but he is not a film maker. He clumsily got into the industry. He admits to it. Now, did Val fuck him? Yes, that guy had an ego and his paying for it now.

I think he has a brand that could work.
