I feel like this would have been perfect for Inglorious Basterds, if that movie wasn't directed by Tarantino. Instead of The Bear Jew, we would have had this woman.

Must everything be turned into a Hollywood moneymaker?

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I get what you're saying. And I get that movies only get made if they make money. However, things like this need to be brought to younger generations. People have forgotten too much generation to generation. The most insane of us have inherited it from their fathers. Hatred that bides its time until it can masquerade as order. Every generation needs to know why and what the generations previously fought hard for. So, let's just keep making movies. In a thousand years someone might find a way to access an archive and ignite (yet another) fight for simple freedom.

According to IMDb, it's in preproduction. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it lists the director and writers.

The Red Head https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29931730/

The story of three young girls in World War II, Hannie Schaft, Truus and Freddie Oversteegen, who are inducted into the Dutch resistance to assassinate Nazis and Nazi collaborators.

Directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Hollywood is one of the most unionized industries in the US.

There's a disconnect between the actors/writers and the producers. The producers just want money. They don't care otherwise, and aren't smart enough to realize how they're funding something that advocates against them. They do fuck with the script according to what they think focus groups will like. If someone brought them a Luigi script, the producers would tell them to stick in a lovable dog as a faithful companion to Luigi, and Brian Thompson's family would be shown eating DiGgiorno pizza for dinner because they got a product placement contract.

This is how stuff like DS9: Bar Association or Star Wars: Andor gets produced.

Damn, we need a few thousand clones of her, asap. Nazis everywhere lately. Although they started to come back right around the time she died. Makes you wonder.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Because superhero movies tend to have a solid ROI, which is why they get made: to make already rich dudes even richer. How do you plan to flesh out your seductresses Nazi assassin movie idea other than “she seduces Nazis and assassinates them” and still be a box office hit?

Find or be a good writer, get a decent script, and if you can convince enough movie executives that they’ll make bank off of it, your idea might stand a chance.
