- Jim Carrey had his heart set on the role of a Hughes in his later, reclusive years, and Nolan would refer to his completed screenplay as, ''The Greatest Script I've Ever Written.''

Dude that 9/11 part was the biggest plot twist of all time
I seen a conspiracy and was about psychologically warning you about what they were doing etc like Howard Hughes was flying planes. and obviously 9/11.....
8:51 am
Right!?!? I literally shouted “Oh My God” when that happened. Crazy!
That's insane!
For me, was a strange moment. It felt a missing part just came in and that part make sense.
This could go down as an equivalent to Kubrick’s Napoleon... Damn, there are too many of these unmade masterpieces in movie history, so much interesting stuff that’ll never make it off the page.
Steady on there mate true it could be a great film but one can not assume it would be a masterpiece.
@@verisimilitude8660Agreed. And LOTS of films that maybe shouldn’t have been made.
jim carrey and christopher nolan would be an epic combo...
Agreed
Yeah! I had no idea about this project.
Scorcese and leo cmon
Absolutely! We really missed out.
Yeah one of them is even talented.
It's christopher nolan. He's the talented one.
15 years after The Aviator? Heck they can still make this
I recently rewatched it. It hasn't held up that much. Would look forward to Nolan's version.
Yeah no one remember that movie now.
Its an awesome movie. Everybody remembers it.
Pauley Gambino Hollywoood is constantly making copycat movies. 2 Boston Bomber movies, 2 volcano movies, 2 meteor movies, 8 BILLION FUCKING Exorcism movies. Why couldn’t we have 2 Howard Hughes movies?
Jim Carrey is almost 60. They would have to find a new Howard Hughes..
The quality of this video is crazy good. I was expecting to watch 3 minutes, instead i watched the full thing. Very well researched and edited, great work my dude
Cheers & thanks for stopping by!
So you're telling me that if it wasn't for "The Aviator" being made, Chris Nolan's catalog of films would look a bit different today? It's amazing how our reality works.
It would have a film based on Howard Hughes in it. That’s it.
@@polyestermammoth740 and no Batman trilogy
The Aviator is probably my favorite Scorsese film, but one could only imagine what that story would look like with Nolan behind the camera.
It will be only rewatchable biopic other than boring Other biopics
You imply that Nolan, by definition, would have produced a better picture than Scorcese’s, which is a nonsense:
@@polyestermammoth740 not at all, I enjoy both filmmakers evenly.
@@alexanderg1297 Nobody's perfect.
@@polyestermammoth740 what? Also, when did I ever say In my original comment that I thought Nolan would make a better movie than Scorsese??
“The Aviator” was fantastic but I wonder about Jim Carrey and Christopher Nolan would of d d duh duh done “show me the blueprints”
I'm sure we're gonna see it some day, they're both still young and with the deep fake style CGI the sky's the limit.
@@4Everlast the aviator
@@AtticTapes14 Was that a question ?
Dino Sabalić Nolan would never use it. He is not in favor of CGI at all.
@@erikfriis5571 Really? His movies are jam packed with CGI, and it's perfecty fine if you use it properly and he has. CGI has to be like make up placed ON the actor NOT substitute the actor and many have made that mistake.
They could still do this. Carrey's probably more suited now than ever.
He's barely one step away from kleenex boxes on his feet, at this point!
You’ve been watching the Simpsons too much. Don’t believe the ridiculous myths about Hughes.
@@polyestermammoth740 I haven't watched The Simpsons Howard Hughes episode or bits so have no idea what you are referring to.
@@JamesMc2051 I was talking to @ffejpsycho- the kleenex boxes on feet myth originates in an episode of that show. (Agree wholeheartedly about Carrey).
@@polyestermammoth740 Ah. I see. Thought it was aimed at me since it was under my comment.
I believe it took Nolan 10 years to make Inception and 20 years to make Tenet. So I don’t think he has given up on this film, I hope not. It’s incredibly fascinating and would be even more so under Nolan’s helm. I would love to see his take on a biopic.
Well you got your wish on the biopic thing!!!
Oppenheimer is fantastic. Can’t wait for my second viewing.
@@matthougas928 Same this time I’m going IMAX 70mm
I absolutely LOVE Christopher Nolan, Howard Hughes and Jim Carey. So this feels like a dream movie. But I admit it's hard to Jim Carrey playing Howard. His acting is always funny even when he's serious. But I hope they make it!
Laughs in Truman!
Nolan really must do this movie.
Maybe after he's finished with _Tenet_ and it does very well critically and financially (which I am certain it will), he should consider throwing the script back to WB, I'm sure they'd be willing to fund it just to keep him working with them.
@@DemonBoy3223 i believe Tenet is now referred to as a "dumpster fire". Covid obviously played a large role but it is also not a very good film. Casting Denzel's son in the lead off of a show named "Ballers" was also probably not a great idea as he lacks everything his father had to make him great. Too much to go into that film
@@DemonBoy3223 Given his relationship with WB looks to be deteriorating, I think Nolan will probably take it to another studio.
I hope he still makes this, even if he doesn’t want to do another biopic immediately after Oppenheimer. It’d be the perfect comeback vehicle for Carrey, if he were still up for it, and it could still work if it were focused more on late-in-life Hughes.
I hope, pray Jim could get back like this. He deserves and deserved MORE than all he got
yea after Leo's movie I think people will only accept it if its based in the 2nd half of his life.
as much as i love Leo and Martys work, i think Jim would have made a better Hughes, lets be honest. he even looks more like him
Your documentaries are professional, brilliant and very entertaining.
Definitely hope later in his career, Nolan can return to this project bc it’s just so exciting.
With the advanced de-aging technology we have nowadays, this movie could still be made with the same script, director, and lead actor.
Hell, you could put Hughes in the lead now.haha
However, Nolan's a traditionalist and would probably be against the tech.
You paint such a vivid picture of this film, I feel like I have just seen it. And it's grand! Amazing work.
I have just found your channel today and after watching all of your videos I have to say you are seriously one of the most well-researched and professional creators I have seen on this channel. I adore your work and cannot wait to see what you post next! (If you ever did Kubrick's Napolean or David Lean's Nostromo I would be in heaven)
I wish jim carrey played this character.it would really be awesone
27:48 woaahhhh!!!
Howard hughes is crazy
Why don’t you have a million plus subscribers man? These are great!
Given it's been a while after The Aviator is released, and the still fresh popularity of Oppenheimer, I don't think it'll hurt to give this script another try again
Very interesting to see two great and genius directors like Scorsese and Nolan adapt the same material
Damn. Hughs paid $24,000,000 for RKO in the 30’s? That’s about $370,000,000 today. Then went and blew MILLIONS on making movies and airplanes...
he was known in hollywood as the FOOL with the money...Iam not kiding that is what they call him..RG studio executive
Fascinating I'm going to buy the book for sure😊
A Christopher Nolan movie with Jim Carrey? That would be crazy.
14:41 woah unexpeted 9/11
No-one expects September the eleventh!
I was thinking, I feel like I've seen this interview before, but why would I have watched it. Then there it was.
Mike Stocklasa: "And now back to 9/11"
This is why I’m glad Nolan gets to make Oppenheimer.
Please this needs to happen..who’s more fascinating than Hughes? What Nolan can do with all this...🤯wow
5:08 it’s interesting how much of Hughes is in THE ROCKETEER, both the main character and the fact that he is literally in the movie itself. It’s kind of appropriate that Hughes saves the character that was based on him (hell, Billy Campbell even looks a bit like a young Howard Hughes)
Yeah, I've said that fir years - Billy Campbell does look alot like Howard Hughes. I'd cast him if I were making a movie about Hughes. Im fact of Hughes appears in the planned Rocketeer reboot, they've absolutely got to bring in Billy Campbell to play the role.
Though I always assumed it was merely coincidence that he looks like Howard Hughes and was cast in The Rocketeer. If I get a chance I'll have to ask director Joe Johnston if that factored in at all. Seems doubtful to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
whoa i didn't know about this! being i'm a big nolan fan and i loved jim carrey so much when i was a kid this is a big surprise for me
Is it just me or Howard Stark was inspired by Howard Hughes?
Israel Aguasanta it's true. Stan Lee wrote Iron Man because of Howard Hughes. That's also why Tony's dad's name is Howard Stark.
It's not just you. It's been well documented and discussed.
I didn't know it. I'll read more about it
Start was inspired by hughes. In the mcu however, Howard stark was inspired in part by Walt Disney
@@thelittlepasty8360 yeah it's interesting since Howard Stark was most similar to Walt Disney in Iron Man 2, imo. But Iron Man 2 was made before Marvel Studios were purchased by Disney so that disney vibe his character embodied seemed pretty prophetic once the deal went through a year or so later.
TARS sent me here
, excellent video btw
Is this the movie i would love to see it please bring it to life mr nolan
A pic about Hughes' more outlandish later years, the link with Watergate and directed Nolan and starring Carrey? I mean, it could be a career high point for the two, plus 20 years gestation its time is well past due.
This movie needs to happen!
In Nolan we trust!!
I guess you haven't yet seen the character-less plot-less Dunkirk.
@@sweetnumb i guess you have not seen masterpiece written The Prestige, Inception and Memento 😂
Great video! Fantastic job. I had no idea about this project.
I fully understand why Christopher didn't want to continue with that movie. The Aviator was a masterpiece and I really don't see how he can top that. Still, I personally would love to see his take on it.
Thank you for the hard work
Badass af, after winning award he just takes a sip of coffee
Loved this. Although, the Aviator was a masterpiece .
The interview with the Hughes author was cut off abruptly at 12:00 into this video because the interviewer was just about to show the first news from the World Trade Center attacks.
Maybe Nolan will revive this film as his next project (also since Jim Carrey has been making something of a comeback recently), but probably with a new studio since his relationship with WB isn't going so well following the studio's HBO Max plan (given Nolan's a traditionalist, I think Sony will be his likely new home).
No, it's Universal.
Christopher Nolan is by far the greatest movie director of our generation
I want to see this movie.
The wave of the future.
I quite liked The Aviator, though I think because of it's massive budget they weren't really allowed to explore truly what a bastard Hughes often was with a proper R rating. A shame, because Scorsese is the friggin KING of nakedly honest, non-judgmental, R-rated character studies that subjectively explore the mindset of a bastard. Hughes aaabsolutely would have been in good company with Travis Bickle, Jake Lamotta, Henry Hill or Jordan Belfort. Sure as hell hope Nolan had aimed for an R rating with his film. Also I'd have hoped it was honest enough to explore his bisexuality, something countless folks who knew him at the time have later confirmed. Actually the only problem I see Nolan having in exploring the vast majority of his life is even if the film was 4 hours long you'd still be forced to skim hugely important periods of his life.
What has Howard did in real life that if a biopic is made it will be rated r?
@@bookebladeHis overabundant sex life, fanatical, crippling racism (it's what led to his first bout with nakedly holding up in a solitary location, giving up personal grooming & having food & supplies brought in), drug abuse & extreme personal neglect in the last years of his life would all have to be hinted at but never truthfully explored in a PG-13 production. Where as the R rating provides you the chance to face it head on, warts n all, in as ugly a light as the truth of the experience demands.
I could have definitely seen Jim Carey in the Howard Hughes role. Seeing that old footage, he bares a similar resemblance to Carey, perhaps a bit more than DiCaprio.
Jim would have been superb as Hughes. I would have loved to see him in that role.
Very well made video except for sound. Interesting to the very end. The movie can be done, It should be done. Jim Carrey is in very good shape & so is de-aging technology. The Aviator is mostly forgotten now.
Jim Carrey would’ve made an amazing Howard Hughes.
Though, Mr. Burns was a better Howard Hughes than Howard Hughes was!
I love this narrator as well...
should be a series on Netflix or Amazon
Sad - The Aviator was (unpopular opinion) not a good interpretation of Hughes. His life deserves a modern miniseries.
Imagine in an alternate timeline this was made instead of The Aviator.
I do miss Jim Carrey, especially his dramatic work. Eternal Sunshine, Man On The Moon, I Love You Philip Morris. Even his brief appearance in The Dead Pool.
I's surprised you do a channel about failed movies but haven't talked about the dune adaptation that was supposed to star mick jagger and salvidor dali
Hopefully would be great to get around to!
There's a documentary about it called jodorowsky's dune from back in 2013
Wow, this was such an awesome documentary!
I adore Nolan's films, and of course respect his personal motives for the decisions he made, but this got me really, really furious; because I had always thought that his Howard Hughes biopic was never made due to external reasons (either money, time, or just a lack of interest from his part, similar to Kubrick's 'Napoleon', or - ironically - Scorsese's 'Sinatra', which you also masterfully explored).
But when I watched your video, and found out that his real reason for backing off from a passion project he conceived and worked on for years, was only because Scorsese made a similar movie first, I just wanted to slap him in the face and ask: "Are you F*ING serious??"
This is the guy that pretty much re-created Batman less than a decade after its last film adaptation, and both films ('Batman & Robin' and 'Batman Begins') couldn't be more different, despite both sharing the same characters. Did Nolan really let some hurt pride bury his dream project??
Because for Kubrick, for example, the reasons why 'Napoleon' was finally shelved included money problems, location problems, and the poor box office reception of Bondarchuk's 'Waterloo', that led him to believe that, maybe, audiences weren't as interested in historical epics as they once had been. But I'm willing to bet that, were it not for those things regarding money, location and public interest, Kubrick wouldn't have given a damn about Bondarchuk or whoever making a Napoleon film first, since he had enough passion and confidence in his own vision.
So, I guess what really angers me is just how sad the whole thing makes me feel, because Nolan's movie would have been an original, fascinating take on Hughes, regardless of the fact that Scorsese managed to do it first (which, I mean, back in '77 there had been an even earlier biopic of Hughes, and Scorsese didn't stop for that). I wish Nolan had had a less fragile ego, or a stronger resolution, because I think he failed in giving the world, and the history of cinema itself, probably one of the best movies (n)ever made.
I agree with you 100%. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment!
That author’s book sales figure was the first official death resulting from 9/11. Poor guy didn’t get a chance
omg i really hope he picks this one back up and dusts it off. They can prob still do it, they're both masters of what they do
Howard Hughes' story(towards the end of his life) reminds of Elvis and his "handlers."
I still wanna see it. Maybe the next film Nolan does is going to be “HUGHES”
And we can thank Hughes for the crippling 80 year ticker-tape shortage that shackles us so today!!
Great video regarding a film that we’ve not gotten to see from Christopher Nolan. Though, I find it odd that you called Following a short film, when it’s a feature length film. A feature length film is 40 minutes or more, while a short film is less than 40 minutes. This is stated by various film festivals around the world, though some festivals consider short films to be less than 50, and this is also the case with the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences. Following is 69-70 minutes long, so it’s not a short film. It’s Nolan’s feature film debut.
Yeah that's a great point, I saw Following back when it first did the festival circuit upon it's completion, so I'm not sure what I was thinking calling it a short. Thank you for watching & commenting though!
@@SupervoidCinema you’re very welcome! Keep up the great work!
@@SupervoidCinema Yep, it played in theatres as the main feature.
They had two movies about Capote, a year apart. It would be very different than Martys
Nobody:
Nolan: I wrote a script about Howard Hughes
How is this even a jokkkkee
Jim carrey and Christopher Nolan that be a match made in heaven
Fantastic video,well done
Jimmy Carry really looks like him
Perhaps Howard Hughes was the very first CEO who advocated working remotely as he was successfully running his business far away from his office for more than two decades long until his death.
This sounds like an interesting movie and there are not too many of them in Hollywood anymore. Howard Hughes definitely was a twisted individual and would make a fine movie subject hopefully someday this gets made
they would of crush it
This movie concept idea is also inspired my project idea which called dirty dogs . Hi y’all want help me with Dirty Dogs” is about school life, college, adult life, the NFL, and so much more! It combines the humor of shows like “Beavis and Butthead,” “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burger’s,” “Family Guy,” “The Cleveland Show,” and “The Office.” The goal of this channel and the entirety of the “Dirty Dogs” universe is to inspire joy, tell riveting and hilarious stories, and ultimately have fun!
Please match your audio levels in the clips you are using. Thanks.
Please make a season of Stanley Kubrick's Greatest Movies never made, like Napoleon, Aryan Papers, AI
AI did get made!
@@haileyshannon7548 and it’s a masterpiece
Another Nolan maybe project like Hughes,I always thought he'd do The Transhumanist Wager by Zoltan Istvan.
Haven't read it personally, but is very Nolanesqe objectivist cinematic novel about a billionaire who wants to build a seaborne fortress to create a separate Utopia for the top .01% and upload his mind to be a computer AI and control the future. SF technothriler war ensues?
Hughes created great achievements in medical equipment due to his accident and left a lot of money into a foundation to keep it so.
do you guys honestly think Jim would make a better Hughes than Leo cause Leo's performance in that movie was Oscar worthy but okay
Jim Carrey is a fantastic actor when you put him in serious roles, so I would say yes.
@@UltimateKyuubiFox not a better actor than Leonardo DiCaprio
leo version is what H.H would have like the most except the reclusive hide in hotels parts, Jim would have explore the Madness and the man.. who the world would have found out he was a drug user with lots of money, long before MJ ....I read every book on the man and he was a trip! but scrap the Moives, Break records, gov. contracts, you got a wild drug user with lots and lots of money.... with illusion to control the world... watergate.... RG studio executive
I would like to hear you sometime discuss the Tim Burton Jim Carrey bio pic about Ripley's Believe it or not
Wait a sec there. Was that interview with Matt Lauer the last thing recorded on the Today show before everything changed with 9/11? It was nice to see what it was like before everything turned into terrorism bizzare-o world
I'm surprised Jim Carrey hasn't played a crazed person I didn't like.Could he had pulled it off we never know will we?
hope this happens before i die
This is really well done. I’m a Howard Hughes nut. And this really was great.
Does anybody know where there is audio or video of Howard Hughes 3 hr interview he did from the Bahamas? His last interview.
Ryan Vennekolt Are you talking about when all the news guys & Robert Maheu were in the room to hear Hughes’s voice because there were reports he was dead? I think that was done in the early70’s. Maheu corroborated that it was HOWARD Hughes on the phone live. I gave the video of that event.
Michael Arbassio yes! That interview. I can’t find any audio or video of it.
Michael Arbassio you gave the video?
I like both Marty and Leo but I cannot say I was a fan of the Aviator. It wasn't one of their best work. Would have loved to have seen Howard Hughes by Nolan
Do you think Scorsese was passionate about making The Aviator or do you think he was paid to make it and help Miramax stay on top?
I think it was DiCaprio who was in the biggest rush to get it done.
@@SupervoidCinema hmmm.... I kinda feel it would've been a lot more memorable if Nolan had made his movie. The Aviator, while not a bad movie, isn't really remembered anymore
Carreys old,would be a perfect time now
Nolan thing is "Time"
...untill "Tenet", which actively punishes the audience for paying attention...
Scorsese's take was fine
Sounds great
Did you know that the third Beatles movie was supposed to be "The Lord of the Rings", and the director was supposed to be Stanley Kubrick??
woah that is trippy if that's true, glad it didn't though, I bet the early 2000s LoTR may not have been made then or it would be different
@@mxyogerts2121 It is true, look it up!!
@@mxyogerts2121 There was Ralph Baskhi's 1978 film, I don't think it could have been made with the Beatles because of time, special effects, etc.
Great information about the history, but the sound levels run through this video are fluctuating.
Interesting...
Oh-oh the ending was cut off. I don't know if that was intended.
Hey, thanks for letting me know, that's so bizarre, that's the 2nd time tonight that's happened (Happened with the He-Man one too) not sure why, I've reverted it back to the original edit for now.
@@SupervoidCinema You're welcome. Just found you're channel too. I've been enjoying your content, keep up the good work.
It is not going to be regular biopic like social network or aviator or wolf of Wall Street rather it is going to be the genre that breaks the biopic rules and become something that Nolan only could achieve and by the information the movie is focused on themes of isolation paranoia and disease like ocd, just imagine memento with single mental condition how he pulled of now the kind of diseases and paranoia going with Hughes in his later days how Nolan could do that and mostly important the Howard Hughes who is mad billionre the America ever produced
Jim Carrey may've had been perfect casting for Howard Hughes. ...And I guess still could be.
There is a movie on howard hughes with leo dicaprio
That’s a reason why this film never happened.
Does Nolan revive this and get Jim Carrey his career Oscar ?
