Richard Stanley on The Island of Dr Moreau Production Nightmare

[@therobotocracy]

I love the quote in the doco where Frankenheimer said “If I was directing a movie called the Island of Val Kilmer I wouldn’t have that prick in it.” Haha

@@therobotocracy That's brilliant 🤣🤣

[@therobotocracy]

Legend! I want to read that original script!

[@creativespacepodcast]

@@therobotocracy Imagine what could have been? 😳

[@ULTRAWIDE.]

It’s a shame no one ever asks Stanley about the footage he actually shot before getting fired. There’s two photos of him filming something with a monkey and a woman in some sort of examination room. I’d really love to know what that was about

@@ULTRAWIDE. Why didn't I know this earlier? Man! What would this film be under Stanley 😳

[@cinemaarts8795]

I'd love to see that footage too, although apparently no involved (including Stanley) was pleased with what had been shot. Still would like to see the difference between the two versions.

what actor did Stanley have in mind for dr. moreau before it was given to brando?

[@creativespacepodcast]

@@AlvaroBernal-p8w From what I can remember, Stanley actually wanted Brando to play Dr Moraeu. He also wanted Bruce Willis and James Woods in the film but they couldn't do it.

His first choice was Jürgen Prochnow.

[@chrislondo2683]

Stanley should play Moreau.

The dog mask he wore on set ; does he have it ?

[@creativespacepodcast]

Be amazing if he kept it 🤣

I'd read that book about the movie, maybe then they could make a movie about the book about the movie.

Imagine that! That would be an awesome movie or TV series to watch! 😁👍
