WELCOME Game of Thrones broke records this year as the most decorated scripted series in Emmy history, having now won a total of 38 awards. It’s not hard to see why, as anyone who has immersed themselves in George R.R. Martin’s intoxicating and addictive fantasy saga will attest. Now in its sixth season, the HBO juggernaut represents the current pinnacle of TV drama, which has undergone a paradigm shift over the last decade. Once a competitor, television is now as prestigious as cinema, boasting feature film production values and a line-up of Hollywood actors competing to work in the medium. Moreover, the advantage of long-form storytelling gives multi-volume epics like Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire room to breathe, evolve, and enrich both its mythology and the viewing experience. It’s a triumph of world-building that eclipses even Tolkien’s Middle-earth, and this month STACK has made it easy for newcomers to the series (are there any?) to find an entry point with our Beginner’s Guide. We also spoke to one the show’s most beloved characters – the monoverbal Hodor, aka Irish DJ Kristian Nairn. But perhaps the best thing about Game of Thrones being on the cover in November is that the 12-month window between broadcast and DVD/BD release has been reduced for the first time, and the most recent season hits JB shelves prior to Christmas. Summer is coming... Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief

SPELLBOUND The last time we saw Eddie Redmayne, he was wearing lipstick and a frock for his transgender role in The Danish Girl . But today he wields one of cinema’s most powerful weapons – a wizarding wand from the brilliant mind of J. K. Rowling. Words Gill Pringle

I f it was the children who took on evil in the Harry Potter franchise, then Fantastic Beasts andWhere to FindThem sees four adults wrangle the baddies, be they fellow wizards or beasts. Led by Redmayne’s Newt Scamander – an author and ‘magizoologist’ whose textbooks featured on the Hogwarts' curriculum – Team Newt features Dan Folger’s Jacob Kowalski and sisters

creating four characters who could all bring something different to the table in slightly different ways.” Katherine Waterston, who can loosely be described as a love- interest for the easily-distracted Newt, admits the process was traumatic. “It actually brings hot sweats back, just remembering our chemistry test. I feel this sort of PASD – Post Audition Stress Disorder! It’s so nerve-racking, because you know the thing you’re supposed to deliver, and you don’t know if you will in that moment, and also you can’t manufacture or fake it any way, so it’s kind of not up to you, but we did find ourselves running around with wands in that moment. “I don’t think I would have gotten the job if Eddie hadn’t also been a neurotic fiend, because it was a relief to not be the only nervous person in the room,” adds the actress. Of course, the film lives up to its title, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them . The original script featuring 80+ such creatures, later whittled down to about a dozen, three of which are accidentally unleashed in NewYork.

A spin-off from the Harry Potter series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is filled with magical creatures. Here are but a few:

script was fully finished, so I literally sat by the fire as he told me the story of Fantastic Beasts , and it was the most wonderful way to hear it. Every few months I would go back for another meeting, and he would entice me with a bit more of the story.” Matt Smith and Nicholas Hoult were rumored early on to play Newt, although when STACK is joined by Yates, he says, “Eddie landed very early on, because we love him, and he’s got such soul. “And then we sort of built the world around Eddie. We said, ‘Alright, we’ve got Eddie, now let’s bring in all these other actors to work with Eddie’. We were in NewYork, and flew all these other actors in just to read with him. It was like putting a rock band together, basically, you wanted to get all the tonalities of each actor and character balanced together, so it was like

Tina and Queenie Goldstein, played by Katherine Waterston and Alison Sudol. Set in 1920s NewYork, Fantastic Beasts serves as Rowling’s screenwriting debut with directing duties handled by longtime Potter director, David Yates. But unlike Potter, Fantastic Beasts is not based on a novel, and thus its storyline was shrouded in secrecy. “We weren’t allowed to print out scripts, and when we did print out pages, they had to be put in a safe at night. I accidentally walked off set one day with my pages and it was almost like a police escort, returning to set,” says Redmayne, who first met with Yates in London a year prior to shooting. “It was around Christmas on a cold, wintry day, and we were in a club in Soho, sitting by a fire, and I didn’t know anything about what this project was, and he just gently started teasing out the story.

FANTASTIC BOX SETS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

B efore HBO became synonymous with a land called Westeros – heck, even before the network made Jimmy Choo shoes a must-have fashion item thanks to Sex and the City, and we got an insight into mob life in The Sopranos – the TV giant gave audiences The Larry Sanders Show , which ran from 1992 to 1998. The brainchild of late, great comedian Garry Shandling and screenwriter Dennis Klein, the series featured a fictional late night host (played by Shandling) in a perpetual struggle with his minders, his guests, and his very own highly-strung ego. This groundbreaking satire paved the way for shows like 30 Rock , Curb Your Enthusiasm , Veep , The Office and Entourage . This is the first time the entire series has been made available on DVD, and it's a must-have for fans of belly laugh- inducing, whip-smart parody. LANDMARK COMEDY OUT AT LAST

A thriller about accounting? Oddly enough, it all adds up in The Accountant , starring Ben Affleck as an autistic bean counter who cooks the books for criminals. Words Gill Pringle B en Affleck was born to play Christian Wolff, an emotionally remote but laser- focused number cruncher who also happens to be a killing machine, thanks to early training in martial arts and weaponry. He also happens to carry a bigger gun than Jason Bourne. After The Accountant topped the US box office it was hailed as Jason Bourne SUM FEARS OF ALL THE

“It’s a smarter script than what you’d think. If you think of something in the genre of The Bourne Identity or other movies like that, you expect them to just be a shoot ‘em up, but then they’re very smart, innovative and creative,” says Affleck when STACK meets with him and The Accountant director Gavin O’Connor in Los Angeles.“ This was the same – you look at it on the page, guy with a gun, shoot people, but then there’s some really interesting thematics running through it with fathers and parents and children and the way we try to protect them. Then with the autism, it’s really interesting because it has this kind of puzzle element and all this other stuff that you don’t expect, which transcend the ordinary genre aspects.”

He’s not the type of guy that doesn’t want to connect with other people, he wants very much to be able to connect with other people but he’s got hurdles and things which make it hard for him to do that.” After Damon and Affleck won best original screenplay for their script about a math savant, Good Will Hunting , you’ve got to wonder if Affleck has a thing about numbers. “To my surprise, the best part of my performance is the illusion that I’m good at math. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Gavin would just yell out numbers and I’d write them down. “I‘m not good at math, not great at math. I already can’t do my daughter's homework and she’s in fourth grade. I wouldn’t call on Matt Damon by the way,” he smiles. “I’m gonna release my tax return when the time is right. There’s nothing to see. I’m not being audited.“

I said to him, ‘ Rain Man had Tom Cruise and we don’t have Tom Cruise so we’re going to have to figure this out to make it where there’s an accessibility’.“ Visiting autism schools and meeting with people on the spectrum, they soon discovered a pattern of common traits to utilise for Affleck’s character. “What I consider most

A BRAVE HEART One of Australia’s premier actor-directors, Mel Gibson makes his glorious return behind the camera with Hacksaw Ridge , and star Teresa Palmer has nothing but praise for the director and her leading man, Andrew Garfield. Words Gill Pringle

C asting Andrew Garfield in the lead role of WWII hero Desmond T. Doss, Mel Gibson continues to explore his fascination with warfare following his roles in The Patriot , Gallipoli , We Were Soldiers , The Year of Living Dangerously and his directorial debut with 1995 Oscar-winner Braveheart , in which he also portrayed 14th Century Scottish rebel William Wallace. After a decade of personal turmoil, unwelcome media attention and underwhelming ensemble performances in mediocre macho movies like The Expendables 3 and Machete Kills , Gibson returns to his focus behind the camera, directing Garfield as an army medic who served during the Battle of Okinawa, and who, in his refusal to kill people, became the first Conscientious Objector in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge leading lady Teresa Palmer left the set with nothing less than awe her director. “I loved him. We had a really good rapport. He is such a fantastic director. I mean, he’s been acting for so many years. He knows how to converse with actors in a way that helps you to understand the character. He knows how to meet your needs for the scene. He’s just a

really special guy and making this film was just a wonderful experience. “One of the things I noticed about him is that he is so generous with his time with people and he knew everyone’s name on the crew and he would sit down and give everyone the time of day and really ask them about their life and ask good questions. He cared about people and I loved that, and I could feel that and the crew just fell in love with him. I’m very proud of the movie.” Palmer reserves her biggest praise for Andrew Garfield: “He is breathtaking in this film. It’s my favourite performance I’ve witnessed of his. So beautiful. I hope everyone takes notice and he gets nominated.” The actress doesn’t hold back on her enthusiasm for Hacksaw Ridge , despite the fact she still hasn‘t seen a final cut when STACK meets with her in Los Angeles. “A lot of my team have seen it and given me the feedback that it’s amazing; Mel’s best film ever – and I’ve loved all his other movies. So hopefully it lives up to the hype.” Palmer has nothing but sympathy for Gibson’s unfortunate media maelstrom. “Everyone, I think, has moments in their life where they

Teresa Palmer and Andrew Garfield

are going through things, but it’s very rare that they’re on a public stage and that things play out in the media and publicly and if some of my family’s meltdowns were public it would be mortifying. I just went into this experience knowing that I would have my own dynamic with him and I’d come in without any sort of judgment or expectations and I was just really blown away by him in a really positive way.”

Why you should be excited about

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Words Scott Hocking

I t’s Star Wars, that’s the obvious reason. It’s also the very first in a series of spin-off movies set in the universe George Lucas created back in 1977, which makes it uncharted territory of sorts. This is the first Star Wars movie that won’t feature an episode number on the opening title crawl (if indeed it will have an opening crawl – it would be wrong not to), as it's part of a collective of ‘Star Wars stories’. It’s also the first Star Wars film without a score by the legendary John Williams, which sounds like heresy, but you can almost count on his signature theme – or a variation thereof – being heard at some point. Michael Giacchino, Pixar’s regular composer (who also scored the three new Star Trek films) has an impossible act to follow. The beloved characters we associate with the saga are also absent, with the exception of Darth Vader, voiced once again by the great James Earl Jones. How prominently he will figure in the film remains to be seen, but it's likely to be just a cameo appearance. Also returning is rebellion leader Mon Mothma, (Genevieve O’Reilly), who we saw in Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith . Although a standalone adventure, Rogue One is an important part of the Star Wars canon, perhaps even more so than The Force Awakens . This is a story we kind of know already but have never seen: the theft of the Death Star plans by the Rebels. A mere snippet from A New Hope ’s credit crawl has been expanded as a feature!

rebellious band comprised of rebel Saw Gerrara (Forest Whitaker), Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna in the Han Solo scoundrel role), blind warrior Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen), and Imperial defector Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed). And Jyn's father, Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelson) is the scientist who may have designed the Death Star.

Rogue One ’s return to the era prior to the events of A New Hope – and its incorporation of the classic designs of the period – technically makes it a more legitimate prequel to Episode IV than the Lucas trilogy, which is perhaps the most exciting thing of all. But if you need a further reason to get excited, check out what director Gareth Edwards did with Godzilla in his 2014 reimagination. Hot off his low budget debut Monsters , the British filmmaker took an iconic piece of cinema history and delivered a dark and visually inventive reimagination that was radically different to what everyone expected, while at the same time respecting the source material. If the trailers are any indication, he’s brought the same level of creativity to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story .

As far as the villains are concerned, this is the REAL Empire, not some First Order wannabes. The Stormtrooper uniforms are the original design as are the TIE fighters, AT-AT Walkers and Star Destroyers. Moreover, it will be great to see the “weapons test” that is the Death Star back in full destructive force. It’s traditional touches like these that will stir the Midi-chlorians in any old school Star Wars fan’s blood. Then there are those black Death Troopers (based on an original Stormtrooper design concept by Ralph McQuarrie) – specialised

Heroine Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) may well be the ‘Original Hope’. Her rap sheet includes the forging of Imperial documents, aggravated assault and resisting arrest – the ideal leader of a potential suicide squad sent deep into enemy territory. Indeed, there’s already a Dirty Dozen vibe to this Star Wars Story, with Jyn’s

Imperial soldiers under the command of Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), the director of Death Star security. Any new addition to the Imperial forces is worth looking forward to.

Scott senior is a harsh critic. “You just have to go out and do it and don’t pontificate. People say that it's harder to get a film made today than ever before. That’s bullsh-t. You’ve got so many video devices that you can go out this weekend with your friends and make a movie and stop whining about it.” Just like his father, Luke predicts a bleak future for mankind, as reflected in the themes of Morgan , showcasing brilliant newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular genetically- engineered creation. “I think bio-engineered humans are a very real future. They offer the greatest challenge to humanity, simply because it's like once the germ gets into the species, its Goodbye Humans Part 1 and Hello Humans Part 2. We’re all going to die!” Likewise, Ridley suggests, “I think we’re so far down the line in speculation. Far more, I think, than is published or discussed. It’s a little like when you get the very smartest computer you can possibly design,

into deepest space, exploring alien life, genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Therefore it’s no surprise that his son, Luke Scott, 47, makes his directorial debut with sci- fi drama Morgan, exploring a future world of bio-engineered humanity. Co-produced by his father, Morgan boasts an A-list cast most first-time directors would kill for, including Kate Mara and Paul Giamatti. The result is a polished, provocative, wholly absorbing venture into a chilling near future where it's hard to tell robot from human. “Ridley was definitely tough but also a very fair dad,” says Luke, who was raised on his father’s movie sets, serving as a second unit director on his father’s recent films Exodus: Gods and Kings and The Martian . “Dad instilled in all his kids that you’ve got to work hard.

When Luke refers to Mara as a “tough cookie”, she pivots, shooting him a steely look. “That’s diplomatic. Total badass is also acceptable. I’m not sweet or accommodating. I had to eliminate a lot of emotions you would naturally have as a human being. I can be really emotionless, can’t I Luke?"

CINEMA REVIEWS

THE NEON DEMON

RELEASED: Now Showing DIRECTOR: Nicolas Winding Refn CAST: Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves RATING: R18+ Danish provocateur Nicholas Winding Refn hit the mainstream in 2011 with the superb L.A. noir thriller Drive , before falling victim to his own artistic indulgence with the tedious Only God Forgives , leaving some to ponder whether he'd lost the plot. His latest film, The Neon Demon, doesn't really have one to lose – Refn is even more focused on affectation and artifice, bombarding the audience with hypnotic and surreal visuals at the expense of narrative. It also moves at a glacial pace, but at least it's a feast for the eyeballs. This is hipster horror: a fashion house giallo set in a sinister L.A. that's as much an ode to Dario Argento and David Lynch as Drive was to Michael Mann. Refn's touchstones are Suspiria and Mulholland Drive, with Elle Fanning as the doe-eyed ingenue who has "that thing" required to make it big in the cutthroat modelling business. That's if she can survive sleazy photographers, a scumbag hotel owner (Keanu Reeves), and her jealous peers who want to devour her glamour – literally, given eating disorders include cannibalism. This isn't Zoolander , although Refn does make some valid points about the vacuity of the industry and its obsession with cosmetic enhancement. The Neon Demon is as super-stylish and artificial as the world it depicts, but like its predatory models, needs more meat on its bones. Scott Hocking OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL RELEASED: Now Showing DIRECTOR: Mike Flanagan CAST: Elizabeth Reaser, Lulu Wilson, Annalise Basso RATING: M Maybe it’s all down to the success of The Conjuring or perhaps the latest wave of horror filmmakers just love Mad Men , but retro supernatural chillers are becoming a sub-genre in their own right. Hot on the heels of Conjuring spin- off Annabelle comes this prequel to the generally unloved Ouija , which, as the title suggests, is an origin story about the demonic mother and sisters who wreaked havoc in the first film. It’s 1967 and the recently widowed Alice Zander (Elisabeth Reaser) and her two daughters, cynical teenager Paulina (Annalise Basso) and her younger sister Doris (Lulu Wilson), are running séance scams to make ends meet. Paulina convinces her mother to spice up the act by using a Ouija board, and they are amazed to discover that Doris doesn’t actually need any tricks to use it: she seems able to communicate with the dead using the board. But are her conversations with her dead father and other souls she contacts real, or is a more malevolent spirit at work? Ouija: Origin of Evil is a big improvement on the first film – admittedly that’s not saying much – with director Michael Flanagan ( Occulus, Hush ) delivering some effective jump-shocks and young Wilson is a suitably scary possessed child. On the downside, it’s a lazily plotted affair and the ‘60s settings can’t disguise the fact that there's little in the way of genuine scares or frights. John Ferguson

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK

RELEASED: Now Showing DIRECTOR: Edward Zwick CAST: Tom Cruise, Cobie Smulders, Danika Yarosh RATING: M

W hen he's not hanging from the side of a 747 as Ethan Hunt, Tom Cruise moonlights as the hard- as-nails hero of Lee Child's best-selling thriller series. A former army major turned drifter, Jack Reacher was introduced on the big screen in 2012, but you don't need to have seen Christopher McQuarrie's take on the ninth Reacher novel, One Shot – Never Go Back is an adaptation of the eighteenth Reacher book, so continuity isn't a concern. Cruise's Reacher is an arrogant, nuggety human battering ram Reaching for the clichés.

murdered soldiers in Afghanistan. Reacher also discovers he has a 15-year- old daughter (Danika Yarosh), who will of course be threatened or abducted for leverage sooner rather than later. Cobie Smulders, basically playing her S.H.I.E.L.D agent from Avengers here, is as tough as Reacher and a good match for Cruise. Throw the teenager into the mix and it's an instant dysfunctional family. We've seen this kind of espionage/ chase thriller a million times before. The hired goons trailing Reacher are the generic beards-and-sunglasses

RATING KEY: Wow! Good Not bad Meh Woof!

with a gimlet eye and a permanent scowl (some might say the perfect fit for Cruise); he's not really likeable but he gets the job done. Drop him into any situation and he'll come out fighting, and that's exactly what happens when he has to bust an old army colleague (Cobie Smulders) out of military prison after she's been accused of treason. Reacher has also been framed for murder, and the pair go on the run to clear their names and expose a conspiracy involving a big military contractor and a pair of

stereotypes, and there's even a rooftop showdown during a New Orleans Halloween parade. There's also never a sense

that Reacher is in any real danger, given he's capable of overpowering any adversary and escaping from any lock-up, busting heads with impunity. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is enjoyable enough in the moment, but you'll have forgotten all about it by the time you reach the car park. Scott Hocking

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

ALSO SCREENING IN NOVEMBER

RELEASED: Now Showing DIRECTOR: Tate Taylor CAST: Emily Blunt, Haley Bennett, Justin Theroux RATING: MA15+

A faithful but flawed adaptation of the best-seller.

Chick noir – or ‘domestic noir’ as the novelists themselves prefer it to be known as – has taken the book world by storm, but so far the sub-genre has not fared quite as well on the big screen. David Fincher’s take on Gone Girl , arguably the book that paved the way for this new style of psychological thriller, was superb, perfectly capturing the sly wit and menace of Gillian Flynn’s masterful novel. However, the adaptation of S.J. Watson’s Before I Fall Asleep was a proficient but overly melodramatic chiller. The latest domestic noir best-seller to hit the big screen, Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train , sits somewhere between the two: while it’s not in the same class as Gone Girl , it’s an absorbing

and ingeniously plotted tale of marital discord and murder. Emily Blunt plays Rachel, the titular girl (well, woman really) on the train who becomes obsessed with a seemingly perfect couple – Scott (Luke Evans) and Megan (Haley Bennett) – who she sees each day from the window of her carriage. When the latter goes missing soon after being spotted with a mystery man, Rachel reports her suspicions to the police, but we soon learn that she is a far from reliable witness. As well as being an alcoholic who lost her job months ago, she has been harassing her ex-husband Tom (Justin Theroux) and his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson), who live in the same street as the missing woman. She may have even confronted the missing woman on the night she disappeared, and as Rachel suffers from drunken blackouts, she begins to wonder whether she has done something really terrible. Blunt is terrific as a woman who begins to doubt her own sanity and director Tate Taylor ( The Help ) does a good job in sustaining the tension across the multiple time frames over which the story unfolds. But he's less successful at deploying red herrings, and the finale is something of a letdown. John Ferguson

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

The Potterverse continues in this spin-off from J.K. Rowling's beloved series. According to the author, this is the first of five planned features that will link up with the Harry Potter films.

Will Hunting meets Jason Bourne, but it's Ben Affleck who plays the autistic math genius and CPA who "uncooks the books" for criminal organisations and moonlights as an assassin. It all adds up on Nov 3 . (See page 12.) THE ACCOUNTANT

RELEASED: Now Showing DIRECTOR: Ron Howard CAST: Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Ben Foster RATING: M

Upping the Dante.

Dan Brown’s pulp thrillers might make for a good read on a long haul flight, but as movies they’re something of an endurance test. The Da Vinci Code was like listening to the audiobook as read by Tom Hanks and Ian McKellen, and Angels & Demons was strangely inert for a film about an attempt to destroy the Vatican with antimatter. Skipping the third book featuring cryptologist Robert Langdon, The Lost Symbol , Ron Howard proceeds directly to Brown’s most recent best- seller, Inferno , and finally delivers the kind of propulsive thriller the material demands. It’s easily

the best film of the three, which is faint praise given the competition. Inferno finds Langdon (Hanks) awakening in a hospital bed with a nasty head wound, a case of temporary amnesia, and experiencing nightmarish visions of hell on Earth. Following an assassination attempt by a Terminator-like lady cop, Langdon flees with British doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) in tow, and must piece together the cryptic clues that link Dante’s famous depiction of Hell with a deadly pathogen designed by a mad billionaire to cull the world’s population by half. It’s the usual race across Europe, from one art gallery, museum and basilica to the next, with the exposition delivered on the run. Things get increasingly more preposterous and some of the plot twists are glaringly obvious, but the cracking pace, some welcome humour, and Hanks’s earnest performance as the thinking man’s Indiana Jones holds it all together... just. If anyone can save the world it’s Langdon, even if he has lost his memory; the guy can still recognise a Florentine spire from his hospital window, even if he can’t remember what coffee is.

Amy Adams plays a linguist who must decipher an alien language to avert global disaster in this sci-fi drama from Sicario director Denis Villeneuve. Arriving Nov 10 . ARRIVAL

The Movie That A Hollywood Film Company Destroyed

Heaven's Gate (1980) Directed by Michael Cimino Part 2 of 2

D irector Otto Preminger had best described the United Artists set-up when he stated, “Only UA has a system of true independent production. After they agree on the basic property and are consulted on the cast, they leave everything to the producer’s discrimination”.  UA had literally pioneered the notion that filmmakers should have freedom from external interference.

the huge success of his multi Academy Award- winning film  The Deer Hunter , Cimino’s name was now added to this list of innovative and creative filmmakers But unbeknownst to UA, they had signed a contract with an egotistical megalomaniac. Furthermore, his colossal extravagance and relentless pursuit of motion picture perfection would bring UA to the brink of bankruptcy and its ultimate demise. Casting the lead

Consequently, when the new UA executive struck a deal with Michael Cimino (pronounced Chi-mi-no) and his producer, Joann Carelli, to finance the director’s next movie, they naturally followed the previous regime’s proven and successful blueprint. The 1970s had seen the meteoric rise of the young  auteur  director: Peter Bogdanovich, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg had created a cinematic revolution in Hollywood by directing a plethora of money-making blockbusters. Following

roles is a process that always involves a delicate balance between the studio and the filmmaker. Kris Kristofferson and Christopher Walken were cast as the two lead male characters for Cimino’s now retitled movie, Heaven’s Gate . For the lead female role, UA wanted either Jane Fonda or Diane Keaton. When both actresses turned it down, Cimino suggested Isabelle Huppert. “Who?” asked the UA production heads. Huppert was a little known French actress who could only

EXTRAS

Hence they were basically left with two options: close down the production and swallow the then $12 million cost, or run with the movie the way Cimino wanted to make it and hope it turned out to be the cinematic masterpiece he kept professing it would be. They reluctantly chose the latter. By now the media had got hold of the extravagance, waste and mismanagement that was rampant on the Heaven’s Gate  set. Headlines of “Hell’s Gate in Montana” now regularly appeared on US TV news channels and in Hollywood’s trade papers. Finally, almost an entire year after he was originally scheduled to, Cimino presented the first screening of Heaven’s Gate  to the UA executive. The film’s running time was five hours and 25 minutes long. David Bach, UA’s Vice President in Charge of Production, memorably described it as “unendingly beautiful and totally unwatchable.” Cimino was forced to cut the film to a more manageable three hours and 34 minutes, and it was this version that premiered in New York on November 18, 1980. Virtually no one attended the aftershow party; a portent of the next day's reviews, which were devastating. The New York Times film critic, Vincent Canby, wrote, “ Heaven’s Gate  fails so completely, you might suspect Mr. Cimino sold his soul to the Devil to obtain the success of  The Deer Hunter , and the Devil has now come around to collect”. The LA premiere was immediately cancelled and the picture was cut by a further 70 minutes and re-released. Only a few curious movie diehards went to see it. When all the finances were finally calculated, Cimino’s movie had cost a staggering $44 million ($135 million in today's money) but only grossed $1.3 million in the 800 theatres it was shown in. UA was now a busted flush and all of its executive heads rolled. The parent company, Transamerica, swiftly acted and sold the name UA to MGM which became MGM/UA. United Artists as an independent film company was

speak broken English and had absolutely no marquee clout within the US. UA said, “No way”. A seemingly besotted Cimino then threatened the executive: “It’s either her or I take my film elsewhere”. He got his leading lady. Cimino’s post-Oscar arrogance and apparent contempt for UA’s inexperienced executive continued apace on location in Montana. A whole town had been constructed on the plains but after filming for four days, Cimino decided against the skyline. It was dismantled and then completely rebuilt just a few hundred feet further south. A log cabin was rigged up by the special effects team with that he did not like the position of the buildings resulted in multiple takes – up to 50 takes for various scenes was not uncommon throughout the shoot. Consequently, one week into production, Cimino was five days behind schedule and had spent $900,000 for a minute and a half of usable film. Two weeks in, he was 10 days and 15 pages behind. By then he had exposed and developed over two hours of film, less than three minutes of which he was willing to approve; all at a rough cost of $1 million 24,000 bullet hits, which had taken two days to complete. Cimino demanded the effects be fired off so he could see what it looked like before filming the scene. His obsession for achieving absolute perfection ...one week into production, Cimino was five days behind schedule and had spent $900,000 for a minute and a half of usable film

But the unmitigated failure of Heaven’s Gate  stuck to him for the rest of his career. He would direct a further four forgettable
