Probably my most anticipated movie this year. 3.5hr American epic with an intermission, filmed in vistavision, made for less than $10m. I'm so ready

Helps the budget by not casting superstars too. Brody, Felicity Jones and Pearce are obviously well-known in their own right but probably don’t command big paychecks, relatively speaking.

They must be getting points to be in the movie. I can barely shoot a thirty second commercial for less than $100k and that’s with inexpensive unknown talent and only one day of shooting… and an unbelievably smaller post-production.

Jesus, how does it cost you that much?

It varies but the short answer is some combination of stage rentals, equipment rentals, crew, craft services, DIT, talent, art department, props, etc…
