Brady Corbet Says ‘The Brutalist’ Made Him “Zero Dollars” & Fellow Oscar-Nominated Directors “Can’t Pay Their Rent”
Despite being among the favorites this awards season, Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist' did not net the indie filmmaker a single dollar.
The Vox Lux helmer appeared on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast yesterday to discuss the 10-time Oscar-nominated sweeping American immigrant epic, having just come off a string of advertising gigs in Portugal that proved to be “the first time that I had made any money in years.” Corbet, who directed The Brutalist off of a script penned by himself and partner Mona Fastvold, his wife and collaborator, said the two “made zero dollars on the last two films that we made.” When Maron was surprised at the statement, he reiterated: “Yes. Earlier today, former collaborator Natalie Portman, who starred in Corbet’s Vox Lux in 2018, wrote a Deadline guest column in praise of the director, saying: “Brady’s big-swing, small-scale epics — The Brutalist chief among them — are transforming the way movies are made in our maximalist era of algorithmic content creation and franchise fatigue.”
