The Brutalist Director Says the Film Has Made Him 'Zero Income' — and Other Oscar Nominees 'Can't Pay Their Rent'

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brady Corbet has 'made zero dollars' on his last two films, he told Marc Maron on the 'WTF' podcast Monday: 'I've spoken to many filmmakers that have the films that are nominated this year that can't pay their rent,' he said.

Speaking with Marc Maron on his podcast WTF in a candid episode published Monday, Feb. 17, the Oscar nominee — currently in contention for writing, directing and Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards — said the amount of money The Brutalist has made him is a simple number: “zero.” The Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody as a Hungarian immigrant fleeing the aftermath of the Holocaust to find work as an architect in the U.S., has earned critical praise and prestigious accolades alike.
