Darkness. A beat, then the following appears on the screen:
“A Scorsese Documentary on Bill Clinton Is Stalled” —New York Times, January 22, 2015
Fade in on movie director Martin Scorsese — 72 years old, white hair, bushy eyebrows, horn-rimmed glasses — talking on the phone. As he speaks, the camera pulls back, showing him pacing in a nondescript conference room. Posters for Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Hugo, The Departed, Bringing Out the Dead, and Wolf of Wall Street hang on the walls.
“It’s ridiculous,” Scorsese says. “I can’t believe it. Are you serious? I spent two years with the guy. Two years. I went to Africa with him. I actually traveled to Africa for the first time since Kundun. Mali, I think. Or Zimbabwe. Maybe Rwanda. You should have seen the shots I had to take. No, not film shots, shot shots. Anyway we had a crane rigged so I could get a high angle of him opening a youth clinic or something. I flew a frigging crane to Africa for this guy. Spent hours on the plane with him talking: health care, the economy, Fleetwood Mac, his favorite movies, the last time he saw Hillary six months ago, you name it, he mentioned it. Kept referring to Russ Meyer. No we didn’t fly commercial. A friend of his gave us a ride — Epstein, I think. A weirdo. I’m talking Daniel-in-character levels of weird here. No, Leo wasn’t with us. Clinton wanted him to come along though.”

” Kept referring to Russ Meyer”
I know him. He was obsessed.
So what? If it’s like the 2008 documentary that was made about Hillary, you won’t be able to advertise it and it won’t get booked by theaters.
Idiot.
Martin, stay away from the Clintons. Bad things happen late at night......
Go home and watch your 1985 movie “ After Hours”
Ha! Great reference. Scorsese would be better to make another Cheech and Chong movie then do a movie about that Clown Clintoon.
At least 3 bombshells in this article. Share this everywhere.
this guy Bing has donated more than $16 million to Democrats over the last 20 years — whose donor is financing the frigging movie?”
The other unidentified friend, a woman, interrupts: “Where’d you learn that?”
“Learn what?”
“About the $16 million.”
“I read it on some anti-Clinton blog — the Free Bacon?
and
A producer credit for Chelsea, yeah. Maybe I’ll name the frigging granddaughter key grip. That will make grandma glow.”
I thought SOMEBODY would pick up on this : )
It would work as a radio bit. I can hear Mark Levin’s voice as Scorsese. Rapid fire. Rat-a-tat-tat. Good stuff.
“Here’s the thing, you know, the thing is, they are terrified about losing. Absolutely terrified. Her book went nowhere, she can’t fill a room unless she’s talking to Goldman Sachs, they are yesterday’s news and they are so obsessed with projecting an aura of inevitability they won’t allow any message to go out that they haven’t already pre-approved and, you know, groped. That’s why they killed the television shows, went after the authors, why they won’t let me make the movie I want to make.”
A pause. We hear him opening the door.
“And you know why they’re terrified? They know this is it. This is the final go-round. End of line.”
He listens for a moment, and then laughs.
“Yeah. Exactly. The Last Waltz.”
This was such a joy to read.
exactly
Leo DiCaprio?
heh heh heh...what a perv....
The money quote:

I know this is all about a film (well I suppose), but to write an article in the style of a film treatment or a screenplay is a bit annoying.
Implied past flights, Bill Clinton and Leo DiCaprio on Jeffery Epstein’s plane. Remember that Epstein had young boys there on the island too.
Leo DiCaprio has too many stories about him with women for it to be real. I do not believe he likes to have sex with women.
Clinton a prima donna. Accurate.
Perfect summation not only of those listed but the democrat party in general.
“I’ve worked with Keitel, De Niro, Pesci, Liza Minelli, with Jerry Lewis – Jerry Lewis – Sharon Stone, Brad Pitt, Willem Defoe and Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz and Nick Cage and DiCraprio and Matthew McConaughey — some of the surliest, most Method-obsessed, prickly bats***t crazy sons of bitches on the planet. And they have nothing on these people. Nothing. A producer credit for Chelsea, yeah. Maybe I’ll name the frigging granddaughter key grip. That will make grandma glow.”
