Podcast De Dag: tons of subsidies for a film that never made it to the big screen
The film Lucca Mortis, featuring Oscar winners Dustin Hoffman and Helen Hunt, has faced significant production issues three years after filming. Despite substantial funding from the Dutch Film Fund, the project has stalled due to unpaid actors and crew, halted post-production, and the departure of director Peter Greenaway. The Film Fund claims to be unaware of these problems and remains optimistic about the film's release. This situation raises questions about the viability of subsidized film productions.
