[Ad-Free] Was Dennis Hopper Even Acting in APOCALYPSE NOW? | Ep22 | Making Apocalypse Now (Patreon)

Francis Ford Coppola’s method of modifying the characters to fit the actors themselves becomes even more interesting when you consider that the role of the crazy photojournalist is perhaps one of the closest to its real-world counterpart.

In this video, we’ll talk about how Hopper’s own major artistic risk lead to career slump that Apocalypse Now would help fix, how Hopper would bring even more insanity to the production, the inspirations for the photojournalist character, and the story behind the Colby character that was cut from the movie–including the crazy death scene of Colby and the photojournalist that didn’t make it into the final film.

Thanks so much for your continued support.
