[Ad-Free] Why Harvey Keitel was Fired from Apocalypse Now | Ep6 | Making Apocalypse Now (Patreon)

Hi everybody! Wow, time really does fly, but Making Apocalypse Now is back! I'll be going between vids on Apocalypse Now and vids on Full Metal Jacket for a bit. I swear I'm not a Vietnam War nut--it's just a coincidence. I had been planning the Apocalypse Now series for a while and you all voted for Full Metal Jacket and I had to do some deeper research because... well, you know... Kubrick. ;)

In Episode 6, we look at the difficult process of finding an actor to play Captain Willard--beginning with Steve McQueen, Martin Sheen, and finally landing on Harvey Keitel. We also explore the reasons why Francis Ford Coppola decided to replace Harvey Keitel only weeks into the production as well as how the story changed when Martin Sheen ultimately signed on to play the lead role.
