Adam Driver as Toby from The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and Driver as Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann's Ferrari.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Megalopolis star Adam Driver is fast becoming the go-to actor for getting "unfilmable" movies made. Since his breakout on shows like Girls and supporting parts in the likes of Inside Llewyn Davis, Driver is now recognized as one of the best actors of his generation.
Those tracking Adam Driver's film career might see a pattern emerging with the actor's choices. In 2018, he fronted The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, a fantasy adventure from director Terry Gilliam. The movie was one that Gilliam had tried to make for decades and he even famously began filming a version starring Johnny Depp in 2000, before it was canceled due to numerous production problems.
Dream projects from legendary directors are often treated with suspicion by studios, since they can be expensive and lacking in commercial appeal. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Ferrari and Megalopolis all come from auteur filmmakers, who spent years pushing them up hills. For a time, all three movies looked doomed to spend eternity in development hell, and all three needed Adam Driver's help to finally go into production.
Around the early 2000s, actors like Coppola's nephew Nic Cage and Russell Crowe were linked to Megalopolis as Coppola began to seriously develop the film. Hours worth of second-unit footage was shot for this version, which was ultimately abandoned. Self-financing Megalopolis means Coppola has complete creative control over the film, with the director selling off some of his wine empire to raise the necessary funds.
Ferrari also received broadly positive critical notices, especially for Driver and Penélope Cruz's work. Sadly, it failed to click with viewers, with Ferrari grossing less than half its production budget at the box office. The film will no doubt be rediscovered and reassessed in the years ahead, but it did little to help Adam Driver's status as a movie star.
