Martin Scorsese appeared on the annual Director Roundtable where he discussed the difficulty he faced in acquiring the financial backing for his film . The director worked for nine years to fund the project, until he landed a deal with Netflix.
"Financially, the film would have complete backing," Scorsese told the roundtable. Netflix was "willing to take the risks with the computer-generated imagery," the anti-aging techniques used in the film, "and certainly the main thing for me was creative freedom." "The tradeoff is that it's a streamer," Scorsese continued. He insisted it had a run in theaters, adding, "I've been at this like 47 years or something. I've had a few films play one or two weeks in a theater and taken out. Including, especially, Scorsese recounted that "New Year's Eve, I was putting my tie on and I look over at this TV and it said, 'Now the flop of the year,' and a curtain opened. It was. Everything had turned. They finished us off.
