Dazed And Confused.The award-winning director, who went on to helm films including the Before trilogy (1995-2013) and Boyhood (2014), said while promoting his new Netflix movie ‘Apollo 10 ½’ that it ended up being a passion project despite being adored by generations of fans.The Daily Beast remarked to him that next year will be the 30th anniversary of Dazed And Confused, to which Linklater responded: “Yeah, and it’s like… where’s my money? How come a movie that cost less than $7million has $12million in interest against it?”“Wait – you didn’t make any money off Dazed and Confused?” interviewer Marlow Stern asked. “Fuck no!” Linklater answered.“How does that happen? We’re talking about one of the biggest cult hits ever,” Stern continued.“I don’t know.
Ask Universal!” said Linklater. “Hollywood accounting.
I remember really asking for a piece of the soundtrack, because I picked all the songs, and they were like, oh no… First film, you know?“Everybody has that story of getting screwed with their first project. That film was an indie success.
It made more than it cost theatrically, and over the years it’s been everywhere.When it was put to Linklater that “the home video money on that must have been massive…we’re talking tens of millions of dollars”, he said: “At least about 30 [million] or so! I don’t know.”But despite not making a dime from the movie, Linklater acknowledged how lucky he was to have been able to make the film happen.“That’s such a cliché to bitch about. But I did go through the Hollywood experience.
Here I complain but they did green-light the film, and they wouldn’t green-light the film today. Cast of unknowns? Period film when not much happens, riding around? One film out of Sundance?” he said.“I don’t

Could you talk about your relationship with Richard Linklater and how it’s evolved over these several films?Well, we’re friends and we’re good. And I think that sort of makes it all easy, in a way, but it also kind of blurs together because when we’re not making films together, we’re still hanging out and talking about films and every project that I work on that he’s not directly involved with or movies that he’s working on, that I’m not directly involved with, we still always talk about them to each other. It feels a bit like he’s an older brother.When did he first mention this project to you?He mentioned it a long time ago and if you know Rick, he gestates ideas for a very long time.
Nearly 30 years after his nostalgic high school throwback flick, “Dazed And Confused”, writer and director Richard Linklater says he still hasn’t earned any money from the movie.
Zack Sharf “Dazed and Confused” is one of the defining American independent films of the 1990s and one of the most beloved cult classics of all time, but it turns out the film’s enduring legacy has never resulted in money for writer-director Richard Linklater. The filmmaker was recently asked by The Daily Beast if he made money off “Dazed and Confused,” to which he responded, “Fuck no!”“It’s like… where’s my money?” Linklater asked. “How come a movie that cost less than $7 million has $12 million in interest against it?”When asked how “Dazed and Confused” can be a cult hit for nearly three decades and counting and not make money for him, Linklater responded, “I don’t know.
Wilson Chapman editorThe Houston of “Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood,” premiering April 1 on Netflix, is both a loving depiction of the city as it once was and a vision of a place that never quite existed. Translating live-action elements into its animated scenes, the film, written and directed by Richard Linklater, explores the 1969 moon landing from the perspective of an ordinary kid, Stanley, played by Milo Coy, racing through vignette after vignette of life in the city with painstaking specificity. But the overall look is one of palpable nostalgia — that the viewer is watching Linklater’s wistful recollections of his own childhood.“Memories can be deceiving,” says animation production designer Vincent Bisschop.
Brooke Mazurek It is an impossible game I keep asking Gloria and Emilio Estefan to play, the game of hypothetical “what-ifs.” Although the husband and wife duo are currently in Vero Beach, Fla., where they have a getaway home and resort, their focus is set squarely on Miami.For the better portion of five decades, the Magic City is the place the Estefans have called home, and during the “It’s a Wonderful Life” rabbit hole I’ve asked them to spiral into, we’re playing out who Gloria and Emilio — and the city of Miami — might have become had the most important couple in the history of Latin music not stayed rooted there.“What if you’d left and moved on?” I ask them.Gloria and Emilio are, after all, at a point in their lives when they’re able to tap into the gift of perspective. Time has passed, more than 100 million albums have sold, 38 hits have climbed the Billboard charts, Gloria has won eight Grammys and Emilio, 20, and two Presidential Medals of Freedom received.

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Do you remember what adventures you fantasized about having? While some of us may not recall the answers to these questions, Richard Linklater (“Boyhood“) has used his childhood fantasy to create his new film “Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood.” While the space race reached its peak with the launch of NASA’s Apollo Program (1968-1972), the wonder of those years carries on.
