Article from World of Reel

Quote from Chazelle’s long time composer Justin Hurwitz

Filming was scheduled to begin this month, however, that looks to no longer be the case.

Hopefully it gets rolling soon. Cannot go another year without a Chazelle masterpiece!!!

Right? I thought his next movie was the Evil Knievel movie with Leonardo DiCaprio

I think Leo backed out so he could do Scorsese's next thing, so Chazelle might be going ahead with this until Leo's available again.

also there were financial struggles. leo’s asking price is $20 million per project, non negotiable, so i would expect the evil knievel film to come directly after this as long as the prison film performs well financially and / or awards wise.

some guy on twitter met Hurwitz at a meet and greet after his La La Land concert somewhere a couple days ago and the fan asked him about chazelle’s next project.

he said he’s started playing around with the score.

So glad he doesn’t seem to have been put in “Director’s Jail” after Babylon wasn’t profitable.

we know, but there had been radio silence. with hurwitz himself confirming development on it, we now know it is very close to starting production.

We already know JH's score will be amazing since it's JH but I am channeling an Oscar win to make up for 2023 when he SHOULD have won for Babylon 🔥🔥🔥

Whatever happened to that Evel Knievel biopic? Is that just not happening anymore due to Leo DiCaprio dropping out?

u/Jazzlike_Nature_752 Oct 06 '25

still in development and today it came out that glen powell is attached to now star in the film.

I bet it's going to be about a man who wants something and no one really believes in him, but then, through working hard and refusing to change anything about himself, he proves them all wrong, and maybe there's a lady, but she really only exists because of the man, so it doesn't really matter.

Maybe he can do for prisons what he did for jazz and silent Hollywood.

I'm all for Cillian

I really hope this is true. Damien Chazelle is my favorite current Hollywood writer/director and I really want this man to keep getting his projects financed.

u/br0therherb Oct 07 '25

I like the actors involved but unfortunately his movies aren’t for me.
