but he doesn’t mind Caligula s/
No he HATES that one. The biggest problem is apparently nobody told the “straight” actors about the porn. That was filmed separately, and they were given vague directions for the “reaction” shots.
Well, in nearly identical fashion, O'Toole as Tiberius tried to sabotage the movie, giving Tinto the actor's 'treatment' and then disappearing from overdubbing.
Sir John Gielgud rejected the Tiberius role and then later recanted his smaller role as Nerva. At least Nerva got out early via a fairly gruesome suicide.
Maria Schneider quit the film early, and that was after she had done Last Tango in Paris.
Guccione died a horrible cancer death in 2010. Tinto Brass is 88 but nearly died earlier this year.
CALIGULA.
Hard to believe that so many great actors got tricked into making a porno flick. The horrid “X” version of course.
I will stick with the I, CLAUDIUS BBC version.
Good point...and that one was way better...uh I mean worse
