Overview
The story of the insane scandals related to the remake of “Island of Dr. Moreau” —originally a novel by H. G. Wells—, which was brought to the big screen in 1996. How director Richard Stanley spent four years developing the project just to find an abrupt end to his work while leading actor Marlon Brando pulled the strings in the shadows. Now for the first time, the living key players recount what really happened and why it all went so spectacularly wrong.

Viewing Notes
Missed this at FF2014 and when it screened at Music Box. Glad it’s on Instawatch.
Yep, as crazy as I’ve heard. Oddly starts rather simple with the history of Richard Stanley and his plans for the Moreau flick. Totally goes nutso when Stanley gets fired. The stories of Brando and Kilmer and that short fellow… wow. None surprising given the movie but still insane to hear.
Of course now I want to watch the Moreau movie again.
