Easy’s Waltz | Nic Pizzolatto

[Cremildo]

True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto has found his first feature film directing gig in the indie drama Easy’s Waltz. Vince Vaughn, Michelle Monaghan, Al Pacino and Simon Rex are set to star, with Pizzolatto also penning the script. Margot Hand is producing.

Described as Swingers meets A Star Is Born, the film follows a down-on-his-luck comedian-crooner navigating modern Las Vegas with old-school Vegas personalities. source

Pizzolato is seemingly fighting his financiers over the final cut.

Apparently, the editing process has been a “sh*t show,” with Pizzolatto having vehement disagreements with his producers, who are trying to force him to edit a more "audience friendly" cut of the film.

I was told to look at Pizzolatto's social media, specifically his reply to someone asking for an update on “Easy’s Waltz”: "Ahhh, temper your expectations there, my friend. The contest of 'vastly different edits' goes to the financiers," Pizzolatto blatantly replied.
