‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film
The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.
Adrien Brody in The Brutalist

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay
He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.
John Malkovich in Fantastic Four

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”

As someone who has been buying stogies for a very particular cigar smoker, I’ve spent enough time listening to his running commentary to recognize these are tried and true winners: Olivia, La Aurora, and Rocky Patel. Each cigar is made with premium long-filler tobacco – this is a big deal – and some are rated as high as 95. High ratings, low price? Seems like a win-win to me.

There are four different sampler sets, each with its own mix of flavors. The ever-so-lovely walking chimney in my life loves to break down all of the little details, subtle notes, and complexities – spicy this, creamy that – but I know they sure smell great and he’s always in a good mood after lighting one up. He has raved about La Aurora’s 107 Ecuador for its smooth, mellow vibe and swears the Corojo 1962 brings the perfect punch. Then there is the Connecticut 1987 – it’s like kicking back with a good book and a glass of wine – pure relaxation.

As for Oliva and Rocky Patel, I hear about them A LOT, in fact, feels like they’re part of the family. When he’s pulling out one of those, I know it is a special occasion, or perhaps just a Tuesday that needs upgrading.
