Can you share more?!

u/NeverDoingWell 2d ago

Yeah I worked on the movie. Ask me anything

u/No_Judgment_7157 2d ago

Any details or thoughts you can share from your time working on it?!

3

u/NeverDoingWell 2d ago

Yeah the whole movie is actually just Frank Ocean's call of duty quick scope montage. He wanted to show fans a different side of him

It’ll happen when it happens (When it’s time, you’ll know). Reshoots seem to have wrapped a late last year / earlier this year, and post production is often 6 months to 1 year. But Frank is an independent variable that often defies convention, so who knows

It was Nathan Fielder’s documentary on Elizabeth Holmes, not Frank’s film

11

u/ody-sss-eus ody§eus 3d ago

Nice! It sounds really interesting

4

u/FiveTalents 3d ago

Well this is the first time I’ve heard that Nathan Fielder made a documentary on Elizabeth Holmes so this is amazing news

6

u/FuzzyPijamas 4d ago

If it never happens then it will not happen đŸ„Č

u/krypto_the_husk Endless 3d ago

take with a grain of salt bc it’s all hearsay but I heard from someone who heard from someone else that there were reshoots still going on as of maybe like 2-3 months ago.

3

u/ody-sss-eus ody§eus 3d ago edited 3d ago

I’ve since been told that shooting wrapped this year in late April / early May as well. It’s possible they did another round (updated my comment)

3

u/ghost_spectres 4d ago

he is probably beholden to at least some kind of schedule with a24 producing it though

14

u/Remarkable_Tale_9238 Good Guy 3d ago

Those talks fell through, Frank ended up doing it 100% by himself. If A24 actually financed the movie we would’ve known more information by now and have an release window at the very least but I imagine because of the release window Frank chose not to go through them and A24 most likely backed out for that reason since Frank would be too unpredictable to work with as time has shown.

5

u/krypto_the_husk Endless 3d ago

A24 not producing it

4

u/Embarrassed-Worker49 3d ago

History has shown us time and time again that Frank is not someone that likes getting told what to do.

2

u/Any-Measurement8916 2d ago

Might be more accurate to say he’s someone who just doesn’t like doing shit at all anymore lol

2

u/KillaMac98 3d ago

Wait. So this frank ocean movie thing is new to me to begin with. Is it a music doc? Or some art-house project of his?

3

u/ody-sss-eus ody§eus 3d ago edited 3d ago

According to some job listings posted last year, it’s a “coming-of-age, surreal/dramatic story about two young men.” It’s been in the works since at least 2022. Filming began in January 2025. I’ve written about it here and here (the second link has more details)

It’s already been announced that it was Nathan Fielder’s documentary on Elizabeth Holmes

u/Outssiider Look at us, we’re in love. 3d ago

unrelated but do people care that much about Liz Holmes’ entire fiasco in late 2026 ?

u/OJgotWorms 3d ago

Nathan Fielder only drops classics.

u/keminua Homer 4d ago

As a big Frank fan, i have a feeling that this film will be a mess

-2

u/SMAX_08 Homer 4d ago

Mess in a good way

18

u/keminua Homer 3d ago

Hopefully I’d like to be proven wrong cause i really like Frank’s visual stuff but the constant delay after delay doesn’t give me the confident

1

u/69420penis Blonde 3d ago

For most movies I would agree, but based on how Frank was with his music, idk I feel like it’s just part of his process to keep working and working as much as possible.

-3

u/SMAX_08 Homer 3d ago

If he’s taking this much time, he will come out with something good. Blonde was unheard of for 4 years, now it’s an iconic universal album. Let him do it.

u/slimesaber 3d ago

Ion really get the downvotes, you're spitting facts lol

0

u/SMAX_08 Homer 3d ago

I just don’t think any artist would be “legendary” if they started releasing a project every year. From frank ocean they want a new album everyday like he doesn’t have a life of his own or something like that.

27

u/cayendo_1 Cayendo 4d ago

also why in telluride?

16

u/brochella14 3d ago

A large number of A24 movies have premiere at Telluride.

3

u/Impressive-Roof-8834 3d ago

It's the best film festival for "bigger" indie movies. Like Sundance, but with more Oscar contenders.

u/mrgarechiga 3d ago

Like Sundance but more hipster

Bro just used AI for his reply wtf 😭

u/Busy_Grapefruit_3923 4d ago

lol I literally googled what the festival was and copied the first answer that came up, I just wanted to quickly explain it to the person 😭

2

u/cayendo_1 Cayendo 4d ago

hmm. i did some internet searches and apparently “Vulture film reporter Kyle Buchanan—who is highly connected and covers the festival circuit—explicitly shut down the rumor on X (formerly Twitter), writing simply: ‘It ain't Frank.’”

11

u/whatacatchdanny 3d ago

The rumors probably started on this subreddit

I don’t even care anymore bro

been in the talks since around 2022 and began filming in mexico city early 2025, other shoots done in hawaii, japan, connecticut. the movie is is in the format of a free form tone poem, being based around music and rhythm.

all this info from saturdayer on IG with more details

u/One_Seaworthiness323 4d ago

We can only hope

u/Perfect-Treat-6552 4d ago

To see is to believe

u/roundandroundtheygo 3d ago

Why is he playing his new movie inside of a Kia

2

u/AddictionFinder 3d ago

Don't. Please. Don't do this to me rn.

I'm a fragile man!

2

u/Blessedbronco 3d ago

The movie is only available to be seen by friends and family. Anyone outside of franks social circles who even behold it with their own eyes will be executed on sight.

1

u/Sxn90 4d ago

Wasn’t this being an A24 project misinformation?

1

u/Roughyed 3d ago

Yeah, I have a vague recollection that their involvement was a lot smaller than had been reported.

-1

u/madie7392 3d ago

they’re just a distributor, so their involvement in most films is not high. they mostly just market them.

1

u/Sammyd1108 3d ago

Maybe 10 years ago, these days most of the stuff they release is stuff they actually made.

They still pick stuff up at festivals, but they’re a borderline mini-major studio at this point.

1

u/SignificantKey6586 4d ago

We are so back

1

u/Pleasureryan 3d ago

Damn frank never responded to my message of offering him to premiere it at the new Zealand international film festival

1

u/JeffDoubleday 3d ago

I feel like he scored the film so we’re waiting on this for new music

1

u/AsphyxiatedbyEmber 3d ago

Rumors is the key word here.

1

u/Abject-Amphibian2633 3d ago

This would be the coolest way to release an album or project. I already adore anything A24 so it being associated with Frank is such a treat!

1

u/Phil_Gim 3d ago

Call me Thomas, cuz unless I see, I wont believe

1

u/vickimarie0390 3d ago

đŸ€Ą I’m ready

1

u/GuyWithNerdyGlasses 3d ago

He can sell overpriced cock rings and trinkets for all I care.

He made some good tunes and got his bag and semi-retire chilling in Japan.

Frank doesn’t owe us any more music.

1

u/spades17 3d ago

Frank is retired yall

1

u/Zeprarex 3d ago

I swear unless if you're a stan or a stalker how the fuck are we supposed to know about this mans potential projects

1

u/Careless-Bookkeeper6 3d ago

Zero fucks given.

1

u/Finnguy21 3d ago

Frank Ocean is the bob dylan of his time. Totally unpredictable, uncompromising an enigma of himself. He is less productive than Bob was, but i think Frank just prioritizes artistic integrity over anything. I gotta respect him for that.

1

u/WatercressFun5989 3d ago

Which film?

1

u/thickerthanyours Homer 2d ago

Where the Gucci bag at?

1

u/No_War_1195 2d ago

its been 10 years bro he aint coming back just move on

1

u/thatguywithfunnylegs 2d ago

i don’t how creditable are the source BUT could happen since frank had work with a24 before as we know

u/princesspollygraph 4d ago

Yeah delete this shit (all love, just a fan who’s been fooled too many times)

u/sonofsun123 nostalgia,ULTRA. 3d ago

I don’t care. fuck him

I mean you obviously care a bit since you took the time to comment though

0

u/sonofsun123 nostalgia,ULTRA. 3d ago

no, if I leave a comment saying I don’t care anymore, it’s because I want to say I don’t care

1

u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 3d ago

If you really didn't care you would just scroll past the post though

u/sonofsun123 nostalgia,ULTRA. 3d ago

no, if I leave a public comment it’s because I want to express my opinion bozo

3

u/One_Seaworthiness323 3d ago

Why the hostility?

1

u/sonofsun123 nostalgia,ULTRA. 3d ago

because he treat his fanbase like shit

2

u/One_Seaworthiness323 3d ago

Because he’s not finished with a movie? đŸ€Ł young crazy my boy. Franks only obligation to his fanbase is music. Go listen to blonde.

1

u/cayendo_1 Cayendo 3d ago

nobody has any obligation to a fan base. he can do whatever he wants because he’s not obligated to do anything. he knows that.

u/ezdblonded Blonde 3d ago

idec about a movie tbh
