But there are movies made with Chinese casts, in all Mandarin that are made all the time. I watch a lot of that cinema, and a lot of those movies are not made by A24. So wouldn't they be willing to take on such a script and have it in all Chinese? Sure they are not American companies, but is that really a big deal, since several Chinese and Hong Kong movies are still successful in box office?
Were the filmmakers who wanted to make it not willing to have it be made by a non-American company at all? Plus why would you go to Disney and Fox for something like this? Those companies make fast food entertainment. Taking a script like The Farewell to Disney, is like going to McDonalds' and trying to order dom perignon. So wouldn't the filmmakers want to try other companies, than Disney or Fox, which would likely turn them down on such a script? Was A24 literally the third company they went to, or was there more in between?
When you say it got shelved for a while, that makes it sound like the filmmakers gave up after only giving the script to two companies.
