The 2015 Cate Blanchett movie nobody wanted to make: “No one wanted to fund it”It’s not easy to get a film made in Hollywood, especially when the subject matter veers on the side of taboo. During a panel at TIFF, Blanchett explained that Todd Haynes’ movie took a while to fund and actually get to the big screen. “It was a five-year period, because no one wanted to fund it at that point. No one wanted to see… who was going to watch a film with one woman, let alone two women, falling in love?” Despite its success, the Academy suspiciously excluded the movie from consideration, which left many people confused.
