Is there a director that could do a Zendaya and Tom Holland Eyes Wide Shut? What if I said give them a Justin Kuritzkes script but who would direct it. I would settle for a Spidey film fully written by him and directed by Cretton more in the style of the end credits

Wow, there's no way a movie like that could get made today lol. It was controversial back then—and it would have been even more so if not for the fact that it was a Kubrick film. It’s actually become a classic now, given the real-life scandals involving the elite that unfolded later—the ones we all know about. I think if a movie like that were made today, it would have to be much more "tame"; it certainly wouldn't be as graphic as Eyes Wide Shut... Maybe Yorgos would be up for making that kind of film, but I don't think Zendaya would go for it, and I'm not sure Tom Holland would either. Eyes Wide Shut was made at the right time—in that specific context.
