I hope this film gets made...

I'm a huge Howard Hughes buff and knew after The Aviator there would have to be another film the deals with the madness from 1947 to 1976.

Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor and I would love to see Beatty and Jack work together again for the third time.

Now I put the sweat of my life into this thing, I got my reputation all rolled up in it, and I have said several times that if the Hercules fails to fly, I will leave this country and never come back... and I mean it! - Howard Hughes

I love Jack, but I warned him. Now he has Alzheimer's.

This movie coming out almost five years after the OP's posting fits a story involving Hughes, a master at the delayed film release. One of his worst, Jet Pilot, began filming in 1949 and wasn't released until 1957. The few who saw it saw a younger John Wayne and an outdated film. It bombed, like this one will, but then again, no one, Beatty least of all, thought it would actually make money at the theater box office.
