Director Brady Corbet in an exclusive interview with ETimes, explores the profound themes of his upcoming film 'The Brutalist', emphasizing open interpretation rather than propaganda, as he discusses his creative process and the film's journey to the Oscars.

Further complicating Corbet’s pay are 27 executive producers on the film, which he co-wrote with his partner Mona Fastvold, who is also an EP on the movie. She did not land as one of the designated producers in Oscar’s Best Picture category for the film.

"The Brutalist" director Brady Corbet said he made "zero dollars" for his last two films and called the film promotion process "crazy."
