Needless to say, there's reason to feel ethically conflicted about this decision.
Still, the film industry has a history of a staunch, "The show must go on." philosophy even when someone dies on set.
I guess that all I can say is that, if I'm ever killed in the process of making a movie, I think I would want the movie to be finished and seen. I would just want the mistakes that were made to be thoroughly fixed.
Now that Blonde is officially being panned, my interest in the movie has gone from passing to I'll see it when I see it and I can't think of anything better.
That's not going to change the fact that Andrew Dominick's film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was a massive, ambitious undertaking that worked out beautifully. It also doesn't change the fact that Killing Them Softly, although flawed, was a deeply underrated and overlooked film.
If Blonde is legitimately as bad as people are saying that it is, I still hope that it doesn't destroy his career. If you don't play it safe, people aren't gonna like what you're doing from time to time. Dominick has never been one to play it safe. He's bound to fuck up once in a while.
