The Million Dollar Hotel
The Million Dollar Hotel is a 2000 American drama film based on a concept story by Bono and Nicholas Klein directed by Wim Wenders and starring Jeremy Davies, Milla Jovovich, and Mel Gibson. The film features music by U2 and various artists and was released on the soundtrack, The Million Dollar Hotel Music from the Motion Picture.
The story was originally developed by Bono in 1987 when filming the music video for Where the Streets Have No Name. The movie had an estimated budget ofmillion, but opened to only 29,483 in US box office, with little more success in subsequent weeks or in other countries. It also received very poor reviews, obtainingof 100 on Metacritic andon Rotten Tomatoes, although it won the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2000. In an October 2000 press conference in Sydney, before the Australian release of the film, Mel Gibson said, I thought it was as boring as a dogs ass. He later explainedIt was at the end of a day where I had done 6,000 interviews, some guy was ragging on the film and it just slipped out. Later, I thought God, why did I say that? Im an idiot I produced this film. Im distributing it It was pretty thoughtless of me, because a lot of people worked very hard on that film, and the fact is there are moments of genius in it. The soundtrack is by U2, and its phenomenal. So I really regret saying that. I have written a lot of apology letters about it. ........
