The movie was shot over a year ago and now there is some kind of post-production dispute. So who knows when it will be released.

Director/Writer Nic Pizzolatto Fighting For Final Cut on ‘Easy’s Waltz’

By Jordan Ruimy | World of Reel | April 6, 2025

Q. Any update on Nic Pizzolatto’s “Easy’s Waltz”? It’s been a year since shooting wrapped.

Funny you ask. I just got some intel about this one, and quickly asked around to confirm. It sounds legit, and a post on Pizzolatto’s social media only further cements a dispute around this film.

Around 12 months ago, “True Detective” creator Pizzolatto wrapped production on his indie drama “Easy’s Waltz.”  The film stars Vince Vaughn, Michelle Monaghan, Al Pacino, and Simon Rex. Pizzolatto also penned the script, which Margot Hand is producing.

Pizzolatto’s first project since his “Blade” script got scrapped by Marvel has very much turned into another drama-induced experience for the filmmaker.

The film, which was described as “Swingers” meets “A Star Is Born,” follows a down-on-his-luck comedian-crooner navigating modern Las Vegas with old-school Vegas personalities and his self-destructive brothers.

Apparently, the editing process has been a “sh*t show,” with Pizzolatto having vehement disagreements with his producers, who are trying to force him to edit a more "audience friendly" cut of the film.

I was told to look at Pizzolatto's social media, specifically his reply to someone asking for an update on “Easy’s Waltz”: "Ahhh, temper your expectations there, my friend. The contest of 'vastly different edits' goes to the financiers," Pizzolatto replies.

This seems to confirm the final cut dispute.

Pizzolatto is not immune to drama. Back in 2019, he had teased a pitch for the fourth season of ‘True Detective,’ but then suddenly left the project. Issa López took over, and that was not without Pizzolatto being vocally against the creative direction she brought to his former show.
