watch it: “Nothing Lasts Forever trailer”It’s not a real trailer but a collection of clips assembled, trailer-wise, from a real movie made in 1984 by Tom Schiller that was never released, even though it starred Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, as well as Zach Galligan, who had just starred in the huge hit Gremlins: See this recent piece in L.A. Weekly about the film. It’s fascinating. And the clips from the film make it look like something Wes Anderson might make today: in fact, the film looks totally modern and feels totally 21st century in sensibility, and not a work from a quarter of a century ago. Maybe we’ll get lucky and it’ll get a DVD release eventually... support

Hmm...it may have never been released theatrically, but I saw it on late night tv here in Australia some time in the late '80s.
It looks amazing, has several incredibly evocative and dreamy sequences however it doesn't hold together very well as a coherent piece of storytelling.
What I remember most about it (I would have been 15-16) when I viewed it, was how did this get made in Hollywood?
