"Birds of Prey" would have been the political thriller of Abel Ferrara’s dreams…until it all fell apart. The neo-noir, provocative director behind movies like "Ms. 45" (1981) and "Bad Lieutenant" (1992), takes us with him on a journey through the heart of the 70's New York City.

MISSING PICTURES is a 5-part documentary series in VR that brings to life unmade films. Shot in volumetric capture, the filmmakers Abel Ferrara, Tsai Ming-Liang, Catherine Hardwicke, Lee Myung-Se and Naomi Kawase narrate to us some key points of the movie and why it was never made.

A series directed by Clément Deneux from an original idea by Joseph Beauregard.

Coproduced by Atlas V, ARTE France, BBC, PTS, Serendipity Films, Wild Fang Films, Giioii.

With the support from CNC, Pictanovo, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Procirep-Angoa, TAICCA, Film Fund Luxembourg, RAPA and Ministry of Science and ICT (Republic of Korea).

App doesn't work anymore

I have a Q3 and Q3S and have been unable to get this app working on either headset over the past few weeks. It will launch and play an intro for 1 or 2 minutes. Abel gets to the point where he talks about "big corporations taking over" in the intro--it seems this is a transition point where a new scene is supposed to load, but the app just goes black and nothing occurs. No audio, no graphics, and oddly the app doesn't crash, it just goes dark & silent. I'm actually a pretty big fan of Abel and would love to experience this, but it seems broken probably due to a Meta update. I hope the devs see this review and respond regarding a fix. I'm happy to rate this properly if they get it resolved. Until then I can't recommend.
