As things stand, Avengers: Endgame is the last movie that Robert Redford<\/a> made to be released for a wide audience, which isn\u2019t a decent way for a legend to bow out, all things considered.<\/p>\n Sure, it\u2019s only a minor cameo in a superhero blockbuster, but since the 22nd entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe earned $2.8 billion at the box office, more people have seen it in cinemas than any other picture the \u2018New Hollywood\u2019 icon had ever been a part of. It\u2019s not reflective of his career, but it did bring in a ridiculous amount of eyeballs.<\/p>\n However, that wasn\u2019t his final feature-length role. Redford quietly lent his voice to an experimental and altogether odd-sounding anthology flick that roped in a cavalcade of actors and filmmakers, including Everything Everywhere All at Once\u2018s Academy Award-winning collective, Daniels, Stranger Things\u2018 Finn Wolfhard, and the late Power Rangers actor, Jason David Frank.<\/p>\n Redford, naturally, played Lokia The Dolphin Monster in Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia, the journey of Lay\u2019n Pipe, a 47-foot-long boat, from its construction through to the end of human civilisation in a loosely-connected series of vignettes where the directors were encouraged to bring as much creative freedom to the table as they wanted, resulting in an absurdist fever dream that was only screened for a select few.<\/p>\n Where did it premiere? At the 2020 edition of the Sundance Film Festival, of course. As far as anyone knows, that\u2019s the only time it\u2019s ever been shown to the public, and over half a decade later, there\u2019s still no sign of Omniboat being dragged out of the vault, dusted off, and made available. Wolfhard was in it, and even he didn\u2019t have a clue what was going on.<\/p>\n \u201cLiterally, no. I don\u2019t know what happened with that movie,\u201d he told Slash Film<\/a> several years later. \u201cThat\u2019ll be good lost media. I think I saw the short I was in, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen the whole movie. I heard it\u2019s a crazy movie and had all these different filmmakers, obviously. I\u2019m sure one day it\u2019ll come out.\u201d<\/p>\n It remains under lock and key, meaning the last movie that ever starred Robert Redford could become lost to the sands of time. He was supposed to bow out after David Lowery\u2019s The Old Man and the Gun, and admitted he shouldn\u2019t have said he was retiring<\/a>, before the lure of an Avengers sequel proved too strong to resist, apparently. Either that, or he was offered a shitload of money for his time and effort.<\/p>\n
