Confirmed: Terrence Malick Still Editing ‘The Way of the Wind’

March 24, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

So, Terrence Malick’s “The Way of the Wind.” Is it ready, or are we going to have to wait yet another year? That is the question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last five years as Cannes lineups have come and gone without the inclusion of Malick’s film.

Last month, I had a source telling me ‘Way of the Wind’ was “nowhere near finished” as Malick continues on his quest to shape his biblical epic. That’s when I figured it was best to take this one out of our Cannes predictions as there seemed to be no end in sight to completion.

However, just a few weeks later, another source mentioned to Variety how a cut of the film had been privately screened for buyers in Los Angeles. What? Really? It’s possible it was just a reel being show, and not the completed film.

I’ll take any Malick intel that comes our way, and the latest has filmmaker Andrew DeYoung inviting Malick to the SXSW premiere of his film, “Friendship,” but getting a reply back from the filmmaker that he was still too busy editing ‘Way of the Wind’ (via Interview Magazine)

I just invited him to our screenings. He said he’s editing right now and he’s like, “Maybe we could go on a walk or something, I’ll let you know.” And then I checked in yesterday and he’s just too busy.

In case you’re wondering, DeYoung’s film was screened over a week ago at Austin’s SXSW Film Festival. This means Malick is mostly likely still in the editing room, and unless he submits ‘Way of the Wind’ at the very last-minute for Cannes, it’ll mostly likely not be showing up there, again.

Malick has been editing the film, which was shot in 2019, for close to six years now. According to actor Mathieu Kassovitz,, Malick, supposedly, shot close to 3000 hours of footage for ‘Way of the Wind.’ Is that even possible? To attain this number you’d have to leave the camera on overnight, every night, for four straights months.

“The Way of the Wind” is supposed to convey passages “in the life of Christ” through the representation of evangelical parables. Jesus Christ's descent into the world of the dead, also known as his “descent into hades,” is rumored to be one of the parables included in the film. The cast includes the likes of Schoenaerts (as Saint Peter), Röhrig (as Jesus), Ben Kingsley, Joseph Fiennes, and Mark Rylance (as Satan).
