[QUOTE="Traycor, post: 7776622, member: 54613"] This article credits Screenrant, but they are just sourcing it from an exclusive from ThatHashtagShow. While a script for the film was apparently turned in late last month, notice the timing compared to the Vox Machina Kickstarter. The Kickstarter gets going on the 4th, then ThatHashtagShow puts out their story on the 12th, 8 days later. They were probably reporting on events that were several days old. Vox Machina became the highest funded film project in Kickstarter history on March 7th. I think this film project was rushed into the casting phase because of the success of the Kickstarter. Hollywood is typically reactionary in this way to grab whatever is hot. They have no director, but they are trying to attach a big lead to help secure a director. Especially if they want to start production in late summer/early fall (3 to 5 months away!) they are fast tracking this big time. That info means they are getting a director and a big lead come hell or high water. This is a major priority for the studio. On that tight of a time frame, they'll need to start hiring crew and building sets asap. For those that think Hollywood doesn't care about Vox Machina, I can guarantee you that every studio head is well aware of a highest funded film project in Kickstarter history. There is really no other explanation for the sudden rush. [/QUOTE]
