[QUOTE="OB1, post: 8214671, member: 6796241"] I'm starting to get cautiously optimistic about the film, and specifically that the script is likely pretty solid. Bad scripts don't attract this much talent to it (there is a reason that recent fantasy flops like John Carter and Warcraft didn't get this much high level talent attached), and the writer/directors are people who clearly knows what they are doing (Game Night, Spider-Man). It's no guarantee (making movies is hard, making good movies is nearly impossible), but at this point, there is good reason to believe that the film could work. I mean, we have: Chris Pine - Star of the reboot of one of the most popular Sci-Fi franchises of all time and co-star in a franchise based on one of the most popular DC heroes of all time Michelle Rodriguez - Co-star of one of the biggest action franchises of all time Hugh Grant - Hugely recognizable name who has made a comeback by switching to villain roles Rege-Jean Page - Up and coming star of a hit Netflix show likely looking to break into big screen films Sophia Lillis - Co-star of one of the biggest horror film franchises of all time and still looking to grow her career Justice Smith - Part of the Jurassic World franchise, looking for a breakout roll Chris, Michelle and Hugh all have no need to attach themselves to a project just for the cash, and all could hurt their careers by being on a massive flop. Rege-Jean, Sophia and Justice all are trying to break out into the next level of stardom, and definitely can't afford to be part of something that flops. Again, that's no guarantee that the film will work, it still needs to be shot and survive studio notes (the Vacation reboot I'm sure looked great on paper but ended up failing), but the foundation looks very, very solid.
