Oh man he’s had this film in development for the longest time.

[aleksie]

I had forgotten about it.

I think like 10+ years. I know I've heard of this project from when I was a teen.

It looks ok. Great cast, even Bruce Willis looks like he’s doing good here. But I feel like this could be the curse of the passion project.

Warners can always push Joker or Just Mercy if this doesn't play well

Edward Norton needs to be in more things.

[arilicious]

apparently he's difficult to work with, that's why he hasn't been in much lately. I guess that also explains why he wrote AND directed this lol.

I think I remember hearing that. And that he demands to be a producer on all his movies. But he's so damn great. He needs to tone down the douche factor so I can fully stan.

You know that Birdman scene where the guys are asking if Ed's character quit or was fired from his previous project and Naomi Watts said that with him it's usually both? That's literally what happened with him and Marvel.

Omg, I'm there. Also, writing, directing, and starring? To quote the man himself, "That's ambitious."

Interesting they chose to set this in the 50s, the book was modern.

The book was gimmicky but pretty good as I recall. This doesn't look much like it except for the major characters.
