This distribution company makes no sense. The founder was previously responsible for things like Spotlight and Nightcrawler, and now he's going all in on THESE movies?

Their films from the past 2 years show a big turn in priorities. One next year about a couple of sovereign citizens, lots of anti-establishment topics, and generally the kind of stuff your MAGA dad would pay to see on opening night in the theatre. Someone definitely got radicalized.

The plot of this film already sounded pretty disturbing before its lead was convicted of assault and harassment.

Why is he naked?

[scriptedending]

he's not - it's a movie about a bodybuilder, and he's wearing teeny underwear, as they do.

Why is he naked?

Bodybuilders call them posing trunks,but it's basically a Speedo.

I feel bad for all the other, non-shitty people who worked on this. He was a dick on the set, and then his off-set dickishness caused it to get pulled and super delayed. All these people get screwed over because one person can't control his temper.

Exactly; it's the grown up version of the class being made to leave the neighborhood playground because of That One Shitty Kid and it absolutely blows.

The below the line people who matter already got paid.

[meadowphoenix]

getting paid is basic, having something to reference your work is pretty important.

Given that these days you hear all about contraction and consolidation in Hollywood, how the hell are there so many distributors out there now that sound like fly by night scams? Not just Briarcliff, but like... Shout!, etc.
